Do guys feelings hurt more than girls?

[Akam93]

[CaptainOverthink]

No.
I don't think so, but I guess it depend a lot on who the person is and what they have been used to in the past (Genes[nature] play a part but life-experience and mindset[nurture] more).
This is impossible: But if let say both a woman and a man had been through the same, had the same genes exactly (except for their sex being different), same friends and had the exact same situation happen to them AND we measure pain through 3 stages (Initial hurt, the how-to-deal-period and after acceptance), then I would guess it's just as painful.

Other than that I'm sure it varies personally but also because:
- Men and women generally make different choices in short due to their sex, hormones, upbringing etc.
- Women usually also have emotional support-networks with their friends in a different way, which could mean that they deal with their emotional effects better.
- Men have more expectation on them to be fine by the hurt but obviously aren't, though some resistance-training does lower the pain-threshold but extends the suffering in the how-to-deal-period.

This is so complex, I could probably go on butit is so much speculation it seems pointless to try, you'd be better off asking a neurologist but somehow I think they'd take the question differently.

[Summeroflove]

I think this is a individual thing.

It doesn't depend on gender. Usually, the person and how they react and deal with their emotions. Also, depends on the situation.

At times

I wouldn’t know, never been a girl before. But we do feel things and sometimes shit can really hurt, we are just taught by society to toughen up, we’re a man, so we do, we bundle it up real tight and shove it into a corner with the rest of them. But sometimes the bundle you try to pack is too big, the ropes are barely holding on, then bam, the pressure from the bundling slaps you twice as hard and the shockwave causes a chain reaction with some other bundles that you packed away. And now here I am, sitting in my chair with alcohol in hand, my hydraulic press to pack it up tighter.

I read once in a psychology magazine that guys are more sensitive than girls. It has something to do with guys holding in their emotions and later, those emotions come out in other ways.

There are a lot of things guys won't admit to. I think show those emotions in other ways, like when they get in a position of power and use that power to destroy, they're taking out frustration.

There are a lot of guys that swear they don't cry. They're definitely lying if they say they don't. Every person on earth cries and every person on earth with a brain conveys emotions. Guys might be better at hiding it, but then again, I used to know girls that could sniff out if a guy was hiding his feelings.

I doubt if it has anything to do with gender. Some people hurt more, emotionally, than others, regardless of whether they are male, or female.

Where men suffer, however, is in dealing with our emotional pain. Women are typically more sociable, and tend to have more of a support circle. They have friends/family they can confide in, and get help in healing.

Men typically keep things to ourselves. It's less socially acceptable for us to express our feelings, and others don't generally care as much about our feelings, as they do women's. We're told to "man up," or "get over it." So, we keep it to ourselves.

There have been studies that suggest women feel emotional pain more strongly/deeply than men, but men suffer emotional pain for longer than women, as a result.

[TooHot2Care]

I wouldn’t say “more” as it’s really hard to measure feelings.

I would say that we just can’t express those feelings as openly as you can without punishment and have to bottle them up.

They fester and rot inside of us and we ah…. Become something else. Something we don’t recognize anymore. Something that feels strange in this world.

Therapy is a necessity, but finding a good therapist is HARD.

Lucky for me, I have a therapist , two best friends , a cousin who is like my big brother, another cousin who is like my bigger brother, and a mother who has improved beyond the person who has given me much trauma in the past.

It’s not who hurts more, It’s who has easier access to a support system for when the cup that is you is being filled with mud?

The thing girls have that guys don’t is a bunch of members of the same sex to comfort them immediately after something happens and let them cry. It’s a very rare occurrence, might happen a few times in a man’s life. In this way, guys are more hurt. But it’s part of society. I don’t think civilization could function if men acted like girls in this way. It’s mostly ok though, we can do it and we forget the small stuff.
In a neutral scientific experiment environment, I don’t know which sex is capable of more sadness. I know there’s some scientific differences like women can handle more stress.

[Opinion Owner]

Also we have a silent manly way of comforting each other \ : )
It will take me some time to put it into words.
Like we will do things without saying anything, but in perfect synchronized harmony. Something that will help the sad guy’s situation (if only a little bit. Whatever is the most we can do.)

[MrOracle]

I don't know that anyone can say for sure, but my guess is probably not.

Having said that, I think guy's feelings get hurt far MORE than most women realize - even if it doesn't quite rise to the level of women's pain. Most women assume guys are feelingless and can't be hurt, but they absolutely can. Just because men don't usually show it to the women, doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

[Pyrofox]

I'd say guys have to deal with the pain faster and hide it quicker. Do they hurt more I'd say thats subjective to a degree. It depends on the level of empathy absorbtion they have. Some people crumble others bear with the emotions around them and some just collapse inwards.

[Genie23]

It depends on individuals. We shouldn't make generalization based on gender. I say some guys are as emotional and sensitive as some girls are. So, we can't tell for sure

[NathanDavis]

it's not a gender thing... every person and situation are different

[BoopBoopBeep]

No. Generally speaking women are more emotionally responsive to outside stimuli. Things that may hurt their feelings I genuinely don't care about.

[SirJohn42]

Well no I dont think so.

Because we think diffrently.
I think its pretty even to be honest.

When it comes to abuse most guys keep it hidden within.

Guys dont tend to show emotions like women do.
Women tend to show more.

[jshm2]

Depends.

I've male friends who are absolute wimps. But know some chicks who kill for a living.

[itsalyssaagain]

I think if they really did love you then yeah. It’s harder for them to move on.

[invalid1]

It may be surprising but we feel also, and it is okay.

[Wild_princess]

I believe me can't compare the one who is more invested gets hurt more

[LovingJo]

No. Its on an individual basis. But I think females feel things differently, to men.

[MysteriousDarkness]

Its on an individual basis. I have known guys who have been hurt more than so m e wimen but less then other women.

[Enochian]

Well all I know is I’m hurt at the moment. Personally I think it’s how people respond to it

[CuriousChick101]

Feel better soon 🙂

[Whatisthatname]

I think both men and women hurt equally. But men are being taught not to show that they are hurt.

[MackBoy]

It is according to the person, so we can't tell who gets hurt.

[stoicity]

We all are emotional beings, one gender hides better than the other, but it all feels the same.

[GoodEnoughThen]

No. Every person is different.

[es20490446e]

Not more, just more often 😅

[Greenbins]

It really depends on the person.

[RavVid]

I'd say yes.

[Christoff92]

Depending on the guy

[shades777]

It DEPENDS!

[Mettbltt]

yes...

[TrillXHippy]

Nope

[Anonymous]

Lol, no.
