Girl to girl vs guy to guy during emotionally testing times...
Is it true that girls are generally more supportive of other girl friends when they encounter emotional difficulties then guys with other guys? I mean say a girl were to break down in tears over something her girl friend might give her a shoulder to cry on & say a lot of kind words but with guys I'd say that they will be more inclined to think of their friend as "weak" & tell him to "man up" etc.
I did recently help a guy friend get over a girl he was infatuated with but we are both not one of them "loud macho guys" so to speak. Basically I think the male & female psyche is different in these type of situations. Girls are more likely to speak up if have some problems mentally than guys.

*leans forward* Is that Dev Patel?
Anyway lol
Ugh at bold. I don't do that. It doesn't make me less woman either. I can't believe this is a question in 2015. Men console and morally support their friends. Women don't always. Then there is vice versa. If I have a friend who is sobbing I just look at her like
. I'm a tough love kind of person. If I do physically console you it's to manipulate you. Said it. Now sue me. 
The only person I physically console is my little sister and an S.O.
Males are socialised into wanting to repress their emotions and not discuss "emotional subjects" with their peers. Females not so much. I don't think it's an innate part of the male/female psychology by any means.
It ****ed me up though and that's why now I'm just brutally honest about anything I think. If I think you're an ******** and want to punch you in the face I will tell you. If I feel like hiding in a corner and crying to myself for 2hours because of how great a failure I am, I will tell you. Assuming there is an incentive to tell "one" in the first place... Obviously I dont seek out people I dislike to tell them I dislike them and so on.
