If memory serves Men have like 300 ng/dl Testosterone to a womens 20 ng/dl the article above uses the 1/7th amount for gender difference-- (T is actually a bitch to measure accurately cause it fluctuates quickly.) on avg though Blacks have about 3% more Testosterone than whites
Testosterone is converted by aromatase into estrogen and an older man would in fact have higher estrogen levels than a post menopausal woman. and in some cases (obesity) would have higher levels than a younger woman--though less than during the estrogen spike for ovulation.
ok I give up my search for a basal level of female estrogen concentration--(replacement therapy is about 650ng/day a womans estrogen base line level is (I think) about 10 times that of men (regardless of hair color)--aromatase converts less than 2-15% of a mans testosterone into estrogen but that rises with age...and to top it all off semen has higher concentrations of estrogen than in womens blood...
so the simple answer is no--blond men dont have as much estrogen as you do (pre-menopause)...but they have more estrogen than a brunette man or a black man. ---and more body fat likely too
