Once read elsewhere that women's attempted suicide is to act out in a dramatic fashion as a cry for help.
A man's attempted suicide is to quietly stare at a loaded gun for an hour before putting it away.
I have a feeling the numbers are alot worse, are always in men's 'favor', and we'll never really know the whole picture barring some omniscient narrator.

There’s also impulsivity vs not…
Of course, this varies massively from person to person, but I think men might… Consider it for longer, before actually following through…
Which feeds back into choice of method, etc.
Like, it’s something they’ve considered for some time, before… They just can’t take it anymore.
But yeah, that’s the problem with people misunderstanding it and thinking that all suicides/attempts are the same…
A grim comparison for suicides:
A woman's suicide attempt is your classic slit the wrists in the bathtub after leaving a note or message, slow but can be stopped by quick first aid
Men's suicide is like Aokigahara forest in Japan, unless you truly make the effort to look, you won't find ALL the bodies.
