So how do you men usually cope with a breakup, do you quickly go and find yourself a new girl or do you spend some time recovering? Depends on how the break up occurred. I had a particularly bad break up from a long term relationship with a high school sweetheart. It kind of illuminated me on the nature of women and relationships in general, though any idiot looking from the outside could tell that I was a dumb teenager too influenced by Disney movies and romantic happy endings. Probably still am today since I'm in a happy relationship that I'm hopeful will go the distance. But I coped with that particular break up by switching university courses from journalism to I.T since we were both enrolled in journalism together. I was truly shattered for a while until a friend of mine urged me to hang out at the uni bar and go clubbing in the CBD in hopes of picking up and getting in his words "cheap sex". Drinks are expensive as fuck, I got his meaning wasn't literal but it wasn't cheap you lying fa ggot. In any case, it took me a while to get used to casual hookups but I had a bit of success and a string of relationships that lasted 2-3 months. Nothing particularly special because I wasn't very invested emotionally. It was a "she's hot, let's see where this goes... Oh, I don't see a future with her at all, back to square one" kind of thing. So when those relationships broke down, I didn't really waste any time trying to get back on the horse. I'm pretty disillusioned with the whole casual sex and dating scene now. I'm not the kind of guy who has ever drowned in pussy and I never will so I don't mean it in the sense that I've fucked a mountain of women or anything, far from it. Probably didn't even get into double digits. Just that, to a very large extent, I regret ever getting into it. Whole thing can be very dehumanising. But it gave me a smidgeon of self confidence and the view not to treat women any differently to men. Society likes to paint women as amazing creatures that ought to be protected and safeguarded but they're just guys with a different equipment sets for sex. And because of that experience, I can see why the likes of Seb and Hanar view women as disposable flings. It's quite obviously chauvinistic and perhaps misogynistic. But I'm sure they'd respond to those accusations with "so what?". There are plenty of women out there who just want to play around, "experiencing" relationships without taking on the committment and obligations involved in actual long lasting relationships. Not sluts, but millions upon millions of women who see men as disposable experiences as well. Peas in a pod. That's the world we live in. /rant
