Tony T Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 ...and women like men who have just dumped somebody. I'll never figure this stuff out. Go here to read about it: http://bodyodd.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/01/12/5817763-guys-like-women-whove-been-dumped-study-suggests
Art_Critic Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Intersecting article.. If I had to make a guess men like women who have just been dumped because of the vulnerability aspect it it.. Easy pickens so to speak.. Not sure why a woman would like a man who just dumped a girl.. maybe it shows a take charge type of Alpha Trait..
Woggle Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 If a man dumps a woman it shows that he has a spine and has options which is very attractive. As for women being dumped I don't find that attractive. Men usually do not initiate breakups unless there is a damn good reason so if she is that bad why would I want to date her?
Negative Nancy Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Men usually do not initiate breakups unless yeah, indeed, instead they are cowardly cheating on her behind her back...why give up the relationship when you can have some action on the side....so of course men usually do not initiate breakups, why would they if they can have best of both worlds....
sally4sara Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 I don't think women like men who dumped their last SO because of status seeking. I think they like it better because it indicates he probably isn't still pining for the EX. He could have stayed with her and decided he didn't like being there. That sounds way more inviting than "the person I'd rather be with isn't here anymore but you'll do for now". Funny though, that men worry more about the woman being the dumper in her past relationship like its her favorite new hobby. The only time dumping someone is not awful is when the person you dump has been such an intolerable ass that you can't wait to be rid of them. And even then, its not much fun. Dating the dumper means its less likely there are loose strings still waiting to be tied up. Dating the dumpee sometimes means you're keeping a reserved spot warm.
carhill Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 198 participants, 102 women and 96 men, whose average age was about 19. YMMV, definitely TBH, IME, one never really knows who dumped who, unless of course one knows both the person and their ex and experienced the relationship first-hand. Everything else is just he-said, she-said. To me, it doesn't really matter who dumped who. What does matter to me is that the person has processed the relationship ending in a healthy way and is available emotionally for a new relationship.

Women cheat just as much as men do so don't go there.
Negative Nancy Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Women cheat just as much as men do so don't go there. i beg to differ
810 Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 The sex difference is that women found a man more attractive after learning he had dumped his last partner; however, men found a woman less attractive after finding out the same informationi'm gonna be bitter and state this: it's all about competition and pride. women found men more attractive after learning they had dumped their last partner because females are competitive, they automatically think if he is with me, that means I'm better than her. and for males it's pride thing, what if i'm not good enough and she will dump me like she did with the last guy. and vice versa. something along that line.
shayan Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 I think in my case, well I was in one relationship which I was recovering and a girl really ended up liking me during it. I however, couldn't like her, she fell in love with me and tried for us to stay. But I couldn't it just didn't work I was still in love with the last one and I hurt her alot. But now she's so much better and happy and going to become a doctor. So my advice don't date people who are still recovering look for people who are ready for love again, or atleast want to love again.
