Wondering what guys do when they're heartbroken?

lol.. i think guys is more secretive than girls they tend to hide their frustration and loneliness. while a girl could be more expressive about her feelings. some girls and guys could easily accept the situation while some regret. some try to win back their ex and some just find some replacement. while some just proceed with their life as if nothing happen and accept the fact the relationship is already over.

When i am very sad , i will just run under the rain, i seem to get crazy but in fact i am not.what i want to do is to forget my sadness.

I think when a guy got heartbroken it is the same as girls, I mean some of the girls. YOu can see some guys having bottle drinking with his peers, this is for them to forgot the painful event. Some do cry when they are drunk. I have a one male friend and he shared that when he is hurt, he go to the gym and workout. Sometimes he go to the basketball court and play alone until he gets tired and sleep. He do cries, according to him. He says he do the drama too.

Actually I'm not wondering what they do when they're heartbroken, I'm more concerned with how they handle things with grace. Men are socially taught to be tough ever since they were little. They were taught that boys don't cry, that they had to be tough and not show emotions. I know some men who drinks a lot to get over a heartbreak, some who shuts down for a while and bounce back in again. It actually depends on the personality of the person.

heartbroken was like the end of the world, as if there is no tomorrow knowing she was out of my life, lol! but that was ages ago when i was in my younger years and looking at it now, well i just realize how foolish i have been, probably stupid, lol! i drank, cried and was awake for three two days without sleep.

Ahh! those days...I remember how sad I was when she left town to pursue her career, and left me behind. Irony was that I was her biggest motivator. I used to tell her to chase her dreams, encouraged her whenever self-doubt creeped into her mind, pulled her up when she felt down. Even she was aware that she will have to choose either me or her career. I was settled here and I could not go with her. And if she chose career and left there was no looking back, she will never come back. She will leave for good. There were quite a few times that she cried on my shoulders due to this and I will surreptitiously shed tears hiding them from her. But I still comforted her and used to tell her all crap philosophies like destiny and stuff. And she would feel better, emotional that she was. So one fine day she got admitted to the university. It was one of the most emotional days of both our lives. We felt happy and sad at the same time, laughed one moment cried the next. I won't forget that day ever in my life. And then in a month came the day when we were to seperate. With her family and friends I was also there at the railway station. We didn't speak a single word and just hugged once. Surprisingly not a tear did we shed till we were out of each other's sight. The next few days it did actually feel like my heart was bleeding. I was moving around like a zombie. Quite a few times it felt like it wasn't real, must be a dream. I just couldn't come to terms with the circumstances, couldn't let go of her. But time is a great healer. Slowly I moved on as life went on. Today I haved gotten over her but she still holds a special place in my heart. Its been three and half years. Neither she nor I have been in another relationship yet. We still keep in touch over the phone, emails and IMs. P.S. - I have a feeling the pangs will come back somewhat the day she tells me she has got a boyfriend. And even more the day she tells me she found 'the one' and she is going to get married. Till then...

I have been heartbroken so many times in my life. It usually causes me to sleep alot and cry alot too.

I for one dont think it is macho to feel nothing. There is difference between sophisticated, sauve, kind, considerate, loving, and affectionate man, and a stud. I think most men would come in the first category. They, however, try to hide their hurt, because traditionally they are supposed to be men, and not cry, and secondly it is an ego issue. That does not mean they dont hurt. They hurt. But with that pain, they also become caring and understanding. So if we are hurt, we are possibly learning how another person feels, felt, or would feel.

may be some do think like the same as girls do when break up.However many forget fast and get on track easily.They even try to have another women in their lives very fast.This happens with both girls and boys.Just it depends on how they react with the situation and handle it.

Some guys drink if they are heartbroken, cry a little, and joins the company of their friends. But, guys can cope up easier that women. I've seen a lot of my boy friends mend their broken hearts easily, after a month you will see them with another girl.

I do not know have never seen men suffer.Apparently men do not show it much.Hide it deep inside.But I know that men suffer but not always reveal their feelings. nice day!

HAHA! Good Question! Some of my friends will probably musterbat. themselves and you know...it's a guy thing. Well others will probably get over it and find some prositutes to you know... let them relax and everything. Most people will just hangout with friends and the more time they hang out and stop thinking about it they will probably heal by letting time pass through. and most of the guys won't cry in the public but in their bedrooms..haha..hard to say.
