I was talking to a single gentleman who has been without a girlfriend since 6 or 7 years since his marriage, while his wife had no problem finding someone within a year. I dunno, but when you find this out, do you get a bit jealous that they found someone so quickly? Kind of goes to show how a former's partner's love life is more active than yours I guess?

Nope


I've also found whether someone has a GF/BF and how active their sex lives are are often not related at all.


But I say, your posts are really fascinating, I seriously can not ever remember asking a dude I'm not super close friends with how their dating life is. This seems to happen a lot with you. It's very curious.

The only time I would care about such a relationship would be if there were children/grandchildren involved. You all become family when there are children connected to every person in a blended family.





I would not spend any time thinking about the "love life" of my former spouse.

My very consistent observation through life has been that it's the guys who quickly pick up on a new gf, while the women stay single for a couple of years or more, until they meet someone they click with. Men's "needs" are more urgent than women's. Women can wait for a compatible partner, and quite a few women don't really have the option of picking up a new partner in the short-term, anyway. Contrary to popular belief, many women don't have men lining up to date them.

In the OP's case, "talking with" = posting online with. He explained that a few threads ago.

I never asked him about his sex life. Also, he volunteered this information. It came up organically. When single people are among other single people at a Meetup, it's a pretty common thing.

I knew of one guy that admitted that he recently signed his divorce papers.

True, it probably goes back and forth.

I have to beg to differ on that. Just do online dating and women's inboxes are filled.

This is an evolutionary adaptation by the female sex.. it shouldn't really be taken personally.. moving on quickly to a degree is wired into a female's DNA. Why? Because they were constantly being invaded by neighboring tribes that would kill off all the males. The only way they could deal with that emotional trauma and survive to pass on their genes was to be able to move on quickly, and be able to manipulate the males who are now in charge.. thus women tend to generally speaking be more manipulative, and move on more easily.

Of course there are men who are also quite manipulative and move on easily as well, because when it comes to evolution there really are no concrete black and whites, but in general women tend to have this trait a bit more. In particular they will fall out of love with "weak" men very quickly.. it's confidence that really triggers their release of oxytocin which is why so many of them will go for exciting or "bad" men especially when they are young, even when they are consciously aware that it's going to bite them in the butt.

This is a pretty good video on the differences between masculine and feminine energy.

If you're going to promote fake evo-science, at least frame it in the right context. A woman in this case would need protection from being raped and murdered by invaders, so yeah, she might want to seek the protection of another man. That you see it as uncaring manipulation and not as a desperate need for safety is interesting.

No because I do not compare my life to other peoples, this is a most common trap and does not add anything of use to your life.
