Higher suicide rates in themselves might not be an evolutionary handicap.

They probably get far more stuff done relative to the ones that are emotionally closer to females and live longer. Just spit balling here.

Why would they get more done? Suicide seems like the ultimate method to not get shit done

I guess that depends whether they do it on the way up or on the way down w.r.t. productivity. If people offed themselves before they became a burden on others that might be a positive for society.

Depends on how you measure 'positive for society'. Some might count people not feeling so bad they're killing themselves in that column.
