Why do women OUTNUMBER men worldwide....???

I've often wondered why we hear/learn that women outnumber men in the world. For males - that's certainly an advantage as we males have A BIG selection pool...as we look for hot, attactive, sexy women.
But get this: we've learned that the female ovum is genetically "female" and the sperm has XY. SO.....this is 50/50 chance of being male or female, right...? Correct.
Here are some interesting stats to why female outnumber males:

Facts on Females Living Longer & Stronger
Male births slightly outnumber female births, but boys have a higher death rate if born premature: 22 percent compared with 15 percent for girls.
Overall, more newborn males die than females (5 to 4).
Sudden infant death syndrome is one and a half times more common in boys than girls.
As teenagers, boys die at twice the rate of girls.
Men have fewer infection-fighting T-cells and are thought to have weaker immune systems than women.
By the age of 36, women outnumber men.
Stroke, cancer, diabetes, heart disease and accidents--all among the top causes of death--kill men at a higher rate than women.
American men typically die almost six years before women do.
By the age of 100, women outnumber men eight to one.

well, well, it depends how you calculate it.
for every ONE female 1.014 male is born.(more males)
But women live an average of longer life than men.
male die of SIDS (under two year old) because the XY that makes a male..
The Y is shorter than X and lacks some immunity compare to X. that is why
more males die that females in younger age.SIDS stands for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
Big one who mostly dies in the wars? Men for sure.
Majority of soldiers are males(99.9) in all over the world.
so men are killed and that is why we have more women in the world than men.....but if we calculate the birth......yes more males are born than females are because Y which makes a male is shorter and is faster in speed than X which is heavier.And Y hits the egg faster(before) X does.
so as result we get more males born than females...but then more males die than females cause of SIDS and wars and we get more females in the world than males.
But most statistics agencies (even CIA) count number of men and female based on which gender is born more......NOT which is ALIVE....more....
Hope it helps
