I love to trust and love.

Why do women get more emotionally attached to someone? Do guys have the same sentiments like a woman does when it comes to love?
I become emotionally attached. Wouldn't have it any other way myself. Most of my male friends, though, from how they speak, I can't say the same of them.

@thewindupbirdchronicles How refreshing. That's how you bond and grow deeper.
@Magenta Yes, it's taken me through the ringer emotionally, though. I won't trade that for the world.

Yea men do have sentiments.

I have witnessed men getting emotionally attached to people who are most important to their lives.

@ericap the part about restoring the trust and regaining their love is quite true.

Women, more so than men, are wired that way physiologically. Adaptation to facilitate pair bonding and a cohesive family unit for child rearing and protection.

Different but complementary, I think.

When she bonds with a guy, she trusts him. This means she trusts him to protect, provide, and cherish her.

When a man bonds with a woman he chooses to include her as exclusive partner in his life. It may take longer for him to feel this level of trust.
But by being with him, she inherently begins to be protected and provided for, even before he grants her full partner status.

Yes, emotional attachment and mental stimulation are essential.

because we have a big heart! It feels good to bond with others, especially in ways that go beyond the superficial. If we love meeting new people, asking deep questions, and simply spending a lot of time with others, we may find get attached more easily to others.

Yes and no. From everything I've experienced and have heard, men don't become as emotionally attached as women -- or at least, not as often. I've also heard that they tend to fall in love quicker and out of love faster, as well.

Every human does, well, that's my own belief. Love is hard on the emotional envestment. Being attached as in loving someone doesn't need to be harmful though

I think it's in our genes ... The need to keep a mate to protect us and our off spring..

Guys have different imperatives, evolutionary wise
I am not sure that i agree here. I think that men also get emotionally attached to their love lives. At least i do

As a guy, I have attachments but they are more private

It Depends i guess

@Enigmaticsoul it is not really about gender but more about the person. i have seen very sentimental men and women without any sentiments (just very few). tbh, men are more emotionally attached whereas women nowadays are matured in handling emotions.

I think guys tend to be very attached emotionally but due to expected gender roles they aren't allowed to express it,talk about it with anyone or even personally acknowledge it. But are instead expected to be emotionless sexual predators. All of this leads to the self turning inward and creating various personal issues.
