I can't speak to the whole suicide thing, but the theory I have is that women deal with breakups better because they can get attention without trying. Its tough for a man to get rejected by someone close to them and then go risk it again with a stranger. Women however can go out and have someone flirt with them just for being there. It might not lead to love or sex, but it reminds them that they have options. You don’t see the guys who get all the girls moping over a breakup very long, and women without a ton of options take breakups as bad as anyone.
In my case I like to blame the booze and the hope that the relationship wasn't over yet. Once I was sober for a few days I realized how idiotic I was being.
