Women. I would say this because being honest, most men take a lot longer to mature and get their arses into gear and become adults. Men also seem much happier to continue in an unhappy relationship. Women file for divorce more often than men but in my own opinion this is because people were badly matched and had different life plans which weren't discussed.
Women seem to often date guys and as the years go by get disappointed with the sluggishness of the mans maturation. This isn't a case for trying to "change him" as so many complain about, it's usually a case of maturing together... or not as the case may be.
On the flip side, I think a lot of men choose a woman based solely on her willingness to be with him and her looks... you don't need to be a genius to figure out that sort of relationship isn't going to last. Hardly a soul-bonding is it?
Thanks for the MHO
I think men lose interest quicker but I think when women lose interest it's permanent. Ever notice how a guy will show up months later talking about how he misses you, etc. I feel like as a woman i might take longer to lose interest but when its gone, its gone.
Half true
@skykid1992 it's an opinion. There is no right or wrong answer
women do because women are like always wanting to do something about a problem, men are more like... eh who cares... not serious and then go and watch a video game. Women are more like, fix the problem do this and that, or else I'm bored and will leave!
I believe women lose interest faster only because men train themselves to keep interest on the hopes of getting laid. I can't speak for all men of course but most men, myself included, develop a type of "auto pilot", a series of VERY generalized responses, like "oh yeah?" Or "holy crap!", judging simply by the tone we hear, can be accepted in almost any conversation. Men can be looking right at you, with a smile, making gestures, and expressions, but will have no idea or interest what your talking about.
In my experience, it’s mostly girls who lose their interest faster, there are usually the girls who don’t know what they really want or usually at the very first sign of trouble call it quits.
It has been like that for quite a while now, woman think differently in their 30’s as compared to their mid 20’s, given the fact that they have gone through so much trial & error previously.

Women have much shorter attention spans in attraction, and I think this is because they're slower to know what they really want until they're older. In the beginning things might be thrilling for them but they lose interest sooner. Guys usually aren't that feeble like that it.
this is true, but most women gained that knowledge while in a relationship and often times its too late. so they are stuck with a man they didn't want any more and if you have kids its much more complicated. a woman in her 30s knows most what she wants. the majority of men only knows what they want when they have something done that fails the relationship, because he know he could lose everything he has and suddenly he knows. just dumb
@rockcherry86 Notice how you said, "the majority of men only knows what they want when they have done something that fails the relationship". Notice that the onus is always put on the man, that it is usually the woman that gets dissatisfied with the man, that her expectations, whether they are considered high or not, aren't met.
This is why I say men are much more simple creatures. As long as we eat well, have great raunchy sex, aren't constantly nagged to fundamentally change who we are, respected, and have some alone time, we can thrive. We tend to forgive much easier, tend to overlook minor annoyances and don't let them build up to resentment. If our woman makes a mistake, we support them in their growth.
The only time I feel guys are apt to break up with a decent woman is because she changes who she was from when they first met, she becomes overbearing, she is disloyal, or she stops being enthusiastic in the bedroom.
Women, on the other hand, seem to have lofty ideas of what men should be, no matter her thoughts on gender equality. Men need to be the providers, the leaders, constantly striving for improvement, constantly looking to break "bad habits", willing to sacrifice themselves completely for her (if he doesn't, he must not care), think about her even when he isn't asked (if he doesn't, he must not care), always pursuing and courting (if he doesn't, he isn't exciting or attractive enough). *Some* women tend to look at other women's relationships and compare and contrast. "Why doesn't my man make a heart out of Cheerios on the kitchen table and post the picture on Instagram?" Then resentment builds. She is becomes afraid to communicate her wants because she knows these are minor complaints, but as they start to stack up, she gets restless or bitter. Resentment is the attraction killer. She loses respect. Now any "mistake" he makes, it is added to a tally, until that one day she gets fed up.
@scooogy Accept her apologies for what? Her resentment? The examples I gave were in reference to things men do or don't do that causes women to grow resentment and lose attraction.
If she cheats and it was due to the guy not satisfying his woman, then he needs to ask himself quite a few questions. How much is he slacking off in the relationship? Has she communicated well, if not, it is probably best to move on as the chemistry has broken down. Is what she expecting unreasonable? For example, say you like to smoke cigars or vape, and she was fine with that for the first year, but now she is harboring resentment that you haven't tried to quit even though she never mentioned it before. Is it reasonable to quit for her or do you think she should respect you for who you are and what you enjoy?
