WOW is that sappy, I'd give my son's a snack on the back of the head and tell them to man up.
Then I'd play "Walk like a man " by the Four seasons for them and tell them no better words have been said about heartbreak. We have all gone through it. IMHO

Yeah, I think being a grown man whose hormones no longer rage it's a reasonable reaction especially as advice to give someone else besides yourself. To me it was just a reminder of being young, dumb and a little too eager. I think most boys/young men have had that one they yearned for that stomped on their heart like a roach without even realizing it.

“Reputation is an idle and most false imposition, oft got without merit and lost without deserving. You have lost no reputation at all unless you repute yourself such a loser.”
― William Shakespeare, Othello

Or you can be cruel like me and my boys were back then and play "She's gone " by Hall and Oates over and over until they cry like little girls, we were friends, but still gave each other the business whenever we could.

You "strike" me as more of a Henry Townsend kind of guy:

It's all fun and games 'till someone loses an eye, then it's just fun you can't see.
