Do hot guys get depressed if the woman he loves rejects him?

[Anonymous]

.

And I mean a woman he actually had feelings for. A woman he knew a lot about.

YES

NO

[genericname85]

what is this question? xD men are humans. you are human. you know what it's like to be a human. depression after rejection is a thing for all humans.

[ProbablyClueless]

If he loved her, of course he would get depressed.

So rejection is hard no matter how good looking you think you are. I cannot say it's easier or harder for hot guys. Let me tell you this though, as a moderately handsome man, it gets easier as you get older and realize the next woman is jsut around the corner. But for some guys, they do not have it this way. Especially if they are not "HOT" their woman can be spaced by years, and not days or months.

So, in this regard I would say it easier for "hotter" guys, because they have dealt with it 10 times as much.

Sure, hot guys have feelings too.

The difference is, a hot guy can go bang 20 other girls to help get over it, and there are more girls waiting in line hoping for a turn when he's done with the first 20. The majority of men don't have that option, but hot guys do, and the vast majority of them take full advantage of it.

Why is this question about "hot guys"?

Wouldn't you expect that guys who aren't hot feel the same way when "the woman he loves rejects him"?

So, your question should be "Do guys get depressed if the woman he loves rejects him?"

Is the reason you are asking this because you are only interested in "hot guys"?

Now, I will cut you some slack. Perhaps you are thinking that "hot guys" recover more easily because it is easier for them to find a new girlfriend. That's likely true.

HOWEVER, that also illustrates that you don't understand love - real love. When a man is in love, there is no other female for him - period! He is devastated without her and has a massive broken heart. The only thing that will help him is time - a few years at least, but, in some cases, never. Then, he MAY be able to move on although he may never be who he was ever again.

>>> This goes whether the guy is "hot" or not.

Study: Women hurt more by breakups but recover more fully
August 12, 2015

Women experience more emotional pain following a breakup, but they also more fully recover, according to new research from Binghamton University.

Researchers from Binghamton University and University College London asked 5,705 participants in 96 countries to rate the emotional and physical pain of a breakup on a scale of one (none) to 10 (unbearable). They found that women tend to be more negatively affected by breakups, reporting higher levels of both physical and emotional pain. Women averaged 6.84 in terms of emotional anguish versus 6.58 in men. In terms of physical pain, women averaged 4.21 versus men’s 3.75. While breakups hit women the hardest emotionally and physically, women tend to recover more fully and come out emotionally stronger. Men, on the other hand, never fully recover — they simply move on.

According to Craig Morris, research associate at Binghamton University and lead author on the study, the differences boil down to biology. Women have more to lose by dating the wrong person.

“Put simply, women are evolved to invest far more in a relationship than men,” Morris said. “A brief romantic encounter could lead to nine months of pregnancy followed by many years of lactation for an ancestral woman, while the man may have ‘left the scene’ literally minutes after the encounter, with no further biological investment. It is this ‘risk’ of higher biological investment that, over evolutionary time, has made women choosier about selecting a high-quality mate. Hence, the loss of a relationship with a high-quality mate ‘hurts’ more for a woman.”

Conversely, as men have evolved to compete for the romantic attention of women, the loss of a high-quality mate for a man may not “hurt” as much at first, Morris said.

“The man will likely feel the loss deeply and for a very long period of time as it ‘sinks in’ that he must ‘start competing’ all over again to replace what he has lost — or worse still, come to the realization that the loss is irreplaceable,” he said.

Morris said that breakups are important because most of us will experience an average of three by age 30, with at least one affecting us strongly enough that it substantially decreases our quality of life for weeks or months.

“People lose jobs, students withdraw from classes and individuals can initiate extremely self-destructive behavior patterns following a breakup,” he said. “With better understanding of this emotional and physical response to a breakup — Post Relationship Grief — we can perhaps develop a way to mitigate its effects in already high-risk individuals.”

The study, “Quantitative Sex Differences in Response to the Dissolution of a Romantic Relationship,” was published in Evolutionary Behavioral Sciences on July 31.

No no no I can't speak for anybody else but I've been turned down not rejected just turned down a few times and in that moment your face is beat red and you're walking away very quietly and slow talking to yourself screaming on the inside and laughing all at the same time because you're totally embarrassed but then you have to stop and think about it there's nothing to be embarrassed about it's a human being a girl that said no for whatever reasons it does not matter you're still going to be friends with that girl you're still going to go out and do things with that girl so it's not that big of a deal

[artgorgeous]

What are they, not humans or what? Of course they do feel depressed like any other humans. The thing is just they have more chance to recover faster that other guys who aren't that hot.

[MementoMori777]

Yes if he actually loves her, the woman leaving him would put him in a vulnerable spot I'd assume

[Pudsmucker]

Yes I was quite distraught when I was jolted by the woman I thought loved me. It took me awhile to get over her.

[Danny_dan92]

I move on, lmao I won’t lose sleep if a girl rejects me.




Got plenty of other more important things to worry about

[Asker]

So you never fallen in love?

[Danny_dan92]

Oh I have lol but I became a product of my environment. Lmao

[Danny_dan92]

Not wasting my time with a potential slut.

My time, money, effort, peace is too valuable to me

[Asker]

What do you mean your environment

[Danny_dan92]

I crossed paths with a girl that changed me, a girl the emulated the same behavior of a lot of girls these days lol

[Asker]

What’s that behavior?

[Danny_dan92]

Being hoes lol not understanding that you cannot do some actions while in a relationship that are socially acceptable when single

[LiamJHayden]

I have no personal experience with being a hot guy, but I do not get depressed about rejection.

[Juxtapose]

No, we're used to rejection that since men are the ones who initiate.

[Asker]

I said HOT MEN.
You don’t fit in that category

[Juxtapose]

Believe It or not your validation is not the only validation that means anything. I get lots of compliments from men and women about my desirability. Meanwhile you don't even show your face.

[Juxtapose]

Why should I care what some faceless coward thinks?

[Asker]

I doubt you get validation of any sort. They do it out of pity

[Juxtapose]

You're so narrow-minded you can't see out of your own perception and that will be your downfall.

Plenty of people like me and there are plenty of people that are quite ugly in my eyes who get plenty of validation as well. It's not out of pity either.

[justabuddy]

Life doesn't care if you are hot or not. It still throws punches.

[Sunnybeach123]

Yes, it's devastating. Especially when she makes fun of your size as an excuse to leave.

[RealMarek]

Yes, it can happen.

[exitseven]

Yes, when it rains, everyone gets wet

[Anonymous]

Yeah the first few times. The more it happens the less it hurts.

[BarryLiverstone]

Yes even we have hearts and it hurts

[ChiTown33]

Everything is relative.

[TonyMetal___86]

Does the guy have to be hot for that? 😄

[Andres77]

Pain is pain.
