That’s why when a guy breaks up with a girl she will ask, “Who is she? Do I know her.”

Maybe the insecure ones who can’t be alone. The ones with self esteem will drop a craphead without needing another guy. Not all women need a guy to survive. I know plenty of women who don’t need a guy

Yes it's TRUE even though politically incorrect and sexist to say

The one major breakup ("lifelong" [to that point] connection, longest time span) I've had in my life, I didn't get with another man seriously for about another five years. I don't always fall for "sayisms" or "truisms," but I really do believe that most women can get along without a man better than the opposite situation. I just think it's about women being more the "nurturer." (Lots of quotation marks here.) I know, I know, not all men/women are the same, but I still think that, for the most part, it's true...

Every guy (except one) who has broken up with me, did so once they had someone else lined up.

I have never done it. I prefer to take a break, stay single, heal and reflect for a bit.

So obviously, based on the replies, both genders do it. It's an individual thing, not a gender thing.

Nothing obvious about it l've seen it time and time again in people l know or hear about.

You could say though that obviously not every single woman goes that way but l'm 50s and can't actually think of one that didn't .

I've never had someone else lined up when breaking up with a guy. I've also not seen any of my girlfriends have another guy lined up before breaking up with their boyfriends. My only experience has been that myself and my friends have spent a decent amount of time alone after each relationship to feel comfortable with the idea of dating again instead of rushing into another relationship again like guys all seem to do rather often.
