Question

Is that true

ohshee · Accepted Answer

I would like to say that it was equal but I know it's not
Girls get hurt the worst because you're the I think that this guy really likes them she puts out and then he walks away and I think that's just your bullshit the girls you need to get that for you can't give it up not unless you know for a fact I mean I know you know what you're doing and I know you know why you're doing it
They're heart is in the right place but they've been manipulated and there's the ones that end up with the broken heart the guy knew what he was doing he had it all planned out it just makes you a dick

Since guys are expected to be the ones to initiate relationships, they probably face more rejection and disappointment than girls. This may harden them, so the end of a relationship is seen as just one more on the list of rejections and disappointments. They may also invest less in the relationship, in anticipation of not measuring up and being pushed out of the relationship. They get so used to being criticized, that they numb themselves to the pain of the frequent negative comments and rejections.

I think more often... but do they suffer more? I don't think so, girls are mentally stronger. It's men who committ suicide out of love (and any other reason), women almost never do it.

Leshen · Accepted Answer

I don't think so. Honestly, it seems pretty even to me.

I can speak on behalf of all guys and all girls but let me crystal clear on my life. I have tried everything since my high school days. To be assertive and ask a girl out to prom, only to be rejected. I have tried to dress differently, preppy, gangster back in high school to "attract" girls and that didn't work either. I have been on the receiving end of "you're a great guy but...", "I don't like you that way", "I'm with someone". Then I dealt with girls who just wanted a one night stand or to send dick pics. I don't get what modern day girls want and for a guy who's still a virgin and never had a girlfriend, never been kissed. I'm surprised at myself that I have not seized those opportunities to have "fun" with girls and go with those sexual desires.

Mind you, I'm not some weird overweight or super skinny guy who's dumb, broke, creepy and ugly. I think I am a decent looking guy, in shape, cooks good food, can make others laugh, caring, loyal, knows when to give people space, I am not a narcissistic guy who wants the spot light on him or some fuck boy. Plus I'm saving money to get my own place in the city, I'm in grad school and have a good job. Maybe girls don't see me as having potential but one thing is, I take that as a slap to the face but to prove others who doubted me that they were wrong and that's my silent retribution once they release what I have accomplished.

MrOracle · Answer

Yes. Guys face more (much more) rejection, which is similar but different, but as far as broken hearts, women experience that more than men.

Mostly, that's because most women can't have casual sex - when they try, they still fall for the guy, because sex causes their brains to release oxytocin - the "bonding hormone" - and they get emotionally attached to the guy even if they don't want to and even if they know it's a bad idea. And when the guy doesn't feel the same way, she gets hurt.

(Most) men, on the other hand, absolutely have the ability to have casual sex without developing an emotional connection with the girl, so we don't get emotionally hurt by that. Of course, we still develop romantic feelings for certain girls (whether we sleep with them or not), but that's generally a significantly smaller number of women than the ones we want to have sex with.

Aerissa_Jade · Answer

Yes and no, Guys get hurt a lot too... no doubt, more rejection but girls get guys pretending to love us to use our bodies.

Sure guys get girls pretending to love for money, but I think using someone's body is worse... Money can be replaced, you cannot undo using a body.

McKellar · Answer

I can't really say that's necessarily true. There was a comparison study that women do go through a number of break ups, get their heart broken, express their broken heart, they do fully recover and move on.

Men on the other hand do get their heart broken, they express very little of their heart being smashed, but they never really do fully recover long after they moved on and found a different partner.

Anonymous · Answer

Not true.

Most people wouldn’t expect this coming from me, if you knew me.

6ft, tall 27 years old. Muscular, Covered In tattoos. Construction worker. Ect……. people look up to me, as being tough, manly.

truth is i hurt and love like everyone else does. I have feelings too deep down just dont always show it.

Id say guys and girls hurt the same.

hahahmm · Answer

Maybe but it's 100% offset by the fact women are way more likely to fake being into a guy when they're really not. So for every 1 time her heart is broken she broke 10 dude's hearts and a man should not care about her feelings when it comes time to dump her.

integrale77 · Answer

I believe so as majority of women think with there heart where as men tend to be more logical to there decision making.
Probably why a woman could catch feelings for someone in a one night stand situation where as a guy just with just focus on getting there end away.

