Young Men More Vulnerable to Relationship Ups and Downs Than Women

SM - ScienceDaily (June 14, 2010) — 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.

In the study of more than 1,000 unmarried young adults between the ages of 18 and 23, Wake Forest Professor of Sociology Robin Simon challenges the long-held assumption that women are more vulnerable to the emotional rollercoaster of relationships. Even though men sometimes try to present a tough face, unhappy romances take a greater emotional toll on men than women, Simon says. They just express their distress differently than women.

Simon's research is published in the June issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior. Anne Barrett, associate professor of sociology at Florida State University, co-authored the article.

"Our paper sheds light on the association between non-marital romantic relationships and emotional well-being among men and women on the threshold of adulthood," Simon says. "Surprisingly, we found young men are more reactive to the quality of ongoing relationships."

That means the harmful stress of a rocky relationship is more closely associated with men's than women's mental health. The researchers also found that men get greater emotional benefits from the positive aspects of an ongoing romantic relationship. This contradicts the stereotypic image of stoic men who are unaffected by what happens in their romantic relationships.

Simon suggests a possible explanation for the findings: For young men, their romantic partners are often their primary source of intimacy -- in contrast to young women who are more likely to have close relationships with family and friends. Strain in a current romantic relationship may also be associated with poor emotional well-being because it threatens young men's identity and feelings of self-worth, she says.

She also explains how men and women express emotional distress in different ways. "Women express emotional distress with depression while men express emotional distress with substance problems," Simon says.

While young men are more affected emotionally by the quality of their current relationships, young women are more emotionally affected by whether they are in a relationship or not, Simon says. So, young women are more likely to experience depression when the relationship ends or benefit more by simply being in a relationship.

For the study, Simon and Barrett analyzed data from a large sample of young adult men and women in south Florida. The survey data was originally gathered for a long-term study of mental health and the transition to adulthood.

Simon says there is much still to learn about these relationships between men and women in early adulthood, so she advocates for more research on this prolonged and varied period in the life course that is characterized by identity exploration, a focus on the self, and forging new relationships.

SM - As a man, you do not just equipped with enough knowledge to understand exactly what women want, when bound in a romantically. However, that does not mean you can not learn to understand it, is not it? Reviews of the following AskMen able to answer what women want from a man.

Women want to talk
The fact that is well known that women like to talk, even talkative. The study even confirms how women were able to use 20 thousand words a day than men who only 7000 words a day. Until now, you are mistaken that with these abilities, women want to wrestle with you in a long conversation. Yet the truth is women want you to listen to what he said.
Women want to hear the feelings of man
Most women say they crave a man who is open with his feelings. Women are welcome the metrosexual male trend, which not only applying face with a moisturizer, but also able to feel the feelings of sensitive women. But, do not open your feelings for this purpose only, and not the style you really are. When she whine wants a man who can express their feelings, they really want a man who can express ideas and opinions. It made her feel closer to your world. It does not mean, she's hoping you could write the words poetic or cry in front of her.

Women want to be the center of your life
You may not be surprised by the attitude of a woman who had just known, as if to arrange your life and do not wish away a second. To be honest, confident woman will not want to be the center of your life. They are more interested in men who have a full life: friends, hobbies, passions, and interests. If you focus your life around it, over time you will not have a life of its own. Make her a star in the story of your life, but do not make her the only star, because she will to be bored if she always under the spotlight.

Women want you to get rid of your women friends
It may be that women like to do something like that because she has a fear that you can not balance life with your friends and with her. However, many are being contrary. She wanted to know how you treat women. If her friends like you, then you will be judged a man who can appreciate women.

Women want to be treated equally
Women "screamed" themselves independent, but when you let it fix the shower drain, or buy flowers for themselves, then you are in trouble. Just because she's capable of taking care of herself, does not mean you are no longer being a gentleman. What women want is equal treatment and you understand, that she can do some things herself, and do not need your help. They want attention and be treated with courtesy, because it made her feel special.

Ganko

SM - NOT difficult to find a delicious dinner places in Kyoto. Restaurants scattered in almost all corners of the city. In the star-rated hotels, restaurants also serve Japanese cuisine is so impressive. However, for me, dinner on the side of the Kamo River (Kamogawa) is the best.

That night, Thursday (10 / 6), we come to the Hospitality Ganko in the heart of the city of Kyoto. As appropriate average of the other buildings in the city area of 827.90 km2, this, too Ganko minimalist design. Not just cooking menu or panoramic Kamogawa edge that makes the foot toward the meal which is always crowded. Big reason is Maiko. Yes, this restaurant is serving traditional Japanese dance performance.

Maiko is a term for young dancers (aged around 15-20 years old). As an adult he called geiko. Here's another interesting side of Kyoto. Only in this place they call the traditional dancers as a geiko. In other regions in Japan, the dancers are called geisha. The song "firefly" from an old tape recorder Maiko accompany movement. Stained face with powder almost no expression and her eyes so sharp. Slowly she followed the harmony accompaniment. Occasionally sitting, standing, rotating body, sometimes brushed strands of her kimono. That feels shrill music finally stopped, just when Maiko sitting. The applause echoed from the diners. Only when it's Maiko original expression. Sweet smile from her lips curved thick dye. As question after question from a visitor rolled a restaurant, he replied kindly. Fukuzusu, Maiko is a graduate of junior high school, eventually accompanied us to dinner that night.

Why choose a Maiko? Was not always a negative stigma attached to the job? Fukuzusu small smile. "Plenty of people think geisha negative connotation. Actually did not like that, "she said. Yamaguchi Prefecture is the home boy explained, Maiko or geiko is a Japanese cultural conservationist. Cap geisha as a mistress officials, he said, happened in the past. Fukuzusu admitted to intentionally take the risk do not continue schooling and become a Maiko. Why? "At first I ever saw the show Maiko. I finally became interested and eventually actually become Maiko, "she said.

Fukuzusu claimed to be a dancer entertainer in restaurants is not the job of rebuke. "This is the cultural heritage of our ancestors," she said. Fukuzusu not excessive. In Kyoto itself, there are currently only 100 people geiko (geisha). Of that total, only 10 people who truly authentic Kyoto. Not easy to be a Maiko. Fukuzusu took nearly a year in the dorms before being allowed to perform in front of people. During a year in a special dormitory, she and her friend are also taught about the life of Maiko. "We should be dancing, singing, also had their culture and traditions," she said. All affairs of life in the dorms is borne entirely by the manager. Later as adults and become geiko, they must get out of the dorm and took her own life.

According to Ayako Shimizu, one of the employees of the restaurant explained, Maiko or geiko who decided to get married, also ended its role as a dancer. "She became an ordinary woman," she said. Fukuzusu smile. Chat flowing seemed so short. Sashimi with wasabi that makes the tongue dance, tempura, bento, and OCHA at the dinner table has been demolished. More late night. A sip of sake to end dinner at the Kamo river beautiful.
