This is most likely why the vast majority of suicides are men.

But, in fact, the opposite is true: 3 out of 4 suicide attempts are by women.

OP talked about suicides, you talk about suicide attempts. Both of you are right, while women attempt suicide more often, men succeed at suicide more often and hence die by suicide more often (see Gender paradox: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_differences_in_suicide)

According to CDC, men kill themselves far more often.

And yet, women make 3x as many attempts, which is more relevant in a discussion on mental anguish and not, for example, gun ownership and aptitude.
