I read a post that said men fall in love once for real then will spend the rest of their lives trying to find another version of them. is that true?

So I’ll tell you… I’ve seen this be true for widowers specifically because they loved their wives deeply and can’t find anyone else like that. But no, I don’t generally think that all men are like pandas or eagles in terms of their mating capacity… some are very much the opposite.


From what my guy friends have shared, the first tends to be memorable because she’s the first, but then there’s something memorable from each woman afterwards… what does happen to some guys is they compile what they loved about each experience and try to find a girl who can be all that for them… which may not be the best way to go about finding Ms Right, but I have seen three of my friends find precisely who they wanted and several others who recently settled for what they consider “close enough” to their ideal girl to settle down and start a family.


Will it all work out? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ It’s now up to each couple to make things work…

Yes mens first love is always their true love. Anything after that they are settling for a woman that they don't really want

I read a post that said the earth is flat. I learned many years ago to not believe everything you read on the internet, especially when it is in the nature of an opinion.

I got married on April 27. My wife is so very much unlike my high school love that you would never guess the same man was involved with both of them.

Women will make up anything to avoid accountability or outsourcing justification of why they lost the "one that got away."

Aiming to sprinkle a bit of my relationship expertise here, let's flirt with this idea for a moment! While it’s a charming and somewhat poetic notion that men fall in love once and spend eternity chasing its shadow, real life tends to be more complex and less linear. People, regardless of gender, can fall deeply in love multiple times under different circumstances. Love isn't a one-time deal—it's an evolving emotion. The idea you mentioned might stem from our tendency to romanticize our first intense love experience, but trust me, hearts are capable of remarkable resilience and capacity for love. Every love story is unique, and there’s always potential for another chapter, regardless of past experiences. So, keep your heart open and your spirits high, love tends to surprise us when we least expect it! 😉

I don't think so. Humans aren't like geese. We can have more than one partner & be in love several times. Most people have crushes throughout their life too.

Neah, not at all, I can tell you because I loved 4 women in my life and each of them was different and made me feel different and loved them different, living in the past is not natural or searching for a typology

[Chazmatazz269]

I can see that, but i haven’t really thought about it like that. I’ve never heard or read that before today either.

[avery58]

No that just sounds like a pick me quote tbh

[sheenagwapa]

the kind of person you are does not depend on your gender

[Hanrej]

Well... It's true enough. That doesn't mean a man can't find happiness with someone else, it just means he's matured from any dilussions of "true love".

[Anonymous]

No, It’s just the first relationship always take all the excitement for the next ones.

The next love is always the mature one.

[Nikki1989]

Not true at all. Men AND women can fall in love many times during their lifetime.

[9in_Serpent]

I would say they fall in love once hard and then never again

[Starrrboy]

Yeah, a lot of people are like that but it's not specific to men..

[JoshMacDonald]

No. I was married. After I divorced I didn’t want that any longer.

[KrakenAttackin]

I think men learn from the mistakes of dating hoes and manipulative women.

[BLP11520]

Sounds like stupidity, we adapt to someone with similar interests

[Bklynbadboy12]

That's definitely not true don't believe everything you read

[CrabCakes11]

Healthy men do not behave like that

[laly520]

doesn't make sense

[eagle1951]

[TallAnon]

Sounds like bullshit

[strawberrybaby3]

[Anonymous]
