Who accepts the break up better: males or females?

Question

...Females are more sensitive, males also they just don't show it. So if females cry and talk with their friends they will get over it sooner, while males after a break up they take action go out with friends, find another sweetheart but they don't face with the fact that they are not anymore with someone that they used to love.

I read this in a magazine, and I'm not trying to take sides...I just want opinions from both sides.

thank you.

Answer 1

Are you trying to force the answer into us and have us believe women take breakups better?

Men accept breakups it better. Women tend to carry emotional baggage from past relationships into new relationships. It's not that men just don't "show it" -- you will see it in a man, he just doesn't go nearly as bizerk as a woman. Women are hell bent on slashing tires and breaking windows and "getting even." And generally go without a man for a long time. Men usually find another woman immediately and move on. Sometimes women will just grab any old guy just to show the man "hey I can get another guy too." But it isn't nearly as genuine. Jennifer Anniston getting with Vince Vaughn is a good example -- she just got him out of jealousy of Brad Pitt being with Angelina Jolie. And we see that Brad Pitt is still with Angelina Jolie (genuine), whereas Jennifer Anniston just used Vince as a recuperating post-break-up fling, and they are no longer together.

Let's take Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake for example? Who has lost their mind more? Justin Timberlake made one song dissing Britney, and moved on with Cameron Diaz, Jessica Biel, Scarlett Johansson and other hot women. Heot into movies and doing more successful albums. Britney on the other hand cried on national television, then got fat, dirty, and trailer trashy and dated a loser backup dancer. Then she dumped him, and people thought all was well. It wasn't. She got hooked on drugs, hung out with the other slutt known as Paris Hilton, became hooked on drugs, going out in public without panties, and then shaved her head and showed the world she's a looney tune.

Answer 2

It's not about gender at all. The one with the least interest in a relationship has the most control over a relationship and is least affected by a break-up or any rifts because they are not invested in it. Gender has less to do with it than personality and circumstances such as whether you still see the person at school, work, or social circles after the break-up. For example men and women are both capable of hooking up for a one night stand when the person they are with actually wants more. Both men and women do stupid and crazy things after a break-up.

Ultimately the one that accepts it better is the one that can free themselves from the emotional investment they made in the other person, and that's easieest for the one with the least interest in the relationship regardless of sex.

Answer 3

Well in our society, the man is suppose to be the strong person. The person who could not express emotions except for in the form of anger while society makes the female to be the more effusive of the pair. Therefore, females in general show more emotions and males supress them. Ultimately this says that they both cannot accept break ups but females would show more emotion. Surfacely, males take it better but they ultimately take it in the same way.

Answer 4

that's a detrimental thought. And he's being thoroughly manipulative. How quickly on your relationship did you communicate previous sexual encounters? Has he been hung up in this for months? all of us have a prior. all of us have made blunders in judgment. who's he to choose you? If he's in a dedicated relationship then he ought to be accepting of who you're. He needs to strengthen up. do no longer supply into his unreasonable demands. it is going to in effortless terms create extra distance between the two one in all you and this "difficulty" has already shaped a wedge. tell your boyfriend we are all fallacious and you could't administration your previous. He the two loves the guy he's at present with or he strikes onto somebody else. and could he pick the latter, the loss is thoroughly his.

Answer 5

Neither takes breaks ups, ect, very well. But think that, we men take them the worst, even though we're better at not showing our emotions in person.As for finding another sweet heart, it's not always true. I have yet to find another one. But how women take the above matter might depend on how men react. We men are picky, though. Also, the rest of what you read isn't always true, either.

Answer 6

I think females accept the break up better in general, but there are always going to be exceptions depending on personality types. I think females develop much stronger support lines to turn to in times of need. Many females spend time coming to terms and accepting the relationship is over, and are much more comfortable talking through their problems with close family and friends. A problem shared is a problem halved.

I think many males, tend to put the reality aside and carry on with life, and have greater difficulty talking about relationship problems with their peers. From personal experience, this reality hits them later on, and at a later time it is much more difficult to deal with.

I guess it comes from cultural perceptions and expectations which were established hundreds of years ago. Males were associated with strength, confidence and power whilst women were associated with emotional weakness etc. I guess these age old cultural expectations still effect the way we act and think these days.

Answer 7

I think that just depends on the person themselves. Sometimes women take it harder than men and viseversa. I know both men and women that have went off the deep edge from a breakup. We had a hostage/murder situation in my town because of a breakup and it was the guy that freaked out, kidnapped her and then blew her brains out on a church ground property. Very sad so IMO i dont think that can be answered conclusivly

Answer 8

In my opnion i feel as if the male accepts the breakup better because women are more lonely and like the commitment and the men like to be independent and just let it go and if they do care they hold their feelings in. However, not all men are like that but for the majority they are.

In addition it depends also on how long they have been together and maybe if they have any kids and so forth.

Answer 9

,I don't know if this is relevant but I recently got divorced after ten years and seem to be taking it harder than my wife. Of course it was her decision, and I would love to work it out. I'm not interested in finding someone new and sometimes wonder what's wrong with me. We were separated for six months, now divorce for three months. I know marriage is different than just boy friend and girl friend, but knowing someone loves you, but doesn't like you any more is hard for anyone.

Answer 10

I left my wife because she started doing drugs and i went to Alabama to the country home i rented to be a hermit for a year.Talking didn't help.I had chances for romance. but didn't for many years as a dolphin will lose its mate,it will then go off by itself alone in the ocean for the remainder of its life, i still feel that way,but i am going to try soon to find someone. i hope.I will be able to find another mate.but i don't know if i can ever truly love again
Peace

Answer 11

femailes, because us girls can cry for hours with our girlfriends, pamper ourselves with shop therapy, and sappy movies.
guys, on the other hand, too often keep their feelings inside, or deal by going and getting piss drunk. yet, they still have all the hurt feelings.
not trying to stereotype here whatsoever, and i know there are exceptions on either side of this. but just an observation...
