Do men really move on faster than women after a break up?

Question

do mean really move on faster than women after a break up?

Eeeyore18 · Accepted Answer

I know I don't move on faster. It takes me months before I start to move on. Though, I may not cry about it, but I think about the girl 24/7

No. They handle initial separation better than women but feel worse later on when women are starting to feel better.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Depends on how you define "move on." Do they start dating again sooner? Probably. Are their feelings for their ex resolved sooner? Probably not.

aWes0MeNeSs · Answer

I think it depends on the person, and how they felt about the relationship. Someone who felt in love will obviously take longer to grieve the relationship and move on than someone who was never really into that person and may have been settling, using that person as a placeholder until they found what they really wanted, or had fallen out of love a long time ago, etc.

TruthBringer · Answer

Not at all. According to the following studies that is:
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/107319110000700405 https://binghamton.edu/communications-and-marketing/media-public-relations/pr-archives/index.html?id=2315

Women hurt more in the initial break-ups, but they tend to get over it faster. Much of this is thanks to two reasons:

1) Women generally have people whom they can vent to while men often have to cope by themselves (or risk be seen as "weak", get ridiculed, and 'turn off' other people). So men tend to bottle up their feelings more than women, even though that's against their will.

2) Women's biology allows them to adapt to their surroundings better in terms of romance and dependency. hence why women generally have an easier time getting with someone else and forget about the ex. The only exception would be if the ex was "better" than the current partner. And whatever "better" means would depend on the views of the woman herself (maybe better in bed, mayb ebetter looking, maybe richer, maybe more dominating and manly etc.).

3) Men are usually the ones who get dumped. at least in marriage that is when 70% of divorces are initiated by women.

So anyone who tells you tha tmen get over women faster is not only delusional in their way of thinking, but is most likely referring to the top-tier men who have an abundance of choices of women. So they easily jump to the next woman. While the average lad who was serious about building something is sitting at home dealing with the break-up all by himself.

Now even though the title of the video I've sent says "men never get over", that doesn't mean that's actually true (it's clickbait). Men just tend to take longer and as soon as he picked himself up, he returns to living his good life. Especially if he finds another partner.

Not really, I think it comes down to how the relationship was in the first place and how it ended , I think whoever initiated the break up usually moves on faster , they usually break up cuz they met someone else or want to pursue someone else and the person they broke up with didn’t have a clue and are devastated and in a state of shock, or if their partner cheated on them and they find out will make them devastated, trying to figure out what went wrong, so for them to move on from someone they gave their heart to is not easy , and in most cases they blame themselves for why their partner left them. So depends on how much that person really loved them, Me personally doesn’t get into a committed relationship with someone that I don’t want to spend the rest of my life with , what would be the point , when I commit I give my heart and treat them the way I want to be treated , I don’t put a check out date on them lol I am only going to commit to this girl for 5 years and then trade her in lol That would be insane lol , So I take commitment seriously and I am in it for the long haul , but I will not commit to someone that treats me like a convenience and nowadays that’s what it seems most people are doing , so who knows if I will ever find that girl again cuz most girls I have met just like the convenience of me but I keep trying somewhat , I am at a point in my life that I experienced a lot so for me to fall in love again is going to take the girl a lot of walks to climb to prove to me that she is in it for the long haul as well , I was married to a girl for 15 years that I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with , but her selfishness took the best of her and she ended up having an affair on me and I busted her and that was my final straw to end it. I didn’t start dating again for a long time cuz I was devastated , When I finally started dating again I felt like I was in a whole new dating world , I was even more shocked on how people are today , Most irks that I dated nowadays had boyfriends and husbands that they kept secret from me and I would find out after the fact. So to me this world is going to hell in a hand basket But I still have hopes that there is a girl out there that knows what it means to be in a committed relationship

rjroy3 · Answer

I know guys my age were still hurt over breakups that happened in high school. Lol to be fair I know girls like that too. But my point is to say it varies by person.

I'd say there's a difference between moving on and being over your ex. I've had ex girlfriends "move on" faster than me, get into a relationship, then while they're in that relationship still hit me up out of the blue because they were happier with me and said as much.

