Do men really care less and move on faster in relationships?

Question

choco-latte · Answer

From what I noticed, once a girl gets into a new relationship and moves she really doesn’t look back and completely forgets her ex. Usually she can think back to her past without even feeling sad by it anymore. By this I mean from normal breakups, not a scenario where her partner dies. But men often still hold some kind of painful feelings about their past relationships even if they have moved on. It doesn’t necessarily mean they still love their ex (again, from a break-up) - most of the time they don’t, but it does mean that the relationship left an impact on their lives. I feel this kind of sentiment is more common among men than women.

I think it's important to recognize all men and all women don't share one level of feelings that can easily be generalized in such a way.

I can't believe the amount of questions on here that are basically asking if a blanket statement can so easily be true as if there is no individual differences to account for.

For 99% of things not all men or women think the same, behave the same, or react the same to any situation. When we start actually think all men are... or all women are... or all of democrats... or all of Republicans... all white people... all black people.. are the same... We really have lost the ability to critically think with nuance.

All I can go by is that my late boyfriend never stopped loving and missing his wife who died after 24 years of marriage.

Even though he and I met 10 years after she died, I always felt that his heart was hers.

She was only 47 when she got sick and passed away in his arms.

There are some, both guys and girls, who have a new boyfriend/girlfriend the next week after breaking up. Others take a long time.

Usually women have lined up the next man before they end a relationship. Most likely they have test driven him as well.

AviatorTom · Answer

That's possible. Women tend to have more emotional involvement in a relationship than men do.

That could go back to basic biology. Men can produce billions of sperm anytime they want (always fertile), while women only have a few days each month to be fertile. Since each human has an innate goal to reproduce and continue the species, women are more picky in choosing a mate than men are, who can play the probability game.

Not all men but most men do because they're either angry of the breakup or they want to be jackasses and show the person they broke up with it doesn't matter cuz they can get anybody is what they think but they end up losing in the long run

Nikki1989 · Answer

Yes, that is usually the case. Most men will jump into bed with just about anyone.

You can care deeply and move on fairly quick. It comes down to accepting what has happened and striving to keep moving forward.

Nah, it's not a gender thing it's a personality thing combined with opportunity.

Depends on the dude, but we boys' testosterone makes us hunger for another relationship sooner than most lasses, who tend to mourn their lost partner longer.

No, when I love a woman I could never move on after a death or after a break up.

Do men really care less and move on faster in relationships?

What Girls & Guys Said

Are men even capable of loving nearly as much as women. Why don't men care about anything and move on so quick?
