Do Men or Women Hold Grudges Longer

You probably don't need to read this article because you probably already know the answer.

Researchers at Harvard conducted a study and found that women hold grudges and remain mad longer than men do.

The team from Harvard watched videos of male and female athletes from all over the world competing in sports like tennis and boxing. They watched to see how men and women interacted with their opponents after the contest was over.

The findings show that men were way friendlier with each other afterwards, and they were more likely to embrace their opponent with "peaceful" contact like a handshake or a hug.

So why do women hold a grudge?

The researchers theorize that it could be evolutionary. Way, way back in the day men would have to go out and hunt and work with other men to provide for their family so it would be in their best interest to drop any beefs and just get along. However, women stayed closed to home with the job of defending their family so naturally they would want to keep their guard up.