She moved on but never got over me. Happens all the time. I think on average girls move on to someone else faster. But I don't think girls get over their ex faster.

I just know too many girls who still aren't over their ex regardless of who they're fucking now. While I know far more guys who have an ex that won't leave them alone or they're happier with a girl who is more in line with what they want.

Grain of salt tho. Obviously plenty of guys not over exes. While I'm emotionally over my exes I would still sleep with most of them given the opportunity because attraction is still there. I just wouldn't date them lmao

Sarahr123 · Answer

Every man is different. Some forget straight away and don’t give a damn whilst others grieve for years or even all their lives.

It also depends on the depth of their love for their ex. If they never loved her then of course they’ll move on straight away but if they loved her they may never get over her.

Same for women. If she loved a man she may never forget him and most likely will never forget him but if she never had any emotional attachment at all she will instantly get over it.

This isn’t a man’s issue or woman’s issue. It’s an emotional issue. It depends on if feelings are even present or not and if they are then how deep do they run? I have seen true love and I am grateful to have witnessed true love in my lifetime.

ProCoffeeAntiSleep · Answer

I though the stereotype was women fall fast but men fall harder?

Anyways it obviously depends on the relationship, causal hook ups and first/ second dates probably don’t count for much. But if your with someone a long time, even if you start dating right away, I think most people struggle to move on.

I think there is probably some truth in the faster/ harder dynamic but I don’t know if its gendered. A lot of women seem to imagine a future with someone more than men do, but I don’t know how you would measure how someone reacts to the loose of a relationship

hannahjo022 · Answer

Most of the time when someone move on faster after a break up is they already start talking to someone behind their partner's back and start to date that person after the breakup. I know I have done that due to dating someone who treated me poorly. It all depends on the person and their relationship with that person.

EmbraceThePain · Answer

I think, emotionally, women usually invest more into a man than a man does into a woman. In other words, it doesn’t take much for a man to want to be with a woman, whereas it takes a lot for a woman to be into a man relatively speaking. Women just invest more into a relationship, whether you’re talking about physically (pregnancy) or emotionally.

Itsok2behapp-e · Answer

Depends on how you measure your average.

Do you measure by mean, median or mode?

Take to the streets > Ask the question > Collate your findings > Choose your chosen method of measuring the average (mean, median or mode) and you'll have your answer.

CasaNorba · Answer

highly doubt it. talking from experience I seen women hit bars and clubs getting drunk and open their legs to random dudes the same week they broke up. it also can't be a coincidence that over 5 years ago when I was a sucker and wasted time on dating app most of the women I matched with whether recently divorced or broke up.

while we men in the other hand we always need a time out and think twice for a long ass time before going back on track

Hairylegs222 · Answer

I move on immediately. There's a billion other women out there and dwelling on one still is silly to me. Also people who know me say I'm like a robot sometimes lol.

Everyone is different in that aspect though. My friends it took them along time per relationship to get over them. Of course I was the friend that would keep hearing them talk about their ex lol.

Floppy2112 · Answer

From a relationship? Hell no. Women move on much faster. If it was a situationship or a coupling of convenience where I didn't care, then I figured we both moved on pretty quick. But if was an official, tied down, betrothed type relationship, men are crushed and women move on much easier. Like it never even happened.

Anonymous · Answer

It varies person to person and relationship to relationship, but in general, I would guess women move on faster. Women tend to acknowledge their feelings. They let themselves be sad and they talk to their friends about it. Women seek support, and many other women are good at supporting them.

A lot of men on the other hand try to hide their pain. They go about life as usual and don't address the elephant in the room. Bottling up pain tends to draw out the healing process.

red324 · Answer

Depends on how it ended and whether or not unanswered questions were answered. Etc. Also if I can find another attractive girl that will help, but usually after about a month I start to not care about her anymore. No sense caring about a girl who doesn't give a shit about me anymore or maybe never even did in the first place.

