My last true love was two years ago. When we decided to go our separate ways, it was the most heart-shattering thing imaginable for me. It was terribly difficult to get over, and I still shed tears over him once in a blue moon. But I can honestly say that it was worth every tear because the relationship, while it lasted, brought me more joy than I have ever known with any other man.

No. I believe it's the other way around. It's worse to love and lose then to never love at all because if you've never loved how can you know what you've lost?
Yeah, I think it came from experiencing all that life has to offer as opposed to not experiencing life. I could go either way depending how I feel that day.

IS it better to have loved and lost? I've asked myself this more then once in my life. And I'm still not sure what the anwser is. Perhaps those of us who have loved and lost wouldn't be so damaged if we hadn't loved. We tend to carry our baggage from one relationship to the next. We put up our guard and refusing to let anyone in, or let them get close to us. We have become jaded and closed off. If you haven't loved you still see hope and a chance to be loved. Your tend to be more open towards the idea of it. I still can't say what's better to be honest, as you get older perhaps it's not better......

It absolutely is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. But unless you're just talking about yourself and not her loss, which I assume you are, her situation hasn't much to do with love. Her's is about bad choices.
I believe that everyone in our lives was put there for a reason, a season or a lifetime, but all have a purpose, even if it was painful to lose them. Even if you never recover from losing them.

I think you probably will hear more men say it's better to never have loved at all than women since men aren't supposed to be in touch with their touchy feely side.

So now more then likey your going to compare every man you meet to this guy. Sadly they are not going to compare and you or said guy will suffer for it.

Probably the same type of man who thinks appearing to be happy is more important than actually being. Hope that notion is helpful to them on cold, lonely nights when they want someone to love.

But if they haven't had anyone then they wouldn't know the difference. At some point would they not be better off not knowing?

Depends on how you look at it. If you're a 'glass half empty' sort of person, you might be better off not. But if you think life has a purpose and a direction, you learn from experiences and count your blessings, it's always better to have loved and lost....
