Women tend to have better support networks.

Women are reportedly more depressed

Women attempts more suicides because they do it to seek attention towards them.

Men suicide because they know it is useless and even more tormenting to bring in useless attention.

Be skeptical that women are more depressed. Women have more and better health services so it's quite like women are simply more likely to be diagnosed with depression. Dead bodies on the other hand are hard to miss (although suicide is often misrepresented as a car accident in young men).

On average, women have higher personality trait neuroticism, which is a predictor for depression.

Only half of male suicides are related to depression.

On average, women are incompetent at killing. Most of them attempt it for attention.

women have psychotherapy available to them.

For men there's nothing.

Implicit in the above statement: The complete overfeminization of psychotherapy

Because they even suck at suicide.

Because women whine for attention, and men pull the trigger when their lives have no hope.

A woman's life always has hope because society will always bend over backwards to help her no matter what.

Because when you half-ass it, you live and can try again.

Yes, I'm bitter, and yes, I realize that not all depressed women who attempt suicide do it for attention, but the ones that do make suicide seem like it's a societal issue, and not a predominantly male issue. It is, as the vast majority of deaths by suicide are men. The fact that men choose more lethal methods needs to be looked into more as well.
