So why does a fortysomething man have more intent?

[danieltillett]

They don't as such, but when they set out to die they manage to so. This is not a good outcome.

[coldtea]

So the reason is not one of "intent", but of "effectiveness".

[danieltillett]

Well if I intend to do something then I do. I guess you could say I have learned to be effective with age.
