I'll give two examples of someone giving up on love because of bad experiences with the opposite gender and someone giving up on love because their partner died.
Example 1:
Mark is traumatized with bad experiences and his bad divorce. He wants nothing to do with women and has abandoned anything having to do with true love. He's a bitter MGTOW.
Same thing for a woman in his same position. She underwent either abusive relationship or crappy men. She wants nothing to do with love nor men. She's a bitter radical feminist.
Example 2:
When Anthony was between 22-25, he witnessed his young wife getting run over by a drunk driver and she died at the scene. He gave up on anything to do with dates and love. He never recovered.
Same thing for a woman in his same position. She lost her husband in an accident years ago and hasn't dated since. She gave up on love.
Which is harder example 1 or example 2?

In those two example, they gave up on love and dating. It's just that it's for different reasons.
