really-broken Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Hello. I suppose this might've been asked before, but I am going to ask it here anyway: Let's say that you have a mutual breakup between a girl and a guy, 3 questions: 1. Is it more likely that the girl will find someone to have sex with faster? 2. Is it more likely that because of (1) she might move on faster and forget about her ex, at least physically? 3. Is it therefore more likely that she will find a new boyfriend or at least date someone somewhat regularly quicker, than a guy would? My gut feeling tells me that if an average to attractive girl wants to have sex, she will have no problem finding someone very quickly. But if an average to attractive guy wants the same, he will have to work a lot harder for it. Or is it just me and am I trying to make myself feel better by making this generalization? I know there are always exceptions, but I am wondering if there is any trend. In Canada at least? And on a side note, how do you stop comparing yourself to others?
skydiveaddict Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) Your assumption is correct. Women can find men much easier than the other way around. It's common knowledge. That's why so many men get sent packing. An attractive woman can have virtually any man she desires. Edited October 14, 2010 by skydiveaddict
Fouts Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Depends on the age of the person and the quality of the partner they end up with. If we're talking about attractive people with something to offer, a younger girl probably has it easier to find an equal replacement, while an older guy (35+) probably has it easier to find an equal or better one. Either party can hook up quickly if there's no standard for the new partner.
carhill Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 When it comes to ego feeding and easy sex, women have no peer. However, don't for one second believe that they have any easier time finding a healthy relationship than men do. Just read LS for evidence of that. They struggle with it just like we do. As a datapoint, in the 18 months my ex and I have been separated pending divorce, I've dated two ladies briefly and my ex has had two boyfriends sufficiently intimate that they have been photographed with family and friends. She's no prize nor am I; we're just regular old folks. This datapoint would tend to support your hypothesis. However, , if I were to want casual, non-intimate, purely circumstantial sexual relationships, I've already passed up a number of opportunities, with both single and married women. So, things aren't as clear and simple as they might seem. Life never is. Good luck
