    because we don't get so emotionally attached, and when we break up with one chick, we will go in search of another to fill the void...i am not trying to sound like a jerk either, that is just my interpretation of it.

    My ex left me because her feelings for me went away, and while I spent two years trying to move on, she dated other guys and forgot about me completely. Usually the pain isn't mutual after a breakup. She moved on quickly because she was already over me when she dumped me. I'm sorry that it happened to you, and I'll try to lend a hand. When I got dumped, I sat in the hole of darkness for a week or so, then crawled out and looked for some new things to do. The first gesture was symbolic. I cut all my hair off in mourning, just for the hell of it. I got a new job and worked a lot, and I bought a lot of used books and music. Mostly records, since I was broke as a joke. I wrote a lot of letters and revamped a lot of dying friendships. And chiefly, I broke contact with my ex. Boom, out of my life. That helped a lot. It's all about you now, not him, so if you don't want to be pulled back by a painful heart-wrenching "friendship," make it clear as crystal that you aren't interested. See what I'm saying? Do whatever you need to do to move on, and don't be talked out of it. Take no prisoners, and if a bridge looks good to burn, burn the ****** down. Good luck!

    That's easy. If the girl did the breaking up, then the best way of getting back is making the girl think that you didn't really care about her anyway. Even though you really do care. If the guy broke up, then obviously he had someone else in mind while he was with you. Just be happy that he broke it off first and not go behind your back. Us guys get jealous too if we see you move on so quickly, even though we broke it off first. Remember, happiness is the best revenge. Even if you only pretended to be happy.

    Not all of them do. I didn't. There are stereotypes for both genders and quite often they seem to be true. but there is always an exception to the rule. I didn't stop loving someone once when the relationship ended and I didn't move on for a long time because to me at the time it would've felt like cheating which is something I have never nor ever will do.

    Hi, Good Afternoon

    I feel like guys need much more importance to be given to them when u interact with them & when u start give importance they run off

    I'll suggest stop thinking about useless people and just take care of ur friends

    life is with friends not with a single stupid till u get the right person.

    Simple, simple, simple...

    Girls have to care about their looks, then they sit and wait to be approached.

    On the other hand we hear like a broken record that for guys, although looks are important, it's all about personality and "confidence."

    So, a guy falls "in love" with a girl for her appearance. That is what she worked on, but the girl might've fell for the guy solely based on his approach and personality (in the urban areas they call it "game").

    So, the girl loses a "personality" she fell for, but the guy loses looks he fell for, and the next girl he finds may be just as pretty.

    I don't know if they really move on quickly, or just give the appearance that they do. Guys just don't recover in the same way as girls. We cry, talk it out, and seclude ourselves. Guys drink it up with their boys and go out with other girls to hide the pain - doesn't mean they've moved on.

    Because he usually had the next one lined up before he cut you lose. blunt but true. Most move on not necessarily to committed relationship. Women usually look for something more stable/committed

    Take your time and move on when you are ready. Don't bring your baggage to the next reltionship

    Good luck

    I think that guys can move on more quickly than girls because they are usually not as emotionally invested in the relationship and because most guys cant really cry on there friends shoulders like girls can.

    no offense to anyone who disagree,

    but girls really shimmer over things to figure things out with emotion/feeling and we are wrapped up in things that guys don't think about.

    guys no the other hand just kinda say okay it's over bye bye now and drop it without thinking sometimes. =|

    It is kinda confusing

    but guys will be guys
