From reading this, males often do not fare well in many speciies but one othe worse it with spiders. The Redback spider male only lives about 3 months while the female lives for 3 years. This is because mating is always fatal for the male while the famale mates several times in her life time thus she dispatches about a dozen males herself. Of course, the male does actually throw himself at her so he can be killed by the female as she eats him. At least the male spiders do realize the main reason males exist, to please the females.
