I agree. I am only depicting what I feel society believes about gender stereotypes. This isn't what I personally feel. When a guy has only just become single a lot of women assume he'll go on the rebound and look for sex, I mean from speaking to other women I know this is generalky what they seem to think. I don't think it can be applied to everyone! We are all completely different. Every situation, how we handle it and how strongly one person felt in comparison to the other all come into play.
Gender stereotypes are the tool for socially inept sexist people to attempt to overcome their lack of social awareness. Obviously, they fail at this miserably.
Well ok then, ye sure.. There's an element of truth in there though. Each gender is different, maybe not in this case, it's more down to the individual and the situation. I'm not a feminist or anything! I was just trying to get insight into how guys feel when they've had their heart broken and if it's anything like what I've felt. Or even if girls feel the same way I do.
But I never said that... this is a point of view I've posted on here! Doesn't mean it's mine or that it's true. I wanted people's opinions and experiences. I've heard guys say they're better at sports than woman and that they belong in the kitchen. So is that true cause women don't have a penis?
yah. women get hit right away and get over it and move on.
it hits men after a week and he takes longer to move on.

Generally yes and your picture describes it but it depends on who was the heart broken. The heartbroken usually gets hurt more. People, no matter their gender, react differently to breakups.
Oh definitely haha, I think it's more to demonstrate that as more time passes a girl starts to pick herself where as a guy starts to feel the impact of the break up. I'm not saying that the picture reflects real life but that's what it seems to be saying. I've been single for 4 months and I still feel pretty crappy from time to time.
Ah ok, interesting! I'm not saying this is true by the way, this just seems to be how society portrays it to be. I don't know cause I'm not a man haha. But I know that I haven't felt like the woman at all! It's been an emotional roller coaster all the way through my break up.
the society is stupid. hey by the way i wanna ask you one thing that i wanted to ask since a lot of days. did you picked your username by playing that game "life is strange" ?
oh haha, i played the whole game, its a good game, you should play the whole game, it has 2 endings. and that game gonna have its own action series coming in few years :)
I don't know about this. I played with my exs emotions pretty hard and got into her head. I was over the break up similar to what the woman stereotype is.

After a breakup, I move on immediately. I put the past behind me and move on. If a relationship is not meant to be, I don't worry. Lots of women out there.
i will speak for me - im not even able to get past phase 1 - regret it and feel pain about it. wtf

Women usually deal with break up by doing crazy shit like fucking a bunch of guys, heavy partying and drugs. All encourage by their girlfriend to help them get over their ex.
Hahaha, really? Wow! Is that from experience of an ex who's done that? I've been out more than my ex but I don't do drugs and haven't slept with anyone since, where as my ex did drugs before anyways and has been trying to get sex.
Replace the first two male pictures with the third one and you'll have me after my last break up. My ex moved on to dating someone in less than 4 days, she never went through any grief period.
The way you view it, to me it seems like guys just need to come over a breakup a bit longer, so they just start to "miss" everything they did with her, it's no hormone thing in his case.

Lol.
It depends on both the people involved, and how dissatisfied each of them were with the relationship for what reason.
Linking it to physical sex is just shortsighted.
I agree.

Believing that guys act a certain way because they have a penis is the root cause of all sexism

Saying a woman belongs in the kitchen because she doesn't have a penis is also sexist lol
That's not what I said. It's what my ex used to tell me...
I think this is pretty a astute observation. In my experience anyway.
Of course
i always see a break up as a form of grief and everyone deals with grief in their own unique manner
I am still devastated, 4 years on from my marriage split

I feel relief immediately afterwards and horrible crippling feelings years later.

Honestly, it would take wayyy longer than a month for me to get over a breakup.

I have read this in a psychology forum too that dealt with the facts about divorce. I think it is generally true!
Nah that's just a stereotype. Everyone has their own way of moving on, depending on how the relationship and breakup went *meep meep*
I don't know about guys but for myself it's pretty spot on. It's agony in the beginning but with time, I heal and move on
Initial phases may be different, but Ultimately both of them will get over & lead their lives happily
i dont agree with this. when i was dealing with my breakup i was dealing like the woman is dealing in the picture you mentioned

Haha yes I agree with that!
Yes I did haha, still haven't finished it either! I keep meaning to go back to it but end up waching a movie instead 😛
oh haha, i played the whole game, its a good game, you should play the whole game, it has 2 endings. and that game gonna have its own action series coming in few years :)
That's so cool! Hopefully I'll get around to playing it again soon 😄 well better make sure I complete it before then haha.
hmm, yeah hahaha :D

I disagree. In a breakup the first few days are toughest. Get past that and you are fine.

Yeah it's pretty common for girls to go and fuck a bunch of guys post break up to forget about their Ex
