Tim Hawkins’ Take on Pain Reactions Is So True It Hurts (and It’s Hilarious)

Tim Hawkins’ take on pain reactions is so true it hurts, and it’s pretty hilarious, too. The popular comedian has made an interesting observation about how men and women respond to painful situations, noting that their responses are dramatically different. Watch the short but hysterical clip to listen to Tim explain and demonstrate the differences in how men and women react to pain differently.

Can you think of anyone you know who enjoys pain? I’m going to go out on a limb and say that you don’t, and if you do, that might be someone to avoid. No, we don’t like pain; it hurts, and that’s never fun or a good time because it hurts. Pain is something humans want to avoid at all costs.

Nevertheless, pain – physical and emotional – does happen despite our best efforts to avoid it altogether. While we never want to experience pain, it’s something we should become accustomed to because life will inevitably present us with painful situations and circumstances.

However, while pain is universal, the way people respond to it varies. In a clip posted on YouTube, Tim hysterically points out how pain reactions differ in terms of gender. For the most part, he is spot on with his assessment of how men and women react when they experience physical pain.

“I love how men and women react differently to pain,” Tim said. “You ever notice that men and women react differently to pain? Like when men get hurt, some reason we skip. I don’t know why. Men, when we get hurt, we skip.”

Later in the clip, he adds (and acts out) how women act when they encounter physical pain.

“But women, when you get hurt, you fall down,” he said.

Before the video comes to an end, he mimics a woman falling, and then, when she’s on the ground, hurting, she pulls out her phone and captures the moment by taking a selfie.

Romans 8:18 “I am of the opinion that there is no comparison between the pain of this present time and the glory which we will see in the future.”
