How do you quantify love? It's a feeling, and as far as I'm concerned you can't quantify feelings.
Then there's the fact that every single human on this earth is an individual. And although many share lots of different similarities, every human on this earth is unique in some way. So you can't divide humans into "men" and "women" and then expect that you can generalize what they think and feel based on what they have between their legs. That's not how humans work. We're all individuals and we don't behave a certain way JUST because of what we have between our legs. Not to mention that gender = identity. Sex and gender are not interchangeable terms. But I'm assuming for the sake of this question that you meant sex, and not gender.
How deep someone falls in love entirely depends on them as an individual. For some people it's hard, for others it's easy. Some people never fall in love, and some people fall in love several times during their lifetime.
What they feel is only the truth of the individual. The individual will never be able to fully express or explain how *much* they feel, because feelings are not tangible. You can't quantify feelings no matter how hard you try to express them through actions and words. At the end of the day only the individual person knows exactly what they feel and how intense it is.
Therefore this is a pointless question that's impossible to answer because
1) you can't quantify feelings,
2) it's not just about "men" and "women" because there are a million other factors at play, and
3) pitting women and men against each other like this is not helpful, it's not useful, and it'll only piss people off.

Men are more likely to vote for men, and women are more likely to vote for women, because we only know our own truth about our own feelings. Every individual is more likely to feel as though they feel more, because they only know what they themselves feel. We will never be able to feel what others feel. Thus, we are more likely to vote for ourselves.

I fall for a guy really fast, but I get over it pretty quickly. I mean, I might be bitter about things or still cry about things for a bit, but it's honestly superficial. I've never been with a guy long enough to truly know what love feels like (at least in a relationship). I think in order to fall for someone in a deep manner, you have to be thinking about the future with them. When I enter a relationship I hardly ever think about the long term. I just look at the present and what's in the now.

I would definitely say a guy falls deeper in love though. Guys are taught to not show their emotions as much as girls, so while girls get to fall in love and get heartbroken and cry all they want, guys have to remain silent about it. I feel like to avoid all that, they don't wear their heart on their sleeves like girls do, so it's hard for them to fall for someone superficially. So, when they actually do fall for someone, it's hurts like hell when things go south.

Guys.

Girls fall faster and more frequently. Guys fall on rarer occasions but when they do... it's deeper than women typically. I love my fiance more than anything in the world but you can just tell he loves me more (even though I'll deny it to my dying day we all know it's true). That doesn't mean I don't love him completely. That just means that his completely is deeper and more vast than my completely.

This is obviously attributed to his being 6'5 and having more physical space with which to store his love :p Obviously.

I very much believe in love. However, how deep you are in love is not something that can be measured with a yardstick so how do you make such comparisons? And. . . some guys fall deeply in love and some have shallow relationships; the same can be said for women. Attempting to make such generalizations is not helpful.

All I can speak for is myself and what is in my heart. I love my girlfriend and I would sacrifice my life to save her life.

Men. Because we are idiots. Women can fall in love and still think straight. But when a man falls in love, he becomes retarded.

gigi5678 · Answer

You can't specify based on gender, it really depends on the people. For example, if a guy loves emotional connection and trusts people easily, he might fall in love more easily. If a girl is the same way the same can be said for her. If a guy is closed off and hard to really know on a deeper level, they might have a harder time falling in love or getting someone to call in love with them. Again, the same thing goes for a girl. In answer to the question about whether or not I still believe in love, I would have to say it depends on the scenario and the person or people involved. Obviously yes I think love is still present in 2017 but if that affects me I'm not sure. Based on my experiences that have left me with that negative impression of love other than family love, I have to say I don't believe in it as much as another girl my age would. Yes I still believe that one day I will be head over heels in love but I don't think that day will be anytime soon.

hrlalal · Answer

i don't think one falls in love deeper than others. but i think some guys have a harder time coming back from heartbreak than women. it's normal for us to grieve and talk it out and for men sometimes it's seen as weak and they hold it in longer and never really talk it out and get over it

SlitherySnake · Answer

Men. This is evidenced by these facts: 1. There is no female equivalent of chivalry. 2. Men are usually the persuers and do romantic gestures while women are usually the recipients of romance. 3. Divorces are initiated by women 70% of the time and usually the woman will take the man's children away, half his stuff, make him pay alimony, and forced child support regardless of whether he's allowed to see his children.

dipta · Answer

I believe that discussion also occurred in the novel Persuasion of Jane Austen, which is of course a romance.
The man accused women of being volatile and that men loved more deeply; she responded that while men may love deeper, women love longer when all hope is already gone.

