Our cultural cliche has it that women feel more than men, they hurt more than men, they talk about being hurt more than men, they look hurt more than men. They even have magazines devoted to their feelings, to their relationships, to how they get hurt. Just look at "Cosmopolitan".
But obscured by the stereotyping is a bunch of men with all the same feelings and pain. We've been conned into believing we can or should hide it, but of course we don't and can't. Different social con games may be played on men and women, but our similarities as humans are fundamental and our differences are trivial.
