this is a generalisation, but why is it that guys can forget and move on from a relationship so easily?

they can just bury whatever emotions they had/have and just forget about it.

why can't girls do that too?

too general.

yeah i mean girls can be equally as unfeeling

and whether someone feels regret or sorrow for a past relationship- after you break up it means you are less of a person to judge an ex

wtf...that's not just a generalisation...that's absurdly wrong.
girls forget and move on equally fast.....
in fact...they probably move on faster.
When girls leave guys languishing in their promiscuous wake, they don't think anything about it.
When a guy does it, they're insensitive and fickle and has emotional awareness and all that other spiritual bs.
Stop with the double standards.

Often girls need time to let their emotions re-adjust.

I think it has alot to do with who is the dumper and who is the dumpee. However even if you are the dumper if it's been a serious relationship it takes time to readjust to not having that person play such a major role in your life. Even if you 'stay friends' its either awkward or at least they aren't in your life as much. Sometimes you know something a relationship is ending but you hold on to it because of the good times you shared or how you feel about a person. I believe that girl's do give away their hearts alot more (generalisation I know, but Im full of them) and so even if they break it off because the relationship was hurting them, etc they still have a love which will only fade with time. Plus if you are the one being dumped it is sometimes a shock and so you were not prepared and you definitely will find it hard to overcome your emotions.

However I know heaps of girls however who are on the prowl straight after a relationship ended, even if they were the one dumped.

I think so much of it has to do with who was being dumped/how attached they were but the majority is personality type. Some people just bounce back.

Never. The double standards are just blatantly obvious. And it's frustrating.

i think it's the fact that some people either didn't have feelings in the first place/hide emotions/can put things in the back of their minds easily... while others take more time to let go... or have trouble letting go at all :\

sif guys get over girls more easily, we tend to not get over them ver quickly emotionally, but the whole rebound thing gives the impression that we get over girls quickly, where its really more of a reaction to emotional pain i guess

It's different for everyone. But I'm surprised that you haven't noticed the amount of pussies in this forum that cry and bitch about their x who they still love.

Maybe the guy/girl didn't feel the same sense of deep love for the other in the first place? Not necessarily a guy or girl trait.

coz they're cold, cold, cold bastards that ought to die.

otherwise, they're just faking it... then they drink copious amounts of alcohol + fuck random ppl = forget

It's not the same for everyone Nancy, just a lot of guys will tend to hide it more than girls because they have the whole ego thing to maintain.
