          $begingroup$

          You used a one-sided $t$-test to test against the null that



          $$text{H}_0: mu_text{women} leq mu_text{men},$$



          but you observed $hat{y}_text{men} approx 57.8$ and $hat{y}_text{women} approx 60.3$.



          Therefore, you have very weak evidence against the null (in fact, your evidence points to the contrary), so you cannot reject it ($p approx 0.993$).
