Do women have higher success rates with the SN method than men do ?

If so why ?

No, one's sex would not determine likelihood of success with SN.

Why would you think they would offhand? I mean, maybe some people may be drawn to certain methods more than others. But just curious why you're thinking there'd be a different success with something that effects basically blood/oxygen types of things that would more or less be gender neutral.

The dosing is done by weight. So if you are a large man (or woman), over a certain weight, a larger dose would be required versus if you were a smaller man or woman. From what I understand if you are over a certain weight a certain lethal dose is recommended, and if you are under that weight a certain dose is likewise recommended kind of thing.

I was just thinking how I personally have not seen any SN fail threads by women on this site. It made me wonder if this method works better for women because generally speaking woman are smaller, lighter, and weaker (less muscle mass) then men although women do have a better immune system then men. Or did the women who succeeded did so because they planned and prepared better and carried out a better regiment.

It's actually a very interesting thought. Other things to look into - do more women chose SN; or are women more resolved to carry it through? Too many variables though.

The only failed attempts I have seen have been as a result of using other liquids or medications to complicate the digestive and Chemical reaction process. I think this is just random human error. Interesting observation though if it is mostly males that have made the error, but I assume that is mostly coincidence.

The biggest factor is likely body weight. I for example am 5'6 and 112 pounds. The standard dose is likely a little bit excessive for me, but better safe than sorry. The other side of that would be someone who is very overweight. If you had an adult that was 300 pounds for example it is logical that they would need more than a person who is 112 pounds, but in the end a fatal dose is a fatal dose. That's why it is averaged at 25. The range is something like 18 to 30, so 25 is a good round number that basically covers all the bases. Personally, if I were obese I would probably up it too 30, but I think having too high a dose would cause more pain and potential complications.

Well, we don't really know how much the women weigh either ;) I've just noticed from things that the main thing seems to be the 'not being discovered' as the main thing, with 'following guide' close second. I mean it can accidentally happen. Sickness, status of health/etc can all vary. Considering the failures have been being discovered, or doing things that make it less effective, I'd chalk up the failure to that more than gender myself offhand.

It may be due to, as someone previously stated, that women are generally smaller on average and so the required lethal dose is theoretically lower for them than for men. The recommended amounts on here are a one size fits all, so women are probably more likely to succeed due to the effects of the SN occurring sooner than in men. Possibly?

I mean, moonicide lost consciousness within 15 minutes for example but I've seen male users saying they're still awake and comparatively fine at that point.

They do say if you consider yourself larger to take slightly more SN, can't think where I read this, but it was on here. But poison is poison, I don't think it works better for anyone in particular.

I don't think it's necessarily more effective. As someone else said if you are larger then maybe take more but 5 grams of absorbed SN is enough to kill any man or woman. The 20 - 25 grams recommended is just to ensure success.
