Why do men fall in and out out of love so easily, while women fall in and out of love so hard? guys, i appreciate honest answers. do you ever find yourself completely in love with a girl and after a while it goes away....why? do you think its because it wasn't really "love" to begin with, just infatuation....do you think it takes at least a certain amount of time with a person to really love someone?

Is that you in the picture when younger or now? How you doin'.... ;)

Love/out of love, depends. Love before dating is just infatuation, IMO. It's a strong feeling, though, much like love driven by some massive amounts of dopamines and adrenaline and other few wicked chemicals.

 

I think it may actually come down to chemical difference between men and women. Maybe women have a more long-lasting productions of serotonin, which is the most closely linked hormone to that wonderful feeling of dreaminess about the person.

 

Could also be psychological, since men after winning over a woman feel like it is "mission accomplished". That's just my guess.

:laugh: I got that picture off of google shes an actress I like.

 

You make some interesting points, although the whole "mission" shouldn't just be about getting somebody to like you or be with you, it should be about truly finding one person to care about you in this world as much as they care about themselves. One person that you know has your back and wants to make you happy. Everyone is so selfish and friends and even family can screw you over that I think that's what people look for in relationships and often times people lose sight of that.

It goes both ways. How many times do you hear about a man who thought he had a great relationship and the next week she goes completely cold?

Men tend to fall in and out of love more quickly because if a woman meets his physical requirements and isn't a complete weapon, he's generally quite happy. In other words our basis for loving someone is relatively simple and therefore quite replaceable.

 

Conversely, women usually have a shopping list of criteria so, whilst its harder for us as men to meet them, if we do there's a wider foundation in place for her love to endure.
