Do women get more sympathy in life than men when they fail?

Yeah, I beleive so, because people consider women more emotional, therefor more sympathy. Although it shouldn't be that way.  It is.

depends which society u're talking about...different cultures rear their men differently....but generally women tend to be more emotional and feelings-based than men.

women have more heart than men. they are soft, caring and god loving. not like men , we are tough, cruel, more practical and strict. That's why men are great leaders than women. a good example is queen Cleopatra of Egypt, who fell in love with Marcus Aurelius of Rome.

No worries . . . a guy dies sooner than a woman anyways . . . because women drive men to death . . . lol

Actually women are more complex because they are more empathic.  They instinctively care about others and also care about how others think about them.  This kind of thinking allows the female to bond better with peers.  Men can simply block out this kind of thinking and turn it on and off at will.   I am not sure this is a positive traite or a negative one but its how we are.

the tendancy to hurt others is higher in males than in females, so yes.

Very poetic, but a true dismal failure is what you are aiming for in life...\n\nI believe that you need counceling so that you will not have a pessimistic view at life. \n\nFind your strenghts and work to build them up, and locate your weaknesses and work on them to help you understand why you have a desire to "fail"!!\n\nUntil you can set yourself 'free', you will always feel "dumped on" and moody.  But if you get the right woman, who will love you, then it will bolster your spirits up, and help you a lot.  \n\nI wish you well...\n\nJesse

Sometimes yes and sometimes no. If women were a little more clear about their feelings, men would understand them better and it would make everyone's life a little easier. And sometimes men are just jerks.

Sometimes women like to get people to care about them. If you actually do things for them, they really appreciate it. If they don't you will have to let them know how you feel about it. You might say that men needs care too but women are more fragile in the sense that they're not as mature as some men even if I say so myself. Women is just hard to understand so you have to take time to get to know them better. That's just life.

It is not true that women go through more health problems than men do. The truth is that they are more sensible in some sectors and less in other.\nTake as an example heart diseases. \nThe incidence of heart diseases is less frequent in women than in men, because they have the estrogens (a kind of hormones)that are protecting them.\nAnother example could be smoking and lung diseases.\nWomen are more vulnerable at this point, because of their anatomic caracteristics : their lungs are smaller, so the same amount of smoke inhaled by a man or by a woman, will be more harmful for a woman.\nAnd so on.\nThe only difference is that they are more sensible, so the way that they perceive things can make them more vulnerable and this could influence potentially their health status.\nSo, use YAHOO! Q&A as I do! It is relaxing and instructive.\n\nKaterina

personally. women of yesterday are greater than us now. they had more strict standards to live by and they probably had a lot more pressure and expectations from men.

I think both sexes suffer the same amount of hard stuff in life because men are suppose to be the providers and fighters, whereas women are suppose to be the nurturers and the makers of life. However, modern society has allowed role-genders to change. More women are in the work force and some men are replacing the "house wife". With these changes, it is still allowing both sexes to feel as if they are suffering some hard times and stuggles.

bcos u guys may be strong from the outside but are weak from the inside ie strong physically but weak mentally. we women may be weak physically but mentally we are very strong. we can take much more pain and suffering and we can undertand better due to that. u need someone to be beside u not only when ur happy but even in pain. thats y a women is so important cos they fulfill every need and want of a man

friend i think u had got some bitter experience in life. but still u didn`t learn something out of it. remember bad experiences are really god`s gift to make our future better. better analyze what has happened and discover your lesson from it. i`m damp sure that your statement is absolutely wrong. both men and women are human at times they may make some mistakes but that doesn`t mean they are mean(inferier). good luck for ur future. in future think twice before u speak

Men do not always blame women. People with drinking or drug habits blame it upon anyone close to them so they have an excuse to consume. or a reason to be unhappy or stressed or angry n they need a drink or whatever.. But what they really need is help

Obviously there are exceptions, but generally yes.\n\nWomen are far more likely to seek out the "Bigger-Better Deal" than men.  Men are more likely to "Yep, that'll do."

Dude , I so agree, it is like women are seen as pure and lady like for waiting, but if a dude does that shit he is a loser, I wasted my first on some broad I barley knew because of my friends, but I really don't regret it, after I made up for the loss. I guess some woman believe in good moral and all, just wait till they get to college, thing change.\n\nDude, I would hate to have a daughter, because I would probaly be an overprotective paranoid father.
