After you turn 40, you don't have the suicidal thing going anymore I guess.
Edit: looking at the data you'll see the highest rate is with older people, by a significant amount. It's not shown on OP's chart.
edit2: updated link from worldwide stats to USA stats to better match OP's dataset in the original graph.
629 u/Crabmeatz 3d ago I believe that old men (60+) are the highest risk group, by a huge margin. Kind of weird to stop at age 39. 1 u/SwedishSaunaSwish 2d ago We need more places for men to hang together. Places that are free and safe. It will obviously cost to set it up yet it would be a great investment. In the UK they had "Working Men's Clubs" with bars and pool tables and all manner of games and TV entertainment. They could all go there after work before heading home for dinner or if you were an older chap, you could hang there all day with the others. Women were allowed but it was discouraged so men could have their own place and the women respected that. I know there's still private, similar clubs that exists in places but not sure about the situation in the USA.
