Do men fall in love quicker than women?

[buzzie2]

I found it very interesting when I recently read that men tend to fall in love quicker than women do. Do you agree with this statement or do you think it's false? And if you do agree with it, why?

There's no way to determine which gender falls in love quicker. It is even for all that we know.

OP,

 

Where did you read that guys fall in love sooner? I don't see that. In fact, my experience is that the ladies fall sooner, but that's just my experience. Perhaps the guys "fall in LOVE" sooner, but the ladies get, otherwise, emotionally invested (not love) sooner than guys?

 

Don't know....

Men fall in lust quicker.

 

Women fall in love quicker.

 

Generalizations of course, but...yeah.

My therapist told me that indeed men, on average, tend to fall in love faster than women. Women are often in love with the idea of having a boyfriend before being in love with the guy, that doesn't mean they fall in love.

I read that in the book Ten Stupid Things Men Do To Mess Up Their Lives. It was written in 1997 by Dr. Laura Schlessinger. She is a very popular doctor that has a radio show and has written many books.

I dont know about falling in love quicker But I do think women fall out of love quicker

I don't like Laura Schlessinger. She insists that women must stay home, which I completely disagree with, duuh, I have a career.

It sounds like a crazy generalisation and even if it's true I'm struggling to see any value in knowing it since, in a dating context, we're talking about just one man and just one woman who may or may not be close to this statistical norm.