Sometimes these resentments are away for a guy to weed out a woman who isn't willing to sacrifice for him or who sweats the small shit too much, however, it is a painful process.
Then, if he is willing to take criticism and grow, willing to make the right changes as long as he isn't fundamentally sacrificing who he is (doormat behavior, which is also unattractive), then perhaps he can forgive a cheat. In reality, the guy should probably move on, because it is damn hard to get a woman's attraction back once it has been lost. It is better to find a woman who is compatible and respects you for who you are and isn't seeking to change her man to some unrealistic standard.
Now if the guy is a lazy bum, then he has bigger issues. A woman who sticks it out with this guy and then holds resentment later is probably an even bigger fool that he is.
Guys should constantly strive to better themselves anyways, but women need to understand a man's need for comfort as well. Treat him like a king, he will treat you like a queen, that I can almost promise you, as long as the guy has good values (loyalty, honesty, kindness, etc.)
@freakyzeaky - i totally agree with your 1st comment here. perfectly detailed n true. by your 2nd, i think many women get brainwashed by those idiot movies n tv shows. they have some weird image about men n unnatural expectations toward them. maybe 1% of men could do it.. or maybe a 0,001%
@LunaJ concerning these ideal-thinkers, for years I had thought that there were only two options: If I'm not interested, then I get chased. If I give in and play the game, she won't let me go again. But being left alone didn't seem an option for me. I had to surrender up the attitude of being nice in order to be left alone. Finally. And you won't believe how relieving that is to me now.
@ManOnFire if only I could like replies :D
@ManOnFire - oh man xD the best I've seen here was when a girl asked opinion on her text (thoughts about life). i told her the end of it is stupid. she went nuts that she didn't ask for critic only opinion 😂😂😂
@scooogy - i don't chase guys. if he loses interest, that's his choice. he just simple won't lose interest cos i know what he needs n i really care about his goals n wishes in life. the problem with most of the girls is, that they're focusing only on their needs. what the guy should do for them.
"yeah that as well, but I rather mean when the girl tries a bunch of guys and thus rejected me who wanted to be with her for longer, and after her journey, she'd come back and wanted to be with me "for longer"."
Maybe she is seeing the error of her ways, but I wouldn't say she has to apologize for it. It is really up to you and how it hits your ego. Do you feel like you are now being treated like a second option or the fallback guy? Maybe it was her being immature and it took some mistakes to learn. Most people need to make some mistakes in relationships to grow, but that doesn't mean an inexperienced person (man or woman) can't get it right the first time or in the very least, stick it out even when there is some growing pains.
I would give her a chance but realize that she still may not know what she wants. Casually date her, get to know her, but don't invest yourself too much too soon. See if you guys click well and see if she has better ideas of what a LTR should be.
Ok, so just switch that from women-->men and you would be right on the ball.
@nevermoregirl7 you're right though
u Loses interest in what? Football. Scrapbooking?
This is not a gender-specific issue. It depends on the individual and the subject of their romantic interest.
Scrapbooking 😂😂
Women most likely. More than otherwise, men pursue women.
To put things into perspective: in my long life of 34 years, I've been hit on almost 5 times by women, and particularly catcalled twice (in both cases, I suspect by drunk college girls). I think that's a lot, and astronomically so for a guy like me.
For some women, I wouldn't be surprised if they rack up numbers like that in months, weeks, days, or even hours.
My point is the behavior of both men and women may lead to a difference in the quickness of loss of interest.
In my experience it's been a little bit of both but that's just because of certain incompatibilities, mainly sexual. I find myself not enjoying sex that much if it isn't in the way like it to be and plenty of girls are the same exact way. If a partner doesn't have fetishes or kinks that compliment my own or isn't open-minded then it can get boring fast for me and some nights I might not be that interested. A sexual relationship with a girl who is not kinky, for example, just isn't going to work for me.
Otherwise, I think women might lose interest faster because plenty of women say they're dating a man for his brain or personality. A guy who she deems not so intelligent probably isn't going to stimulate her with conversation, whereas I think plenty of guys are perfectly fine with having a "dumb" girlfriend so long as she is attractive.
Lol before I even clicked I already knew that most votes on women would be by men and most votes on men would be by women. However its still definitely women because: 1. they generaly have much more options simple due to the fact that they are approached and chased much more often. A hot girl will get tons of messages on dating sites and social media than even good looking guys while guys have to approach and/or mesaage first most of the time. And: 2. guys are more into looks than girls so as long as she's pretty and has nice personality on top of that there is very little change a guy will loose interest while a guy can have the same qualities and girl can still loose interest over some trivial stuff.
