Don't flame me on this -- I am asking a sincere question. The men I have known seem to be able to turn their feelings on and off like a light switch.
My ex told me on a Wednesday that we would grow old together. On Friday he said he was outta here, he'd found someone else, goodbye.
My latest (10 month relationship) told me how much he cared, all the things we would do together, etc. A week later he told me he has changed and doesn't think he has time anymore.
How do you do it? Is it just staying detached? Is there a trick to turning your emotions on and off that quickly and being able to walk away without a backward glance?
Can I be frank? I'm seriously offended by the title of this post. (I'm a woman, BTW.) You are seriously asking for a flame-filled and eventually closed-down thread. If you really want an answer to the basic questions you listed in the post, you should probably change the title.
Wow, that would be like me starting a thread and asking, "Do all women have brown hair?" (Because I had only dated women with medium-brown hair, therefore blonds and brunettes don't really exist.)

Of course they do. But you cannot define them or understand them by female standards. You have to learn to understand how they work. It takes time and effort and a LOT of patience.
But if we did have feelings, our fathers would have taught us to suppress them by beating us anytime we might have let them surface when we were growing up.
