Men likely have more difficult lives on average as they are over-represented among the lowest economic strata and take on more dangerous jobs.<ref>https://endhomelessness.org/demographic-data-project-gender-and-individual-homelessness/</ref><ref>https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckdevore/2018/12/19/fatal-employment-men-10-times-more-likely-than-women-to-be-killed-at-work/</ref> | Men likely have more difficult lives on average as they are over-represented among the lowest economic strata and take on more dangerous jobs.<ref>https://endhomelessness.org/demographic-data-project-gender-and-individual-homelessness/</ref><ref>https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckdevore/2018/12/19/fatal-employment-men-10-times-more-likely-than-women-to-be-killed-at-work/</ref> | ||

Cross-culturally, women score higher in neuroticism (emotional instability and sensitivity to negative emotion) on average with a difference of d = 0.40 (especially in the facet anxiety, d = .56),<ref>https://www.gwern.net/docs/psychology/2018-kajonius.pdf</ref> but results obtained by questionnaires may underestimate sex differences. Adult women cry on average 4 times as often and more intensely (d > 1.0).<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_cry_four_times_as_much_as_men_and_never_outgrow_teenage_crying_behavior</ref> These crying patterns have a more childish character in line with overall female [[neoteny]], possibly as an adaptation to look needy and get investment from males (''baby schema''),<ref>Eibl-Eibesfeldt I. 1989. ''Human Ethology.''