I don't know. Maybe it's the same towards children.
Romantically, men are more prone to lose their head and senses over a woman, while most women are usually level headed.

TiredGirl123 · Answer

So since you phrased your question to say "deeper in love" and not "who falls in love more often", I will proceed answering without regard to who falls in love more often on either side.

I think both genders can fall equally in love. Each gender has its psychopaths, free floaters, romantics, etc. Some women fall deeply in love with every partner, some men will only love once in their life. And Vice versa.

Shubham1804 · Answer

I guess male fall in love more deeper than female. cause I've been in this situation, first one was when I was in high school and after 4yrs when I was finally out from the last one I fell in love again and it doesn't matter how hard I try she just don't feel it seems like she is avoiding and ignoring me. We use to talk like every day and night we video chat and call each other for one to two hours and now everything things is gone... I was so in love with her that become clingy I used to tell her why you are doing this?, why you are not talking to me? I have done stupid things but they were not that big. Once she told me she is very egoistic person and I guess I accidentally talked it. I don't know what to do know I'm just waiting with a hope and trying my best to keep her with me and not leg on her.

NyomiMcClinton · Answer

Im going to go with women more, women get attached to quickly to a guy usually without knowing very little about the guy. They start thinking in their mind a future they might have with the guy, and developing strong feelings. I use to be this way also, but I am not anymore. I like to get to know someone before just jumping into a relationship with a guy.

samhradh_leannan · Answer

It depends on the individual, not on gender. Either gender can fall more deeply in love depending on their personality and the type of situation they're in.

Personally, I have always believed in love, even when I have been completely and utterly heartbroken. So yes, I still believe in love this year.

Anonymous · Answer

Generally speaking I think girls fall easier but guys fall deeper. A girl will cry about everyone and get her heart broken a million times over while most of the time the guy will be okay. But when a guy truly gets his heart broken it will affect him on deeper levels. That's just my opinion though, I'm not a psychologist or something.

Mrwoo99 · Answer

Women create 10x more of the bonding love hormone (Oxytocin) and have easier access to develop an emotional connection. Men and women are wired differently, a man was biologically made to procreate with as many numerous quality females he can get, reasons why we don't contain as much of the bonding hormone as women and are mostly lust driven.

Look up the science of it.

AnaWryneck · Answer

Its about the person not their gender there's probably a few guys who think I was in love with them but I can only say I've been in love twice it takes a lot for me to even say I love someone

SilenceMeansPatience · Answer

Men do dumber things for love. But I don't know that's not really a definition for deepness of the love more like comes as natural so I'd say it's equal/depends case by case

YaBaba · Answer

It depends. I have seen both male and female fall deeply in love. Sometimes it's the guy who is madly in love but the girl isn't that deep. Other times it's the opposite.

If you are talking about falling in love with money, the answer is women but if you are talking about falling in love with a person, it is surely men haha i just wanted to make ladies angry :)

A bigger percentage of women fall in love more often, while a small percentage of guys fall in love too deep and most don't fall in love at all.  This is surely what happens.

ADFSDF1996 · Answer

It's reasonable to think both can fall in love but I'm starting to think men are the ones that fall deeper in love.

Brooke_1713 · Answer

It depends. But i think most of the time girls would fall harder and more easily (especially teenagers) I mean C'mon... more than half of the cheesy fanfics on the webs are written by girls lmfao

Men in my experience - women all externalise that and so it dissipates - guys keep quiet and can love intensely for years even without much feedback. Never heard of a woman do that.