In Different phases of life romantic interests also changes its original form. Therefore, depending on the situation or the subject of interest or their choices or mutual understanding... Etc many are the factors that effects one's decision.
Now, keep all things in mind I would say "women" loose interest faster because she hav lots of other emotional attachments in her life where she can find a place to balance her emotions ( like... Her parents, siblings, kids.) but a man if committed than more rely on her than to any other relation.
guys seem to do all the chasing in a relationship so when the guys gets the girl it’s like he knows he has her and totally stops making her feel special just normal but you know he likes her, on the other hand though girls tend to lose interest because they like the attention and every other guy wanting her is gonna make her move on faster
Lots of men will say they are looking for a relationship just to get sex, then lose interest once they get it, but they nerver really had any interest to begin with.
In a real relationship that's not about sex, the women usually loses interest when things start to get boring, routine, the same all the time.
Why don't women take initiative in that case, why such dependency on men always to keep the excitement up?
Oh you're asking the wrong girl! I think more women should use that equality they earned to not only ask men out, but pay first dates too!
I'm also not afraid to openly seek out men for just sex just for fun with no strings.
i like the sound of OP here. A woman who actually knows the stuff and doesn't care about standards.
This is why I feel that resentments and poor communication are indicators of incompatibility.
Like if sex is getting too routine, then the communication simply isn't there by one or both partners. Maybe he is too comfortable with vanilla sex, or maybe she has sexual hangups about certain kinky things. Maybe he isn't bringing up his desires for kinky sex because he thinks she won't go for it so he goes unsatisfied and vice versa. Maybe she isn't as assertive or enthusiastic in the bedroom and either expect him to make the all the moves or thinks of sex as a womanly duty and not as a fun team effort?
Most men who are interested in sex aren't interested in just sex with a woman they truly are interested in, but are willing to have sex with a woman they have no plans on pursuing or sacrificing for.

We can say women because she is looking for Mr. Perfect.
It means that if she knows what she want and she get it it's perfect.
For men, I would say it's because of fears and sex.
Not enough sex, not enough good or you think that you can find better at that level.
What it means? Find a good who belive in him and his not an asshole and that think that you are really hot.
With out a doubt women, the biggest reason is they have options. Unless your a player the guy is probably talking to 1 maybe 2 girls when the cute girl is talking to 4 guys with another 5 guys trying to talk to her. It's way easier to lose intreste when you have guys at your disposal.
Also they guy has to do most of the work hit on some more girls and build rapport. All the girl has to do is sit there and look pretty soon enough she'll have some other guy hitting her up
It's part of evolution, men are not supposed to be monogamous, that is why men can impregnate and be done with, scientifically once they have impregnated one they move to another. The idea is every man believes his gene pool is the best to survive and more of him in the world is better for humanity.
The same is with a women, they get attracted to married men with healthy family, the element of risk is less because they know what to expect.
This depends on so many things. I'll say this, for "most" men if the woman meets or even exceeds our sexual desires in amount per week encounters than we don't lose interest. I'm going to leave the woman's answer up to you women. If I didn't stay connected to her on a personal level, she'd have lost interest. (Her being an ex)
In terms of finding a partner, I will say us women swipe left like nobodies business, but at the same time, we have a lot to risk in going for a relationship. Like, i don't know, our bodies that can produce life!
In terms of the relationship itself, I feel a lot of men can lose interest pretty quick. they get bored or nervous that they're losing out on all these women that they suddenly just want to be "just friends".
I don't know if it's just me, but I lose interest pretty quickly. Before a relationship can even start, I already lose interest, especially if I see any 'fatal flaws' in the other person. It's pretty crazy, but I am never emotionally attached most of the time. I can detach myself easily and move on (not that I've ever had a relationship).
It's really hard to pin down someone like me, though I'm not sure if it's the same with other girls.
I won't say women get bored faster just that we may be looking for something long term and we may look at details more, men may be looking for sex so it's easier for them to overlook certain things about a woman unless she indicates she won't give up.
Well I know I Want romance, not a guy who forgets your around, I want to dress up go out feel sexy desired, wear sexy lingerie, heels, makeup, get my hair done, have him notice, and remember why we started dating, remember that desire that 1st attracted him to me, look at me as a woman, not a house keeper, cook, or the nag that ask him to pick up his dirty socks, or to lift the lid before he pees, cause it's really hard to be attracted to guy that's more your kid then your husband.
@bluejay5 I get that, and you wouldn't be the first woman to say that. But there are women with men who ARE treating them special and the women still "get bored" and want to move on. Women focus heavily on how a guy should keep them interested, and still get bored even if he does the things she wants/likes.
