True or false? Guys are so tough, independent, and smart, they can solve all problems that come their way with a snap of their fingers and without anyone's help! Come to think of it, your kuya, boyfriend, and guy buds never seem to worry about anything apart from catching the next basketball game or acquiring the latest gadgets. Just why is it that their lives are so anxiety-free?

Well, Candy girl, keep in mind that no one sails through life without having to weather rainstorms every now and then. The truth is, guys are not invincible, and their lives are definitely not problem-free. They just don't handle the little mishaps life throws their way in the same way girls do. A guy doesn't call up his pals immediately to discuss his predicament in detail. He doesn't go to the mall and try to console himself over an impromptu shopping spree with his barkada. Neither is it true that a guy prefers to deal with a problem alone. Most boys we've asked have shared that they would welcome help if it is offered... (although they admit to having difficulty opening up or clamming up if prodded).
