Is anyone surprised that men are worse at putting on sunscreen and going to the doctor than women?
less likely to use sunscreen, work outside, don’t have tits, so usually topless in sunny weather.
Almost every man I know refuses to wear sunscreen, even when I offer them some of mine. I don’t understand why, it’s not like make-up – nobody can see you have it on unless you spend all day being flash photographed.
Anyway, wear sunscreen, everyone! Yes, even if you’re indoors, if you’re sitting near windows.
men are less likely to scrutinise themselves and worry about a blemish
– Less likely to care about sunscreen
– More likely to work outside
– More likely to be topless, thereby exposing more skin to the sun
– Less likely to care about getting seemingly minor health problems (like marks on the skin) checked out by a GP
Yep, sounds about right.
I work outside a lot, have leukaemia, the leukemia drugs lower my melanin levels and my mother had skin cancer. I practically shower in factor 50 and don’t care what anyone thinks.
Well there’s still a lot of so called real men out there who won’t wear sunscreen
This has always been the case, iirc.
That’s cause women have to have thicker skin cause of the toxic men 🤪
Stay safe!
I love how these articles blame men, whereas any health issue that disproportionately affects women claims sexism or that we need to do more for women, raise awareness, put campaigns out etc.
UK skin cancer is institutionally sexist
Blokes being too Alpha and ignoring the warnings.
Girls clinging onto their looks and trying not to age.
That beach looks very overcrowded
Less likely to seek treatment early, and less likely to receive treatment when needed.
The guy in the thumbnail sort of looks like a super hench Grant Shapps.
I probably need to log off for the day now.
I had to have a chunk of my chest cut out coz of it. Not fun
I can hear all our mothers shouting “go outside and get some sun it won’t kill you” well turns out it will.
My family still say open the curtains and let the sun in it’ll be good for you.
I don’t fucking think so.
That said i think i’ll do some independent aka google research because i believe the bbc as much as i believe EA.
