    it’s about “success” rate. Man, mostly choose more lethal form like guns, while women often choose pills. Women acctualt make most attempts than man, but are more often rescued.

    I suspect in China there are cultural reason that unify the “preferred method off atempt”

      It does not address the question at the core: who counted what and how? Even if we accepted it as given that men were more effective in the suicide department, which may very well be backed by all individual studies, that would not make international comparisons, the like we see in the title, any more reliable. I did not see a source for this TIL and that’s why I’m throwing heaps of salt on it.

        I’m not trying to invalidate your point. I’m adding to it. It’s one more reason why this TIL don’t tell US anything useful. It nither ralible or unexpected data.
