Multi Study analysis shows it’s men who crave romantic relationships more.

You'll notice that most of the article takes the actual conclusion of the studies, that men are more romantic, and spins it into the typical bullshit you hear over and over.

So despite the study saying the opposite, the article reiterated all the bullshit we hear over and over that men are lonely, have no friends, rely more on their wife, and really; that we get anything at all from marriage when data shows literally the opposite time and time again.

It's really insidious and really vile.

The True Romantics

It is men who are the real romantics. It’s men who are the imaginative ones when it comes to romance, and all in an effort to provide a woman with the romantic experiences she says she wants. Romance is what Men perceive it to be for women.

The article doesn't go into detail about their methodology, but I wonder how much of this comes from the fact that young men are significantly less likely to be in romantic relationships than young women. If I recall correctly, around half of men between 18 and 29 are single while about a third of women in the same age group are. Between the ages of 30 and 49, the gap is slightly smaller, but women are still significantly more likely to be in relationships.

Therefore, men in relationships are cognizant of the facts that they were (a) less likely to be in a relationship before their female partner, and (b) are less likely to find a new relationship should their current one end. This is supported by behavioral differences post-breakup, where childless women are far more likely to be with a new partner within six months (see: monkey branching, cock carousel).

The fact men are less likely to initiate breakups doesn’t mean men enjoy relationships more. It’s long been shown women file for divorce twice as much as men, which should come as no surprise given women gain financially by divorce at men’s expense.

Other studies show that when women split, they often have their eyes on something else they perceive as better. Many studies show women are frustrated with dating and slow to commit because they can’t date up as much as they’d like. Again, women tempering their dating desire with their desire to find a good provider doesn’t mean they crave romantic relationships less. It’s just that there are other factors influencing their relationship choices.

Shocking. Its like the argument my wife and I had today about me wanting to hang together for valentine’s day vs her wanting to watch netflix is related to this, but that can’t be

I thought that was a manospherian conspiracy theory /s.

Most of romance mostly reminds me of childhood.

My parents couldn't stop braying on about how much more I'd respect something if I bought it myself vs if it was given to me. It just makes me wonder how Selective you have to be as a human being to not apply that statement relatively.

The person who wants it more hurts more. Plain. The girl who wants the super hot dude and snuck out to a party or had him drive her there from school is going to miss that more than some random guy who kissed her feet to the podium. Just the same as a guy who actually gets the girl he wants is going to care more than for the girl who wanted him.

It just happens less often so it looks like guys love better or more. It should also hint at how much more of an investment it is. If you've got the bill most of the time, the sunk cost fallacy is something you're likely going to be familiar with. Start over? Or deal with the hand you have?

“The key takeaway is “that we all need to feel embedded in a supportive network of relationships,” Visserman says. She adds that it’s wise to invest in relationships beyond romantic partnerships—both to have a support system when a romantic relationship goes through a rough patch or ends and to meet various emotional needs.”
