Oh dear, I don't think I wanted to know that, not at this particular
time anyway. :)

I'm afraid I've only been skimming the papers the last few days so I
don't remember all the details, but I got the impression it was quite
a small survey so it may not be globally accurate.

Personally I think I'm the other way round, I can remember physical
pain more than I can remember what people have said about me.

And just to be mysogynist, that's not necessarily because I'm a man.
There was another report a couple of weeks or so ago where
researchers, expecting to find women have a higher pain threshhold
than men because they have to endure childbirth, actually found the
opposite to be true. Women succumb to headaches and migraines where
men tend to soldier on.
