Humans: Who is better equipped to handle break-ups

Show all answers

Felicity???

A woman... After a few weeks of crying and sharing her heartaches with friends and family..she's now ready to show to the whole world that she has moved on with a smile and a big heart to fall in love again. Women can love blindly and devotedly but when she realized that it's already enough.. you'll be surprised to know, that she can just get up on her knees and move on. Well, just try to listen the song "irreplaceable" by Beyonce. Guys will get the idea. lol <*-*>

I totally agree both with ADAM and the 'little green guy'

Why is a cute dog like you talking about breakups.

I would think that most women are stronger. I've seen women go through the pain of a break up and move on.

As for men, I think when we really fall in love, Its hard for some of them to let go and then they may become violent.
I know of some cases where a man had killed his wife or girlfriend and then turned the gun on himself.
Some men would go into a depression and start drinking heavy liquor. They will not take a shower, they will not shave. Their clothes will be dirty and wrinkled. The hair is not well groomed.
I do not think that you will see a woman go down in that manner.
Women are stronger.

I have to say it depends on the person and the situation.

Not the answer your looking for, but that is what I see.

Every guy on here says guys are better.
Every girl here says girls are better.

There has to be some flaw, don't ya think? People handle things differently. It depends on the person, not the gender.

Depends. It is according to the particular man and the particular woman. There are men who after a breakup forgets the name of the girl the next day, and then there are men who would carry the girl's name to his grave, and would be the last word on his lips. There are also girls who would move on easily, and then there are those who also would never get over it, deep inside their hearts. I think women are better at not showing it, not because they are less hurt but because they are always made busy by chores.

Women are better equipped. I suppose they could discuss their situation without qualms with family or friends, and they would be up and running after a few days.

On the other hand, men generally consider breakups a blemish in their reputation, and talks about breakups are never up for discussion. They just couldn't handle it, I guess that was why beer and liquor were invented.

a woman.

social perception readily accepts a crying woman rather than a crying man. unfortunately, most men also support this idea. crying is a healthier choice than liquor. but men foolishly indulge in the latter.

It all depends on the length and the health of the relationship. I think that either or can handle a break up. Maybe a guy can handle it better because women seem to be more emotional than a guy. Woman seem to cause more drama where guys tend to try to avoid any type of drama.

I think the woman is stronger to handle break-ups. She looks weaker outside (she'll cry a river), but deep inside, she's stronger emotionally.

well, this is kind of a complex question, like it really depends on the situation and who left who. Then of coarse, guys think guys are better are girls think girls are better, except for the guys who have like a drudge or something on an ex, and they are better at leaving some one, and vise versa. But to be truthful and from what i've seen, if your in love and for no drastic reason there is a breakup, say nether one did anything to hurt the other, and the couple breaks up. I find that girls tend to move on WAY faster than guys do, and they don't seem to think much about their ex, if at all.

From experience and observation, women handle break-ups better.

a man because they are used to it while girls are not used to it as much

haaahaaaay, poopie, the lazyboys i dumped are heart-broken through and through. losing this beauty that is me is devastating talagah!

while being single, the woman is calm while the man is freaking wild. in marriage, the man is calm and the woman can't find her composure until a month or so.

i can't measure both because humans have a pride.

lol! this question is so gay for a doggie hehehehe

I have read several times, from several different writers and articles, that women are better equipped at hanlding breakups than men. This is partly due to the fact that women are more emotionally-outspoken, where men are reserved and have abigger tendency to hide and keep everything bottled in.
