Why do men throw thing when the get frustrated with it

[falcon9]

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.

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

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.  Throwing or breaking something you have to replace is just wasteful. 

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. 

In sitcoms, especially old ones, it was the women who threw things at their husbands when mad, usually it was dishes.

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.
