News: Men Are Worse at Dealing With Break-Ups

How do you deal with a break-up? Your gender plays a big part.

A new study from Binghamton Univeristy in New York looked at data from 5,700 people from 96 countries and found that while women were more likely to feel pain and heartbreak after a breakup than men, they recovered much faster.

The data suggested that in many ways, women return to the dating scene stronger, having learned from their mistakes and processed their pain healthily.  On the other hand, men were less likely to experience emotional trauma right after a breakup, but were less likely to completely “get over” their ex.

This got us wondering – what are the most surprising, science-backed differences between men and women? Here are our favorites.
