Men are said to be from Mars and women from Venus. No wonder their reaction to a problem in hand is absolutely diverse. Women are known to be born hoarders while men love to move on to the next shiny, new thing that they lay their eyes on. That is probably the reason why women still believe in giving any relation that 'one last chance' as opposed to a man, who knows exactly when to call quits. And when they do so, they are less likely to be caught staring at the picture of their ex on their cell phone. Sweep it under the carpet It's not that guys are better at handling breakups. They are just definitely more prone to sweeping the issue under the carpet. But could this be because women are more emotional or just because they don't hide their true feelings? Rajiv Nair, a media professional, feels, "No man will ever admit that he is heartbroken. That will make him seem like a loser. Women on the other hand are alright with expressing their emotions. They have an image to live up to. And they can't let people see that something can affect them a lot." Can't let go Women who love keeping things can't never let go of anything. Ankita Shastri, a HR personnel, says, "Have you ever seen a guy who has collected greeting cards, movie tickets, etc.? Also, men have their 'stud' value to consider. Many women probably hope to revive their last relationship till they realise that they have fallen for someone else. While men, on the other hand, shut the doors firmly on their relationship and get ready to knock on another one. They are macho beings and have no problem moving on, or so they would like everyone to believe." Bonding with buddies Men tend to have strong bonds with their male buddies whil women tend to lose out on their girlfriends if they are in a relationship. That is probably why guys get over their relationships and are ready to move on faster than women. "How many married women go out for a girl's night out? But men continue with their bonding sessions at bowling alleys and over a few drinks even after marriage. Many women centre their lives around a relationship and when a vacuum is created, they close their mind to anything new coming their way," points out Priyanka Shanbag. Move on This is the term which is used to tell a person that the past is now done with and it's time to look ahead. But like most things, its easier said than done.
