"Gender and Stress." Gender and Stress. American Psychological Association, 2012. Web. 15 Nov. 2012.

This website had a lot of useful information, although I don’t plan on using all of it I found some of the statistics to be very helpful in proving my point. The website involves many statistics for various stress and emotional stimulants for men and women then compares them to one another. One useful quote I plan on using in my paper is, “Women are more likely to report physical and emotional symptoms of stress than men, such as having had a headache (41 percent vs. 30 percent), having felt as though they could cry (44 percent vs. 15 percent), or having had an upset stomach or indigestion (32 percent vs. 21 percent).”

Roberts, Laura. "Men Suffer More Emotional Pain from Failed Romance, Report Claims."The Telegraph. The Telegraph, 10 June 2010. Web. 15 Nov. 2012.

This article from a newspaper had a lot of great information about various emotions men and women feel after an intimate relationship is over. It had many different experts such as sociologists and psychologists, views on the emotions of men and women when they endure a breakup. I will most likely use a lot of information from this website for my paper. I’m considering incorporating different studies and surveys conducted such as, “It [survey] found that men in their early twenties find breaking up and the highs and lows of romantic relationships more traumatic than women. When a relationship goes wrong it has a greater impact on younger men's identity and self-worth, sociology experts said.”

"Love Hurts More for Young Men Than Women." Fox News. FOX News Network, 10 June 2010. Web. 16 Nov. 2012. 

I found this fox news article to have about the same information as other articles but it did, however give a different study with similar results. This article reports on a study between men and women ages 18 to 20 and the emotional effects of relationships on both. I liked the following statement and may use it in my paper. “The results found that men feel the effects of their relationship’s highs and lows more than women, challenging the commonly held gender stereotypes. Men experienced both greater emotional benefits when they were happy in their romance and greater stress when they were unhappy.”

North, Anna. "Men Get More Emotional About Relationships Than Women." Jezebel. Jezebel, 9 June 2011. Web. 16 Nov. 2012.

This website is interesting to say the least. I really liked the language that was used it was more directed at young adults and it was really easy to relate to and understand exactly what was said. I ended up laughing out loud a few times while reading it. The article summarizes the emotions men and women feel about intimate relationships. It has different sociologists, studies and took a more deductive reasoning approach. I’m thinking about using a few quotes from this website I liked the following quote. “Young men themselves — as well as pop culture in general — often promulgate the idea that women spend all their time talking about their boyfriends, while men never mention their girlfriends to their bros.”
