Rocky Relationships Tougher on Young Men Than Women

A study finds.

Contrary to popular belief, the ups and downs of romantic relationships have a greater effect on the mental health of young men than women, according to a new study by a Wake Forest University sociology professor.


Not totally surprising. I'd argue it is the existence of the "popular belief" of male coldness that leads to these results. Dudes don't talk about their hurt feelings and so yes, it gets all bottled up and weird. Chicks, on the other hand, won't shut up about it and so while being annoying, allows them to get it off their chests. Can I be making bigger gender generalizations? Woman should cook and men should chop wood. There.
