Because we guys don't get so emotionally invested into a relationship as you girls do, most of us anyways. And secondly, we really don't like to talk about our feelings all the time like you ladies do. It leaves us feeling vulnerable and weak.

It is a mix of biological and cultural influences. Society still maintains a huge double standard regarding sex and romance. Much of it is marketing. One of my favorite TV lines came from the AMC series Mad Men and went something like "Everything you've been told about love is fiction. It was made up by guys like me to sell nylons and perfume. "

A great deal is also biological and instinctual. Male mammals have an urge to spread their seed. Females have babies and therefore have a desire to nest. Current research using MRIs show that male and female brains react differently to "love" stimulus.

Because women are from Mars and men are from Venus?

Technically it's not it's just that women are more strait forward with their thoughts where as men (how most of you guys out there see it I'm sure) have to try and keep that macho image of themselves up for a reason unbeknown to me lol but if you can get a guy by himself and he truly loves you, you will finally see the true side of him, we may deny it but you always will, some guys (like me) are pretty straightforward and we're ourselves no matter what. Women they fall in and out of it easier than men do, women are more likely to cheat than men are but less likely to get caught at it. Men if we truly love you then that's what we mean we rarely change at all and will always love more than women will,now not to sound sexist I'm sure there are plenty of women out there that are that same way and would never cheat even if their lives depended on it. But love just really depends on the kind of person, some people just use it and throw it about others use it only when they mean it. Hope this helps

Like so many things, Love all depends on the perception of who is examining it.

I may love you, simply for the wording of your question, though I have never met you. Love can be exceptionally easy to come by, and some people may never feel that they truly love. It can be as easy as writing your name, or as hard as Physics VI at college to fall into love. So for every person, it is different.

I don't know if I would draw the line down the genders necessarily, but there may be a pattern, and it is going to sound sexist of me to elaborate on that pattern, but here goes.

Females, traditionally the "Mother" are the reason for the survival of our race. However, they tend to fall into love more easily than men.

Men exist to make babies, not raise them or teach them how to do well. Men do not love easily because the world around them is harder than the "family environment" of the female.

I hope this helps. The key is that the line can't always be drawn down the gender partition.

Please always remember that women are by nature emotional creatures and Men are not. We were built to handle things with our hearts and with our feelings, that's what makes us women.
Men, whether it be genetic, taught, or otherwise, don't deal with their emotions like we do.

Don't take it personal. Men do eventually catch up with women when it comes to love, you just have to be VERY patient with them.

I believe in a lot of cases women think with their hearts and men think with their heads. Women tend to invest a lot more into a relationship then men do and that is why it seems that they don't hurt after a breakup and women are heartbroken, at least with my experience I have found it that way. This is not to say that men don't hurt because they do, but they were raised to hide it a lot better to protect their pride. There are exceptions to every case but this is just a generalized theory. It's like the old ways of women are designed to nest, and men are designed to hunt.

Do women like gender bias when it works in their favor?

Yes, treat us equal in every way, even if it causes us problems

No, we should get equality when we want it, but preferential treatment other times.
