How do men deal with broken hearts?

People tend to think men are all these non feeling robots.  But men get hurt too.  Having been a shoulder to lean on to more than one of my guy friends as they went through bitter break ups, let me tell you how they deal.  Some things won't surprise you, some will.

1.  They sleep away their pain.
 
I don't mean taking naps.  I mean they sleep with a bunch of chicks to wash the pain away.  Does it work? Not necessarily.  It just helps them numb the feelings.  Be sure those feelings will pop back up until they actually deal with the root cause.  I actually witnessed this happen with a guy who started out very wholesome.  A goody-two-shoes, some would say.  A break up can take someone completely out of their own values.

2.  They gain weight.

Most of my homeboys are pretty physically fit, but I have seen some go from less than 8% body fat to big and chonky.  So yeah, some dudes are emotional eaters too.  They probably don't even notice it themselves, until that one day their size 34s don't fit and turn into 43s...

3.  They lose weight.

Some dudes just get lost after they have put their all into a woman.  They stop doing everything.  Stop bathing, stop eating.  They go from sugar to sugar honey ice tea. It's a shame.  But love can do a number on a man who isn't used to letting out his emotions.

4.  They get angry/violent.

From random fights with unsuspecting strangers to punching holes in walls.  A number of dudes just kirk slam out and get physical.  Probably has something to do with guys only showing limited emotions. 

5.  They cry.

Seriously.  I remember holding up a less than sober over 220 lb guy pal as he snotted on my shoulder.  Not a pretty sight! (Seeing as I'm always sober, I tended to end up in this situation often with non-sober friends LOL)...yeah it typically involves them getting drunk to have something to blame the tears on.



So guys, what are some ways you deal when you go through break ups?
