Women are more emotionally attached.
Just throwing this out there for discussion.
I don’t believe anything of this crap anymore, but I am hearing this all the time! Especially from women…
Somehow a lot of people believe that women are more emotionally involved in relationships. Especially after sex, because women produce a certain hormone called
Oxytocin that is supposed to make them feel more attached to their partner. (Men produce this hormone too, but men are somehow less affected by it... I don’t remember why that is.) This is backed up by science, but how accurate is science anyway…
I have discussed this with some people now and usually the women go: “Yeah, but for a women there are all these emotions involved. Women become much more emotionally attached than men.” Yet, in my immediate environment it is mostly the women that end the relationships, leaving the men heartbroken... And the women are also usually the ones that find a new partner sooner.
Last week I was having a discussion about relationships with my best friend and his girlfriend. And she also said that women become more attached than men and that this is the reason why it is more difficult for women to have casual sex. Both me and my friend didn’t agree with her
. So I brought up: “What about prostitutes? They don’t become emotionally involved with their customers…”. To which she replied that a lot of prostitutes are forced into prostitution. Hmmm, I don’t know about that… A lot of them I guess, but certainly not all of them.
What about sluts? Gold-diggers? Women that get raped…? They don’t become attached to their rapist…?
When I was younger I used to fall in love all the time. Very deeply too. I had some bad crushes, but it left these girls I fell in love with completely cold. I fact I was the one that got emotionally attached, even
before sex.
Anyway…
Thoughts? Opinions?
