Because they hurt when we hurt.
When something bad happens in our lives, our female friends are always good for commiseration and advice. “That stinks,” they’ll nod sympathetically. Or, “You should just march in there and give her a piece of your mind,” they’ll say indignantly. When you tell a guy about the latest trauma in your life, he might not be so adept with the hand-holding and the counseling. But most of the women we talked to agreed that men, more than women, feel other people’s pain. Where they’re lacking in sympathy, they usually make up for in empathy. Read more »

Because they put up with us.
Face it: What seems like perfectly normal behavior to us is bona fide alien-nation stuff to them. And yet, often, with great grace and good humor, men do their level best to accommodate the needs of these strange female creatures. One woman recalls how a guy she befriended in an Austrian airport walked all over said airport with her in a feverish, furious quest to purchase . . . a lipstick. ” Read more »

So far, we’ve seen him refuse to a) give you the love you need, b) modify his behavior, c) say one nice thing to you, and d) make a commitment. But wait, there’s more.

The Force-outs
So here we are, hitting the hard stuff —real breakups, we mean. This is the classic passive-aggressive maneuver: One member of a relationship wants to sever ties but refuses to say so. Finally, things get so bad that the other member is forced to do the dirty deed.

“Men,” says Dr. Eaker-Weil, “are more pathetic than women [hey, she said it, not us]. They’re like sad puppy dogs.

It depends. If you’re still attached to him, it can be a pretty devastating little piece of news. “I found out through friends that he had gotten married to a woman he’d been dating for about six months,” says Tori, a thirty-two-year-old magazine editor. “It hurt—bad. Read more »
