Do men love harder than women in a relationship?

If they were dating someone, but not in love, they were much more likely to break things off or act like an ass until the woman broke it off.

I watched multiple male friends do a total 180 as soon as they found their future wife. Women see every man they date as a potential husband.

Wow. Too real.

Men are much more likely to remarry afterward (searching for a new woman), women are much more likely to remain single, despite having comparatively greater options. Men have been observed to say "I love you" much earlier in a relationship than women. Men will go to work and toil away to have a wife who stays home- you'd be hard pressed to find a woman who would do the reverse.

Marriage is a better deal for men.

That is hysterical considering how many women are on permanent vacations due to their husbands financial support.

Nothing on earth compares to a mother's love for a child. But in terms of relationships? Women are just not that intense. Men, on the other hand, are.

Men when they really fall in love fall hard. There is nothing they wouldn't do for a woman they love. They are idealistic and romantic.

Women aren't capable of true idealistic love. They fall in love the the highest status man that crosses their path and often trade up when a richer guy shows interest. Watch the movie Blue Valentine. It shows this dynamic well.

It's testosterone fueled sex drive that some men mistake for love. No, women will never feel anything as powerful as male sex drive. Most men who have BTDT with experience playing the field recognize the difference.

Women are capable of it but they direct it towards their children, not their romantic partners. That desperate love a woman feels for her kids is like what men feel towards their partners

Women file for divorce because they actually put work into a marriage. When you work, work, work and the other person is just sitting there with their balls out not actively working on the problem you get frustrated and decide it's time to move on.

Whereas men are content to have their woman putting in all the work because from his view all is fine. Why would men file for divorce except for if his ego becomes bruised (wife cheated), if he found a whore to be his new wife, or his current wife is legit dangerous. Otherwise men are like dogs- happy to wag their tails. That doesn't make men more loving or moral. Get over yourselves.

I half agree with you but its simpler. Men are easier to please. It's not that they love oh so deeply. Just that if there is food and sex and peace, they are content. Women need more, hold grudges more, have higher standards for emotional compatibility.

Women file for 70% of divorces because they not only view men as ATMs but they wipe their asses with their marriage vows.

That was nothing like my marriage, which was one long list of demands from my exDW. As each demand was satisfied, two more took its place.

Mmmm. You are in the extreme minority, to put it mildly.

Have you read Persuasion? Same question gets asked by Jane Austin and not fully answered. Both genders feel their sex has the lock on feeling more deeply.

Your statement isn't true in any obvious way. Extreme minority?
