The correct way to ask your questions would be: 1. "Do men know what real love is?" 2. "Why are men not affected by separation?" 3. "Why can they change their partner easily?" To answer your question: The fact that some men change partners easily just reinforces the fact that the SAME men *ARE* affected by separation! To me, it seems there must be a "hole" they are looking to fill. ......and how did that "hole" get there to begin with? If a man does not mind being alone, he'll be alone. Otherwise, he will spend most of his life looking for (or attempting to replace) his one true love. The sad truth is that men and women alike often have unrealistic expectations of each other. There is no replacement for true love. Unfortunately, to someone who is narcissistic, no one will ever be good enough. You do not want to love a man like that.

generalisations are rarely true.

I don't think this happens because men are so you say they are. I estimate, it looks like this because men tend to make an appearance as though they are hard and tough. It actually is closer to the truth that men and women are much more similar than different. We all just play roles imposed on us by Mother Nature.

i think this is because they understand that life is too short to spend it regretting after past love and that it is better to move onto something new, better, more exciting and more interesting. and i think we women should learn from them and behave like that as well. :)

I'd read a newspaper article recently describing how men are not only affected by a breakup, but they handle it worse than women. I remember the theory had to do with women expressing how they feel, whereas men bottle up (in several ways..heh). It's a generalisation, but food for thought anyway. :)