I don't want it to be all about me, i want to marry an independent man who could make decisions on his own, guys who let me make all the decisions no arguments what ever I want are boring. Been in that relationship and yes left it cause it was boring, if I ask a guy what he wants to do, be honest and say nothing, I want to go out every now and then, and I don't want to be stuck with a guy who prefers nothing but will do what ever I want. the whole point of dating is getting to know a guy, not to see how well he will conform to what ever I want. And again guys who aren't confident enough or strong enough to be themselves are boring.
For me I tell a woman what I'm into and what I'm not, and she has to accept it. Some guys are just Yes Men with women because they know that when she does ask him what he wants or wants to do and he tells her, she still won't be happy. Because she's not really considerate about him in the first place. Me? I won't stand for that, and when a woman is not rubbing me the right way I cut it off. Women have basically taught men that a relationship is supposed to be about making her happy, so there are men who yield to that.
In my experience, women have more complex needs than men. Which means men are happier and content with much less than what a woman is when it comes to relationship satisfaction.
Women are by far the most evil gender. That is why major religions have correctly identified them as the source of the continuing downfall of humanity, They are able to play the victim role... or the raging bitch role to suit their needs. Men have only the recourse to violence... which of course makes them assholes. Most of Satan's disciples are "sweethearts"... hiding behind softness and feminine deception...
It honestly depends on the individual. I know men who've dumped women for losing interest in sex or love
Women for losing interest in sex or love. I've never really lost interest I just usually have had to move on.
Studies show that women suffer more intense, men longer after a break up. Men usually lose interest in a relationship early or not at all, women late or not at all. 43 percent of men will cheat at least once in their live and 38 eight percent of women will. 80 percent of divorces are initiated by women. Those are the facts I know, make of this what you want.
always the woman. They are looking for free dates, always looking for something better. Always afraid of commitment and relationships. It is sad nowadays.
I think women do. How many women do you know that would be happy with the simple things in life?
www.huffingtonpost.ca/.../
Women lose interest as the wind blows... and most of the time can't even explain why she lost interest in the guy!
Even if a man does lose interest quickly, if asked he can pinpoint exactly why she doesn't interest him anymore.
seems as though as soon as you show a man interest in him he's on to someone else. like its all a game
I would say women because men always put more effort in and therefore take longer to lose interest
Women work through emotional pain immediately and thus move on quicker. Guys try to mask pain too long first. Then deal with pain months later. The only way to heal is by going at it head on and through it. Not around it or denying it.
@Nerdking Me too Nerdking. I am a sensitive man. Part of why I am shy is because I feel society, in general, doesn't accept that trait in a man. I like to share my emotions and I expect my partner to be just as affectionate and to share her feelings too. Some women see that as poor emotional maturity, but I feel it takes bravery to be vulnerable to share your heart and soul. I don't blame women though, they tend to desire a man to be their rock. However, I personally want my other half, the woman who can be a rock for me as much as I can be a rock for her.
The results of the poll are rather telling: each believes that the other gender loses interest faster.
in my opinion it entirely depends on the person.. women in general have more choices so that can be one of the reasons, but men also don't wanna get emotionally close to someone they don't see a future with..
Women, but just due of a very simple statistic factor. Women are much more chased than men, so it is easier for them to appreciate less someone's effort.
It's not like they are being mean or careless, it's just that they are moving on a, correctly, higher standard.
uhmmm all guy maybe right , I also easy get bored when something I found same story not stimulate me for long relationship. for example when online a guy focus just sex chat not any serious things or sense of humor... etc.
I think in reality after the first day of getting to know a person, either gender can determine whether they are really attracted. Losing interest more of an early checkout but forcing the dates to go on
We do because it is part of the male biological imperative - the evolved instinct in male animals to have sex with as many different women as possible because that maximizes genetic diversity which minimizes the probability of species extinction.
Women. We fall faster because we use our emotions. Guys take their time when they fall. They invest more in the long run.
Women aren't loyal , they're only interested. When a guy can't maintain her interest anylonger , there she goes. They don't only loose interest quicker , their interest has been invested elsewhere.
@Prilla. Not true , sorry !! Men and women engage together for two separate reasons to began with. What a man sees as a future with you is contrary to what a woman sees in the man for her own reasons. It's not 50-50 or balanced with any equality. This area isn't equal and never will be. About your experience or theory , usually the woman is the one to compromise with disinterest first. Just how women have nurture ability , men have an ability to forecast their capabilitys in order to provide and maintain our interactions with females. This is a sensitive area where equality will never live.
