Do men love differently than women?

I’m talking about intensity, and empathy, and lots of other factors that create the relationship.

Are women quicker than men at moving on after the break down of their relationship/marriage?

I think the better question is, do men and women perceive what expressed love is differently. I find that men and women have very different ideas of how they perceived expressions of love. For men, it seems to be more physical. By being physical, they are showing their love. For women, it is more emotional and things of thought and emotion are showings of love.

This isn't always the case, of course. Exceptions exist.

I think we need to learn to ask our partners what we consider to be love and work out a happy medium instead of constantly just doing things that don't work for each other and builds resentment.

@FoxyQueen I agree that men do have a worst reaction which just makes them harden up towards the next woman, and get abusive in many ways. They are also more desperate for attention and often misinterpret situations which put them in danger of being accused of rape! They do not take rejection well and often it is when their latent misogyny raises its head!
Not every man, some, who may have struggled elsewhere in their lives and their past.

@Ximenajacoba Well, men also tend to find others to blame for things going bad and not look at their own self to see where they contributed or created the problem. That certainly does help build up interal misogyny. If all your girlfriends are "crazy" maybe in truth, you are the actual dysfunction in your life. The possibility odds of always attracting crazies is even higher than winning the lottery, therefore, you are probably creating the crazies from your own unchecked behavior.

However, women will take the blame for things they aren't accountable for and seem willing to put all the negatives on themselves instead of looking at things objectively. That hurts them and sets them up for further abusive situations by believing they are bad partners and deserve what they get because no one of worth wants them.

This can go either way though. It isn't completely true for everyone. These are just very strong patterns one sees after making observations.

I do think men need more physicality in a relationship. And I don't mean physical sex. Just more touching, hugging, cuddling, and yes, sex more often than women.
Moving on after a breakup? I would think it would depend on who did the breaking up?
This is just my opinion.

Its funny that you asked this question and yes we do love differently than women. I also believe we love harder than women we just show it in different ways.

@Bklynbadboy12 How do you mean, love harder?
Bklynbadboy12 · 36-40, M
@Ximenajacoba Cause when a man loves a woman he'll be willing to do anything for her. He'll sacrifice anything that he has to he'll even change who he is to be with her
Yes.

In my experience, men are actually truly romantic. And straight-forward in expression.

it depends upon how deep the man was drowned in relationship. Usually men feel incomplete without a female companion. Females can have the ability to survive independently as they are mentally stronger than men

This is difficult one, even for a man like me that has been married four times. The shortest answer I can think of is, I was gonna wright a whole paragraph. But it's Venus and Mars.

Women almost always already have a backup plan ie another person lined up to be a new romantic partner when their current one 'expires' their usefulness.

Men don't want or need a 'roster' normally.

That depends on the man or woman in question, doesn't it?
