Why are breakups easier for guys than women?

its easier for guys because they have no hearts and they don't think before they do and its hard for us women because we are in love with him but if not i would be easy

I'm not sure they are. I personally think that women and men can often have different ways of expressing themselves. Some men may appear to be coping well with a break up, when internally they are struggling. I think this also applies to women. On the other hand, men could be very open about the difficulties they are having as a result of their breakup. Women tend to express their distress more readily than males do, however i dont think this is set in stone. It all depends on the individual.

They aren't, it depends only on the type of person and the depth of relationship. Remember, looks and behavior can be deceptive, it is possible that some are jus acting like they're fine and that the breakup is easier for them, even when it's actually not. Mostly, guys prefer hiding their emotions and actually it doesn't matters if it's a guy or a gal, breakups are always more difficult for the one who loves more.

Because they think they have an advantage in meeting other girls and introduce their feelings with many tactics or tricks many girls fall in.

It's actually not that much easier on guys. In fact, polls do show that men take break ups just as hard as women do. The difference is that male-culture prevents men from expressing themselves especially if it's sadness or melancholy. That's not to say that women can hide their feelings too because sadness is completely gender neutral.

Who said breakups are easier for guys than women? They may appear to be on the face of it, but its just different people’s ways of dealing with it. In public one man may act like he isn’t too bothered, but he may still cry behind closed doors. Another man withdraw himself while others may overreact by partying, drinking or acting out, overcompensating for their grief or sadness. Without looking into people’s minds you will never truly know what goes on, but just because someone may act one way, doesn’t mean it’s a true reflection of how that person is really feeling inside.

I think it's because guys have it easier in society to move on pretty quickly, while it's frowned upon for girls to immediately dive into a different relationship.

I don't think they are easier for guys. We think it might be easier for guys (normally) because most men can hide their emotions better than women. Determining if a breakup is easier or not depends on the individual person. I think it depends on the their view of love, and much they value it.

Because guys are idiots :) just kidding, that's not always true it just seems that way but I do believe women are a lot more emotional and that could be why.

It depends on a person but generally women become more emotionally attached to a relationship and are more centered about anything which is relationship-related. Guys usually have stronger "support" from other spheres of life: work, friends, football what-have-you. Does not mean it's the same for every guy and every woman, but generally it's like that.

Because brain and thinking pattern of guys is different than of females. Females get emotionally involved in everything whereas males can't. Also. females think more than males about breakup, so its not easy for them to get over it.

Perhaps because women care more for who they choose to go out with, perhaps it is because the man is the one who chooses who to ask out in most relationships, and it was his choice in the first place, so he may feel it is up to him to end it

That's not true, if a break is easy for someone, whether a guy or a girl, then maybe what they thought they had wasn't real, or maybe they lost whatever they had towards their partner and thus, they're not having a hard time letting go.

I don't think it's easier for them, maybe it just depends on the personality or how much they loved the other person.

Are they easier for guys than women? Perhaps this is the common perception, but I've seen males equally distraught as females over failed relationships. It really depends on the person and how invested they were in the relationship.

They aren't. Men are as much hurt from a break up as women. It's just that they hide it because its not 'manly' to be sad or show emotion towards a break up.

Actually I read about some articles which actually claim that it is the other way around. While women might seem to have harder time, in the first few weeks, she might cry and feel sad. She will heal much faster, she will talk to her friends, get emotional support, go shopping and get over the sadness after a few weeks or months at most. On the other hand, men would probably feel sad for many months, or even many years, and they actually might never ever heal the emotional wounds of a breakup, even after starting a new relationship, but just keep living with them while pretending that nothing happens. They also have harder time getting emotional support, because showing sadness over the breakup, crying and other stuff is like showing weakness, which is not viewed as "manly" and therefore it is enmasculating to show sadness, if guys go to their friends crying for their breakup their friends would just be like: "get over it, stop being a pussy", "men don't cry", etc... But showing sadness and vulnerability is seem as femenine and normal for women and if they go to their friends they will by sure get emotional support on most cases https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCSjuylaYUk

It really depends on the person and how involved they were in the relationship. It can be harder for girls if they were more into the relationship and the same goes for guys. It jut depends on how much they've invested themselves into it.

They're not, men just handle things better but they are also hurting. It's just how society has made men and women.

I don't think they are easier on boys as such. The effects depend on how much that person (boy/girl) invested in the relationship, their love, they way of handling pain etc. Everybody deals with pain differently. I grovel in my pain for a while but after that I get over it quickly. You have to chose what works best for you and don't think about how the other person is handling. The grass is always greener on the other side.

Because women are much more emotionally attached. Women experience a deeper level of connection. Whereas men put these emotions aside and they drink and party and do things to ignore their feelings. But it catches up with them eventually. It’s not easier. I think it just happens in different stages

Guys can sometimes be less emotional than girls and take breakups in a different approach. Girls tend to talk about their feelings and express them but guys may hide them because they may see it as emasculating. They hide how they feel from others and even ignore it for themselves sometimes resulting in the pain of the breakup lasting longer from never facing it. They may try to distract themselves with a lot of different things and be upset here and there that lasts a longer amount of times whereas girls usually face it and are continuously upset for a shorter amount of time.

I doubt that gender determines the relative ease in breaking up. I think the ease of a breakup depends on the value of investment in the relationship and that includes how "connected" one might feel. However, such questions pop up and there might be data as the premise to such a question but the data will be the way it is most likely because of cultural forces (be it they are in the LGBTQ community or the BDSM community) on what a woman or a man is to expect and be expected of in a relationship. Without going into any detail, it's mostly because of investment value, identity and expectations.

Women are genetically emotional beings. this is natural> but it is not 100% factual that breakups do not affect men. This also depends on the nature of the relationship, how long it went on for, etc. It differs from one person to the oethr.

Well in simple terms to say..., in our place it is compared withthe number of hearts. Biologically we knw that both male and females have juss one heart, but psychologically, men are said to have many heart but women to have juss one. But when we actually look into it, we can see that women are more emotional and attacjed. But men dont get so emotional so its easy for them to overcome

Actually, it is just the same for both men and women. It just so happen that men are better in hiding their feelings because of their masculinity. Maybe it's just that it.

I don't think they are; they often seem to be because women seem to be more in touch with their emotions and the like. Most of the time, it is simply because the woman was pursued by the guy and so she felt loved, she felt needed and worthy then suddenly everything is pulled from under her!

I don't think break up are easy for anyone. I think it takes time to figure out how to get over someone. It have figure out who you are outside of that relationship. I think it's different for everyone and I don't believe that any gender struggles less than another.

I find that gender doesn't necessarily determine how someone deals with a break up. It may appear that guys have a better coping reaction due to the fact that as a generality, guys are unfortunately socialised to refrain from expressing themselves emotionally. For women it is the opposite. What goes on internally is often much more complex than meets the eye.

The question assumes a stereotypical view of men's behavior. I am not very sure that breakups are easier for men than women. A lot depends on the emotional makeup of the person and the circumstances. Men do have instinctual drives to mate with many women, but it is not clear that breakups are necessarily easier for men. It may even be harder for an emotional man to handle a breakup. So, in my view, the answer is, it depends on the specific person.
