A Broken Heart Really Does Hurt, Scientists Claim
Death Metal writes "Psychologists at the University of California, Los Angeles say the human body has a gene that connects physical pain sensitivity with social pain sensitivity. The findings back the common theory that rejection 'hurts' by showing that a gene regulating the body's most potent painkillers — mu-opioids — is involved in socially painful experiences too."
"Individuals with the rare form of the pain gene, who were shown in previous work to be more sensitive to physical pain"
Isolate and manipulate.

Finally, parents can know ahead of time if their kids are destined to grow up into whiny little John Hughes emo assholes, and vacuum the little bitch out before they have to end up paying for 20 years worth of Hot Topic clothes.
Up next, the Goth gene!

you're just trying to distract yourself from thinking about her.. i know the feeling :/
Some of us actually don't really go for the meaningless sex all that much.. i've given it a go, but i'd much rather actually feel something for the person i'm giving it to..
No offense dude, but im pretty sure god is trying to kill you
Considering he once downed the entire world, I'd say he's no longer on top of his game.
An SQL query goes to a bar, walks up to a table and asks, "Mind if I join you?"
Irony - A year later I saw her on campus and she wanted to know why I stopped calling. She claimed I had hurt her. As if rejecting me four times didn't hurt. (rolls eyes). A typical, socially-inept, clueless female nerd.
That's not irony, that's an attention whore. Once you stop doting on them they'll come to you and try to get your hopes back up.

That's nothing...
I've had my intestines removed and used as a personal restraining device. All of my toes and fingers removed and subsequently re-attached to one hand. Said hand was than forcefully punched into my own face with some guy shouting, "Stop hitting yourself" over and over. After that was over I had my abdomen sliced open by a light saber and some Jedi Knight used my womb to shelter from the cold for hours.
A broken heart? I really do miss that Jedi

Really? Well I know just such a woman. She married a guy, then she divorced him because she was flirting with guy #2. Then she married guy #2, but meanwhile she was flirting with guy #3, so divorced guy #2 about five years later. She married guy #3, but was flirting with guy #4, and then divorced guy #3.
Three men. NONE of them were pussies, but she still managed to hurt all three of them with her actions, because she doesn't care about other person's feelings.
