Just curious if they ever feel guilty over time or they’re too self centered to care
Do men who use women as a rebound feel guilty?
I think most people, male or female, aren't really aware that their new bf/gf is a rebound. Only after a while when they got over their previous relationship, they'll see things more clearly and will realise that they only started the new relationship because they needed some one and not because they were in love. So I think it's safest to be aware of the above when you meet someone that just became single and think about what you should do.
I for one try to stay in touch with someone I'm interested in that just got out of a relationship, so she wouldn't forget about me, but wait a bit before "moving in" so she has the time and space to make terms with the breakup. It's tricky though, as I risk ending up in the friend zone or have someone else beating me to the punch, but I'd rather risk those things then ending up as a rebound and have my heart broken a month later.
PS: Unfortunately there are probably also *ssholes and b*tches around that will consciously just use you to get over a breakup. If that's the case, try to focus on the fact that you're lucky to get rid of him/her now and that you haven't wasted any more time and energy on them than you already have. I know that's easier said than done, but otherwise you might end up bittered and perhaps not give someone that does deserve it, a fair chance.
Anyway: The person that doesn't realise from the start that his new gf/bf is just a rebound, will probably feel bad afterwards. If (s) he consciously uses you as a rebound, they probably won't feel bad and you're much better of without him/her

no men don't feel guilty normally, we have this ability to keep our emotions out of sexual acts.
however if the person tells us then we do feel regret but can't help the way we we're feeling at the time, we don't like to admit to our feelings so even deny we're on the rebound to ourselves.
did you know he was on the rebound before you two got together?

The only guilt they feel is when they want their girlfriend back and she finds out about the rebound chick.

I think there are men who use women for sex. And no... they don’t feel guilty

There's no guilt in it from what I've seen. And women rebound too. Ever heard the phrase "best way to get over somebody is to get under somebody"? Most people rebound, so why feel guilty. It's human nature. You've lost what you perceive to be a lot, so you need a quick boost to get back out there.

I had this opportunity. didn't go through with it. It was an opportunity for free pussy. Call me stupid coz i know i am for not taking it.
But it was a blow to my ego. Like i was being fed the scraps of the better man or "alpha males." The scraps they didn't want.
Similar to a pity fuck...
I dont think a relationship like that could blossom into something good.
There wouldn't be any love there... -
Male or female they both feel pain and hurt, I've never used someone as a rebound your just hurting more people if you do but it I did yes I would feel guilty but I do know some girls that have no remorse its all about there feelings which is wrong
People rebound so they fill the loss that they are feeling some do it to make the other person jealous, I wish people would just take a step back and think before acting -
No, but it's worth noting that even though they don't feel bad about it, it's less because they don't care, and more because they sort their own head trash out and they realize that the rebound girl wasn't really a sustainable partner.
-
It depends on the man's level of consciousness. Typically, men who use women for sex are operating from a lower level of consciousness, therefore they probably don't care because they lack empathy.
-
I've never done it, and I don't know any man who has. If you're concerned about being a rebound, don't date men who have recently broken up with someone, or who are obviously hung up on their ex.
-
They might, they might not. If they do it all the time probably not. I can't use people at all which is why I may not have sex again for a very long time...

I’d never do something so self-centered to a woman in the first place, but if by chance something like that DID occur, I’d feel really really bad and break things off gently because of it.

Didn't know that was a thing, thought only women used rebounds
-
Not really as long as there wasn't a pretense of it being an act of commitment.
-
I'm sorry, but this question offends me. Guys are capable of feeling all the same emotions as ladies, and all guys are different.
-
I don't think most guys who do that realize the harm they cause.
-
I'll admit, I've done it once and I'll never do it again. I can't speak for other guys but I felt worse after doing it.
-
No, because I'm straight forward and honest about it
-
No, because in their minds they aren't using the woman.
-
dont get me wrong, but we are always using people for a personal pourpose. Its just a matter of how your deal with it.
-
I do , what goes around comes around , why play with fire
-
It's only wrong if the girl states outright beforehand that it's a dealbreaker.

I Have Never Used A Woman For A Rebound, Never Will...

Guilt means that they care; I don’t think they do.
