We've all heard of girls who "slut around" after they got dumped or rejected. Sometimes people just want to feel alive and have some human contact even if it's just meaningless sex.
If a guy wants the same thing and he's not really really good looking, yeah good luck buddy.

No, it is because they never loved in the first place. Their loss in a relationship is equivalent to getting in a car accident or losing a job. Meanwhile there's an old guy who takes a picture of his dead wife to her favorite restaurant to eat for 20 years.

This. We are, quite simply a job to them. Put some effort in (as little as possible) and get resources out.
Imagine a world of full employment where you could find a decent job in a week with little effort. Would you give a shit if you lost a job?

Never seen it described more accurately.

It's evolution. When your male mate dies, if you don't get over jt, you have no more children.

Being a girlfriend isn't analogue to being a boy friend. When you have a boyfriend you get -
-treated to dinner, drinks, movies, concerts, gifts, flowers, etc.
-a willing ear to listen to all of your complaints, criticisms, problems, and pains.
-someone to help you with things you're not strong enough or willing enough to do on your own.
-the passive recipient of affection, adoration, and sex - men do all of the labor in the bedroom. Women starfish and at one and the same time deem themselves as the sole arbiters of the quality of said sex.
-someone to make you laugh (women NEVER entertain men), care when you cry, and incessantly prove his worth to you.
When you get a girlfriend you get:
- the cost of dinner, drinks, movies, concerts, gifts, flowers, etc.
- an ear full of complaints, criticisms, problems, and pains; with never any reciprocation. The very moment you decide to vent problems, pains or criticisms, your deemed as weak. And, God forbid you want any adoration, praise, or affection. You're a MAN. She's not there to compliment you. What are you, GAY?
- the active effort of giving affection, adoration, and sex - which SHE will judge as to your success of pleasing her in just the right way, manner, and timing of said efforts.
-the constant need to play jester to her court. Tissue to her tears and live up to her never ending expectations of entitlement lest hypergamy rear its ugly head.
Why would a woman want to be absent of such benefits? It's not so much the trauma of getting over the man himself. It's the absence of benefits she's no longer the recipient of.

Well stated!

Well this should just be common sense. Unless you're woman or an 8 or above, you're not going to be drowning in pussy. So a more optical approach is going to bars or parties where you can find someone to hook-up with. Hell, even go to the gym and start working out, you'll be sure to find a couple of thots that wanna smash.
The most ill-conceived thing you can do after a relationship is jump on some dating website or start cold approaching every cute thing you see outside. It will only drive you deeper into the depression hole seeing little to no messages and only "curvy" women wanting you. But alas, the cycle will keep repeating itself.
As for the guy who this is about, he needs to stop getting angry about it and start focusing on his own happiness. He'll be the type that lets the next one up wreck him again though. You can see how angry he is over this whole concept.
Remember gentlemen, if you choose to have an ltr or even a marriage, make sure you have an extra plate. Girls love being jealous. If you keep someone around that they see you talking to and hanging out with, they will want to keep you.
As always though, it's just so much easier to GYOW and not bother with the headaches and heartaches of maintaining a relationship.

Women don't usually emotionally invest since they are used to already being approached all the time without putting in any great effort

Lemme get over you and under someone else in <a week while your mental anguish lasts possibly decades.

I agree, they can just go anywhere and just have to say yes or no.

This comes up a lot but I actually think it affects women more than men after a break up, especially in the long run. Otherwise why would their n count increasing affect the happiness of their future marriage so greatly?
