Do men fall in love?

[Custardcreamssummerdreams]

Or at least in the same women do?

Just reflecting on life really now I am older.

They appear to be able to move on quicker?

I wrote this thread for reasons explained in my newest thread

I absolutely think they do. My ex took 2 years before he was able to move on and get a new girlfriend, he certainly did not go out having sex as soon as we were broken up (we remained friends for a while). My current boyfriend was very quickly announcing that he "really liked me", and stuck being around me a lot despite me dating other guys too for some time before committing to him. I don't think there is any difference in men and women falling in love.

I find it mildly depressing that the question even needs to be asked.

Of course men do. The same highs and lows effect us just as much.

Plenty of men are also insensitive muppets, but there are plenty of women that fit that description too. Don't let the lazy narratives on here convince you otherwise.

They do but I don't think they fall in love in the same way women do and definitely not as readily. I reckon most men will only truly love a couple of women in their entire life time whereas some women can love multiple men.

Men don't necessarily move on quicker, they just mask their feelings with stuff like casual sex. I spoke to one man about it a few months ago. He'd been in love once aged 21 and she broke his heart so ever since he hadn't let himself get attached to women and just had a series of casual flings. He said he was online dating a couple of weeks after she left him purely to find 'rebound sex' so he could attempt to forget the pain.

I think rehound sex is OK, perhaps a bit too eager and energetic, but at least you don't have to answer questions about whether you really meant it, or if rubber gloves are normal when you do washing up.

The difficult is that sometimes when you are about to tell someone you love them, you also think 'hangon, maybe I'll show them, demonstrate it my careful appreciative lovemaking, but when the clothes are off, someone gets too excited and it's back to rabbits before you go 'oh, I was going to say I loved her endlessly' and then you sleep or do it again or whatever, and then when you remember you meant to say it, it has ended and she is going out with someone else.

Its worse when you get a job, as you also have to fit that in(unless being in love, or writing is your job obv).

Your poor Labrador.

I love her so much..

not as in 'often'

Haha oh I see

Writers like artists are nothing but trouble and are always on the rehound

My Great Nan died followed by my Great Gramp the following year...he was heartbroken it was plain to see and I firmly believe he died of a broken heart, he just gave up...That was a very early experience for me seeing a man love and I've seen many more since...along with examples of both men and women who seem to just 'lust' and move on...certainly not a what sex you are issue as just a general what type of person you are.

I don't mean to insult anyone and your stories are all lovely but I am a massive sceptic - to give an example my gran and grandad looked like the most loving couple ever - he even built a house for her but behind closed doors he was a real bastard and to this day no one but the very closest family will ever know that, so that's just one of my family experiences - women put up with a lot more in those days don't forget that

This all seems very subjective tbh and dependant on each posters personal experience
