Remember that as Ringbearers they weren't quite normal mortals. Maybe it was like Ritalin....which has a different effect on ADHD sufferers than other people..
The Numenoreans were greedy for life whereas the mortal ringbearers wearied of it.... maybe the wonders of the undying lands made the greedy mortals worse but encouraged the world weary to enjoy their normal span?
