My friend kept on telling me that men do not fall in love. Men find it hard to be emotionally attached to a woman, and that love is only lust for them. I have no idea what made her say that since she doesn't have a bf yet.
I was wondering if there is anybody elkse who felt this way, too.

I think my husband would argue with you on that one. In fact, I read your post out loud to him and he said "WHAT??"
Men are just as capable of love as women are. Love is part of being a human being, and if you aren't capable of love, there's something seriously wrong with you, regardless of gender.
I have met both men and women who seemed to care far more about lust than love, but that's a matter of what your priorities are at the moment, not a matter of gender.

I don't agree with what ur friend is saying, but i think there may be a point in it. I think men fall in love and express it differently to women. Women generalyy show love in a more obvious way , more the hearts and flowers typr thing, where as a man will show his love more subtlely, by being there, taking what you throw at them, protecting you. Also men may take more time to become emotionally attatched, maybe because of fear, the fact they can see commitment as an end to thier batchelor lifestyle that they were content with until they found someone to challenge that. Where as most women love the thought of being in a secure relationship.
I guess thats just the difference between the sexes.

Cmon now carol_m..........even men are humans......they also have heart......they also have feelings and they also get hurt.......so its not right to say that. Men do fall in love. Its just hard for the men to show that they are in love. For women it can be easily seen as its hard for them to hide their emotions but most of the men tend to keep their emotions and feelings to themselves. Although they dont want to hide themselves but they do so.
Its a basic nature of all the men.....this is what is there in me. But saying that "men dont fall in love" i totally disagree with it.

im sorry to say this but your friend is stupid. i can tell just by the way that she talks that no guy will ever fall in love with her. she is probably saying that because she doesn't have the personality that guys love, and no guy has ever fell for her before.

the truth hurts but hey i was just adding my 2 cents. i knew plenty of girls that were like that. and most of it was the fact that guys didn't like their attitude or personality.

and to add on top of that. your friend could be the most beautiful girl on this planet. but with a bad attitude and personality she is ugly. i didn't mean she was "ugly" physically.

i disagree with ur friend, not all men are like that . there are few who still regards love as an emotional attachment to someone. but maybe ur friend categorizes the men in general in what she sees and hear.

Maybe she's a man-hater sort of or maybe she's a lesbian... haha! Just kidding. . . But seriously, men do fall in love just like women. I dont agree with your friend. Well, better for her to fall in love real soon for her to realize that men do fall in love. Anyway, take care. (",)

I beg to disgree with your friend. Men do fall in love-if he's brother do not talk about falling in love then he's brother might not really be a MAN.
She can look around, what about his dad? Isn't he in love with her mom?
she can say "some men don't fal in love" but not all men.

That seems like a bitter comment -- has she been burned badly in the past by men? Or known someone who has, like a parent or close friend?

we do fall inlove, but in some times, in some areas i should say, we do not. for me i enjoy the NO STRING attached sayings.. No commitment at all, you have any problem in the end, ( this is only valid if your partner has also the same thinking as you do, so make a wise choice on your partner.)

Hi there. I definetly disagree with what your friend kept on telling you. To say that men do not fall in love, is classing all men, which is wrong... Personally speaking my husband and I have been together for 14 years and we are very much in love, and the more we experience and share, which we do, we become even more closer towards each other... I also know that we have a unique relationship, because not all married couples are as happy and lucky as we are... This is my belief that all men are definetly not like the men your friend meets, that there are good caring and geniune men out there... Have a good one...

I was in a long relationship with a women I met in college, we got married and had two kids I could not have been more happy, that is when she left me, after that I have found it hard to fall in love because I don't want to get hurt again.

Men find it hard to be emotionally attached to a woman because they are afraid that maybe they are being fooled or played around. It is not because of LUST but its a matter of TRUST. Lack of trust to your partner will find it very difficult in facing the world because you one will feel that they are the ones that keep figthing for the relationship.

Well, your friend is right to some degree. Men don't love like woman do. Men are very visual species and do "fall in lust". Men think they fall in love but they are really conditioned to love the chase. Once a man gets the woman he wants, he gets bored. It's that simple. You have to keep finding ways to keep the love alive. Don't get me wrong..I have been happily married for 20 years but there have been times when my husband has crossed the line. I have had to put my ego aside and figure out why this happens. I have always had a motto in life when it comes to being in a relationship..."never get too comfortable"..because the minute you do, your man will lose interest. You always have to work on the relationship and leave some mystery to you. It's sad, but unless you find some guy who is just an all-around loser schmuck, men will always confuse lust for love..... and when physical contact with another woman is involved, Love has nothing to do with it. Your man can love you deeply, but he will always lust for other women. You have to play the game, no matter how long you are with someone, once the honeymoon is over.
