My husband just got frustrated with his tablet and threw it in the garbage can. Why do men do this? Good new I the tablet out of the garbage can after he went to bed and it still works. :)
-
Not all men do that! Maybe throwing gets "it" out of his system. Don't throw so I don't know! I do have a heavy bag a mean back kick and a heavy palm hand. That is a lot cheaper too, lol! ;D
-
Because some men are babies that enjoys the attention they get from throwing tantrums! ;)
-
Because they don't have the self control that women do. LOL

just a way to show anger most of us try to keep things inside and sometimes we must vent.

It must just be the way some people cope. Sounds destructive to me. I can remember being a teenager and getting really made and frustrated a couple of times. I'd have a tantrum and make a mess or break something from throwing it or pushing it off my dresser...than after I'd cool down I'd look at the mess and think to myself, "now I gotta clean that up." After a couple of times of doing that I learned it didn't get me anywhere or fix anything so I should release my frustrations some other way. I've never been with a "thrower" for a spouse before. Good thing too cause I think it would intimidate me.

Throwing things out of frustration is not something that every man does. I am a man, and I don't do it.

I don't easily get frustrated, and if I ever get to my breaking point, I get out and walk it or run it off. The maddest I've gotten over something, was while playing video games with either computer or console, and when I kept getting killed, or not reaching my objective, either my own fault or the game, I'd smack the controller or something, but I never went as far as to throw it, or break it. I haven't gotten to a point where I feel the urge to throw things, and I don't really know if I have it in my to do so, if the opportunity arises.
Everybody is different, and I don't think most men do it. Coincidentally, in my whole life, I've witnessed more women throwing things (usually at men), than men. ::)

because were men. its our given right to break stuff because were strong. its what we do. girls show cleavage we break things. would you rather us show testicales?
-
None of the men in my life throw things. My brother did when he was a teenager, but then he matured and stopped having tantrums like that.
-
Hey where do you stay so I can go dig it out lol?I dont know why men do that. My husband drinks when he gets mad. Both habits are bad.

I use to work in a large dept. store and my job was to take care ofirate customers. Most of the time i could solve the problem, but sometimes they were so into being mad they wouldn't listen. I had an old box in the back and would excuse my self for a minute on the pretext of looking something up for them and go back and give the box a couple of kicks. It would also give them a little time to hopefully calm down. It helped me anyway.

What're you, 12 years old or less?

Because it macho!!! You know the male ego has to kick in, Until you remind them later,lol!!!!

My hubby doesn't throw things. He likes to work out or go for a hike when he's mad. I like to take it out on the punching bag. :thumbsup:
-
Women can and do throw immature tantrums and various objects too. I've seen an emotionally-charged female friend throw a diamond engagement ring into a river. That sure taught her ex-fiance a lesson alright.

THINK BEFORE YOU DO THING

WHO KNOWS WHAT U CAN DO

I don't see throwing things out anger a gender specific habit. I don't normally get angry enough to throw things, but sometimes I feel tempted. A friend of mine likes to re-tell his story of a former girlfriend throwing things athim. Of course he was also caught cheating at the time.
-
I.m not sure, but I think it has something to do with ego and Testoserone.

If that's the case, then there are several egotistical women filled with testosterone, (or, estrogen), throwing tantrums & various objects around too.

Throwing something or hitting something when you're frustrated or angry is an emotional release. If you throw a ball, hit a pillow or some other non-destructive thing it's healthy. :thumbsup: Throwing or breaking something you have to replace is just wasteful. :angry7:
My brother is older and technology frustrates him. He has expressed the desire to throw his laptop at the wall when he was frustrated, but he did not do it. :male:
In sitcoms, especially old ones, it was the women who threw things at their husbands when mad, usually it was dishes. :female:

This is probably way overthinking this, but oh well.
I've hung out with a lot of guys do to the field I chose to go into. Between that and just normal people watching, I've noticed that some men (not all) tend to jump to anger quicker than any other emotion. My belief is it's because they are told at a young age that they can't cry or get upset at things, that they have to bottle up emotions cause they are a female thing. However, anger is a perfectly acceptable emotion for men.
The saying "boys will be boys" is generally uttered whenever a boy starts destroying things or throwing them. They might be told to calm down, but I've rarely seen a boy told outright to stop that. So, some men have grown up all their lives being told it's perfectly fine being angry at things and that throwing them is acceptable as well. Girls are generally told to take care of things (dolls, siblings, etc) so they generally don't destroy things, but there are always exceptions.
Whenever anyone is angry, we all have to make a decision to do something about it. Some people lash out at whatever made them angry and other channel it possibly towards a punching bag or going for a run. It all depends on what you do with your anger.

Alot of "men" have a huge self-esteem problem, so they like to slam things, throw things, raise their voice as a self-defense mechanism that they're scared. It's the same reason why guys like to drive big cars that are loud, they don't know it, but they're insecure and they need to project that they're tough. They will also deny all of this as a defense mechanism, sad but true.
-
I think a man was always told not to show their emotions, so when they let things build up it will come out as frustration. Frustration for a man, they have to do something like throw items to let it out. Frustration for a woman, we need to talk or scream to let it out.
-
I think walking, jogging or even kicking a box is a great alternative to throwing or breaking things. My son in law is an avid sports fan and he has broken remotes, snack trays and even his cellphone when he became upset over a play. My daughter finally refused to replace anything he broke, he soon stopped throwing things.