JohnSmityJohnson · Answer

No. Absolutely not. Now of course everyone takes a breakup differently. However, lets not kid ourselves, a breakup psychologically damaging, and will take time to recover. So this notion that men are made of stone and don't feel emotions is a bunch of BS. Some take it better than others and are able to endure through the pain. We are still human, and breakups are painful.

lovedejj_xo · Answer

My ex and I broke up this month after 2 years ….. I can tell he’s trying to move on fast since he was posting all these super happy pics the next day and pics with some female. But now he’s starting to look miserable. People have texted me what happened to him since he cut off all his hair and his beard. That’s not my concern, I’m starting to feel better ☺️ Life goes on! I ignore his texts.

DWornock · Answer

No! Of course not because the women were planning it and grieving long before the actual breakup so by the time of the breakup they are ready to move on. Men's time for grieving starts with the breakup. Typically, until the breakup, men are not even aware there was a problem.

cth96190 · Answer

Hell no!
The typical woman will move on much faster than the typical man.
When the woman says that it is over, she has been fucking his replacement on the side for three months, before she monkey branches.

Qdbrown · Answer

Wow, not even close. Most women move on before before they leave the relationship.

Men will just use women as aspirin for some recreation sport F-ing to make themselves feel better with the local hoe or tinder chicks.

ohshee · Answer

Yes we have to move faster you ever been with a woman scorned I'm glad I can do pretty fast because my ex she tried to run me over in a car she said if she can't have me nobody's going to have me. Damn right we move faster it's a good thing

Smashingdoozy · Answer

No, generally the person who is the dumper does better because they've thought about it for longer. Possibly even for a month the relationship was already over to them.

Sincerly_KittyCat · Answer

Hmm, I think if there weren't many feelings on his end he would move on faster than a woman. But personally, I would move on quickly... regardless. I'd be pissed at wasting time.

Anonymous · Answer

Oh shit no.

Women get new dick almost instantly and rebound almost immediately then claim it was “nothing” or they “weren’t in their right mind” when it has negative repercussions. Usually blaming the guy for “taking advantage when she was weak” or some shit.

Men more often stay single and loyal until he discovers she is fuckin other dudes.

Anonymous · Answer

It depends, if I saw the breakup coming I already started moving on inside. I would still try to make it work. But it takes two to Tango. If I didn't, well tough luck.

NightHawk99 · Answer

Depends on the reason for the breakup.

If the reason is she was too bitchy for my liking, or disloyal, then moving on won't be a problem.

But if it's someone I've spent years having good times with, moving on is a bitch. Lol

Mofunfour20 · Answer

It depends on the emotional dependence level of the person. If he/she has options it won't matter much

Anonymous · Answer

It depends on the person, but it’s proven that a lot of men don’t typically go through a phase of sadness right after the breakup, but feel it most after months or years.

Ninjazzed · Answer

Men aren’t as emotional.. and even if they are, I feel like they don’t care as deeply as most women or really never felt anything in the first place.

Anonymous · Answer

Honestly they probably do usually instantly but don’t show it. We’ll pretend like we’re hurting until we forget to show it. Unless of course he really loved her and maybe she cheated on him or she just lost interest. It’ll be exactly what you expect.

exitseven · Answer

I think girls may show it longer but guys do feel bad for a long time. They just don;t show it.

Jlegacy · Answer

Probably. No girl has ever broken up with me. I always do the breaking but even then, it takes me about a month to heal and move on from her.

lorenzomichael · Answer

I think so you girls get attached quickly. It seems you guys expect it to go one way but sometimes it don't work out. Then while you're trying too figure out what happened. We moved on to the next ex.

yourbabygirl921 · Answer

I think so. For me it takes me months to be totally moved on

BeenThereLovedIt · Answer

Not in my experience. Most women I've known go bang someone else within a day of breakup.

Slartybartfast · Answer

From my experience, by the time you know you're breaking up, they are already with another man.

Anonymous · Answer

It's not entirely obvious. I suspect it really depends on individual circumstances. Although I will say that a hot girl will be picked up again and in a relationship pretty darn quickly. In some instances even before the break up happens!

RubyJ · Answer

I think it's highly individual not gender, i cry a lot at night and even after months I'm still there, while there are people which is almost instantly, but either they didn't love or they are faking it

Andres77 · Answer

It all depends on the individual. Some people move on while they're still in the relationship.

Jonny59 · Answer

depends on the guy  but I doubt people move on that fast unless you have so problems with your emotions then yes