Women have higher expectations than men. Men are more simple in what makes them satisfied in a relationship. Food, great sex, alone time, loyalty, kindness, respect. That is basically it, with maybe a few nuances. Women, on the other hand, expect men to reach new heights, always courting, always improving, always sacrificing themselves for her. If he slacks off, resentment starts to build. She doesn't want him to get comfortable even though that is what a man desires. As soon as she starts to resent him, it festers. Every little "mistake" he makes then goes on a tally. She grows restless and bitter. She loses attraction and has less sex. The guy notices this because that is one of his only criteria, that she stays enthusiastic in bed, doesn't change who she was from when they first met, respects him for who he is. He gets upset and either sees her as fickle or takes it out on himself in sadness. Heck, most guys are blindsided by their girlfriend suddenly going cold.
Then, after she goes cold, he thinks something is wrong with himself fundamentally. He may lash out in anger. They may fight more. All because she is harboring resentment and not communicating clearly what she wants in the relationship. All because she wasn't willing to take her man how he is and respect him for his positives as well as his negatives.
She ends up having the "grass is greener" mentality within her own relationship, so either she secretly wishes it were greener or she will take a hop over to the next door neighbors yard (figuratively).
Based on my experience I would say: MEN. But I guess women will says men and men will say women (at least the heterosexual majority). Because we have the exact opposite experience. :)
Complimentary perception
men but because most of the time they're the ones to cheat first.
Women are bigger cheats
That's not true. Women tend to lose interest a lot quicker which is why it's usually women who do the dumping.
Women because women have more options when dating and can be very selective since more guy's pursue them.
Many people say men tend to linger more after a breakup, but I don't know. Personally, after I broke up with my high school boyfriend he moved on fast while it took me a few years.
We both lose interest at the same rate but for different reasons.
Men simply get tired of the same vagina.
Women are constantly wanting validation and men to be subservient to her, the second any of that stops she will start looking elsewhere for it.
Don’t think gender affects it as you can see from the poll.
I get bored of girls quickly, but then I know many girls who get bored of guys quickly. It’s completely down to the individual.
It depends on the person. I manage to lose interest in people within a few months, which is really unfortunate.
The answers show that each gender thinks the opposite one loose it faster :P And I don't think it's based on gender, more on person and their personality. Personally, I loose my interest very slowly or don't at all.
Women.
With guys the interest is just there, it doesn't just drop away unless a girl does something significantly jarring.
With women it's like they see some small change and then don't care anymore.
That's why it's often advisable for a woman to keep her boyfriend celibate and frustrated, so he'll never take her for granted.
its a toss up between both. it depends on the situation i think. so really either men or women can lose interest early
It really depends on if there were real romantic feelings there to begin with.. I've been with my wife near 5 years, and honestly I have never lost interest, nor has she.
That's what he said!
Well both can loose interest, but by observation and personal experience, I feel like its men who loose interest the quickest.
I like how the poll is equal, all the men said women and all the women said men. Nobodies going to admit it cause they don't want their sex to seem like they have a bad flaw.
Evolutionary men can impregnate as many women as they want and move on to the next whereas women are forced to care for a baby one at a time and want a man to help them
I don’t think that there’s any correlation between losing romantic interest and gender. Anecdotally speaking, I have seen both cases.
That's entirely dependent on the person in question it's too broad a subject
Women lose romantic interest quicker.
If she has to work really hard to get you, then it loose much slower.
Women obviously because they want to be thrilled and if they don't get then they'll find it somewhere else
I lose intereat easily, but there are some exceptions too.
Woman initially before they start dating then guys later on in the relationship.
Lol. Ofcourse majority of men will say women. And majority of women will say men.😂😂
Def women men tend to bore the hell out of me fast 🤦♀️🤷♀️
Men are usually simpler creatures. It is much easier to keep a man satisfied.
Men do because they can probably get another girl who will do the same stuff for them as the previous girl
😍 wow. How could any man lose interest in a beautiful girl like you?
Obviously guys can't actually do that.
Cough cough cock blocker
@Winchester_tiger What a sad pathetic man
Depends on the person... and boredom/feeling lonely/desperate/etc. ^^; I was thinking of trying dating online but... it seemed wrong to me or something so, I didn't.
The one who cares less about the person. In the other words if He or She really don't desire you they will lose interest the same regardless of gender.
I think this one is a draw as I feel it is more down to the individual than the gender.
Most definetly, great responce!