Interesting article on this

kinggeorge007 · Answer

I don't think so. Girls usually have the upper hand so they have the choice. They mostly use rebounds to deplete the pain.

But on the other hand men might get excited just after the break up but in the long run, men suffer more because they tend to stay single for longer times than girls after a breakup.

Hairylegs222 · Answer

Women are more emotional having a harder time getting over it and taking much longer. That's probably why it may seem like women suffer more broken hearts to some people. I move on immediately every time. The relationship is over so no point being a cry baby about it. There's billions of other people out there anyways and still not moving on from 1 person is pointless.

subrugbylad · Answer

I think heart break is applicable to both genders equally. It may feel that Women suffer more but I honestly believe that is down to Women far more comfortable in talking their feelings through with friends etc. Men are very good at hiding the heart break pain, but they do still hurt.

OddBeMe · Answer

ehh, probably on the surface but we all have feelings. We could put every human on a spectrum and there would be sociopaths with no sympathy and then complete maniacal mothers with all of it.

Women are more emotional on the surface I'd argue. At least its ok in their eyes to be. Men can't cry.

lightbulb27 · Answer

Depends on if the heart was offered and that’s about the individual. Guys get a lot of rejection but they may be conditioned to handle it over time. Girls seem less adept at rejection and more emotionally impacting.

wa1t1ngFuture · Answer

According to the internet and experiences of some women I've seen, it's true... because men are taught not to cry over a broken heart because it's embarrassing. so answer is "girl feel more heartbroken."...

Jabberjaw · Answer

I'd say yes, because girls build up stories in their heads more often, setting themselves up for heartbreak when nothing really happened lol. So yes they experience it more but more often self inflicted

HawkPerception · Answer

Highly disagree with that. It's even scientifically proven that emotions are just as strong in men as it is in girls.

trumpets310 · Answer

A lot of people think their gender is the only one that gets their heart broken. Different genders might show it differently, but I'd say it's not true at all

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

I don't know, just going by life experience, I'd say guys end up having their lives ruined by a bad relationship more than women.  Chicks seem to move on pretty quick.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

It’s likely going to be very close to equal. breaking up is never easy to do.

crossdressingrihno · Answer

Nope Men just aren't allowed the express it any way other than indifference or anger and even then we're not allowed to express anger for very long

BarryLiverstone · Answer

Overall yes because girls seem to become more emotional and more deeply into a guy early as a crush or in a new relationship

Snsl153 · Answer

Hard to say. We probably feel the pain in different ways, and deal differently with it because of that.

Anonymous · Answer

By numbers, yes, the average man goes on significantly less dates than the average woman. Women tend to go on dates with guys they actually have some investnent in which probably means other women are invested in him as well giving him the leverage of choice.
If he doesn't select you, broken heart.

SimpleGuy95 · Answer

No I'd consider that a highly subjective question. How do you wanna know? Does it make a guy a woman if he is sad after a break up and she's not?

Moose304 · Answer

Hurt depends on how much emotion was invested in the relationship NOT the sex of the person. Both men and women both can be devastated by a breakup.

VanillaSalt · Answer

When you figure out how to assign a numerical value to emotions lmk and I’ll tell you…

Rizwan_khan · Answer

No that's not true boys suffer more but they can't express that on face and infact they are in pain but handle themselves somehow guys are more emotional but fail or afaird to show emotions.

Valso · Answer

No. Women have no emotions whatsoever. There's the expression "ice queen" about a woman for a reason, but there's no expression "ice king".

Luopio27 · Answer

I dont think its the question of gender, its a question of atraction levels, who suffers the most rejections and broken hearts.

BLP11520 · Answer

I don't know, rejection hurts. When I was young what you drove and how much $ you had was important to girls. Glad to be married and never have to date again.

Kingofkings1992 · Answer

Nope. Girls have more of a victim complex, but that’s about it.

Nah. Women take simple things and make them more important for attention. Men suffer more damaging heart breaks.
