For men, the sentimental relationship counts more than for women: it is the conclusion to which several studies in the past had arrived, and which is confirmed with new reasons by a research published on Behavoral and Brain Sciences.
According to what discovered by the researchers, Men tend to obtain greater physical and mental benefits from the relationship Compared to women: this motivates them to look for a partner, and make sure that they tend not to close a relationship and suffer more when a story ends. “Single men are normally less happy than single women, both in western and oriental cultures,” explains Elaine Hoan, an expert not involved in research.
Don’t be a girl! The study, which analyzed over 50 research conducted on the subject, hypothesizes that the fact that men count so much on their own sentimental relationship derives from the different emotional education had since childhood. “Males are not recommended to show their vulnerability,” explains Iris Wahring, coordinator of the study. Parents tend to emphasize a language focused on emotions more with females daughters than with males, who often – unlike the sisters – are punished when showing themselves sad.
Without friends. These habits during childhood grow more closed men, who do not seek support from friends and family and who, consequently, they see in the partner the only emotional support. On the contrary, women have one wider social networkvents with friends and family and, for this reason, depend (emotionally) less on their man.
The importance of (other) relationships. According to Mariko Varman, a psychologist not involved in research, the results clearly illustrate how much the gender rules affect the emotional development of men and women. What is important to understand is that we all have to, regardless of our sex, have a network of people who support us and invest in not only romantic relationships, but also of friendship – in order not to remain alone if something goes wrong with our partner.
We must promote a culture in which Men are encouraged to establish lasting friendship relationships They offer them the right emotional support, putting aside once and for all the classic genre rules that inacalfiable and never fragile males would like.
