why do men rebound after break-ups?

That's a man thing anyway so no wonder why most of them do the rebound.

Only for LUST trust me...

Because they think it is the best way to cope up. They are more selfish in any sense, but they do not admit it. They do not take their time to wallow unlike what girls do when they are hurt. Guys are egoistic and they cannot take break ups, that is why they would tend to find a full back or extra to lessen the idea that they are not the losing. In truth and in fact, they are losers and immature.

is true^^ i agree that some guys do that sadly. anyway you know we girls usually fall easier than guys so if a guy we love leaves us we be too sad and cry but after some time we feel better^^ but guys dont fall in love so easy so when they do is bcs they really love that person so much so being dumped really affects them. thats why i think that when they have a big heartbreak they feel they should also hurt girls bcs of what one did to them. i know is stupid and selfish of them but they are hurt and cant think clearly. so sometimes i feel sorry for those guys actually. but sure i dont agree with what they do. they should see that bcs of what one girl did doesnt mean that we are all the same and they can be dating a girl now that really loves them and they are using her and she gets hurt. and is like they are doing the same that girl that hurt them did. also hurting someone that really loved them. so thats why i think guys do that :) they cant think too much clear like us and they follow their hurt heart instead of think they are hurting someone that doesnt deserve it.

Well I feel that break ups make a man serious about there relationship as they don't want to lose their love again and they don't want to lose the love they are getting from their lover and he becomes caring to his partner and love her more so that she doesn't eave him....

I agree, I know some of the guys who acted like that after a tragic break ups,some of them came from a long relationship. But I dont generalize all men,this is just based on the person I know. After a break up from a long relationship he doesn't want to go on a serious relationship anymore, he just wants to play around,date but no commitments. Maybe it makes him hard to trust again and he is still on a denial stage,he still cant accept the fact that he lost his girlfriend.

I don't think that only men do this because I've tried it in the past. I was miserable and depressed. I always thought that having a rebound relationship could fix everything but I was wrong.

Hi annemellanie,Its not that the men do it even the women also do it and I am afraid when it happens its a total mesh,after if we take a situation when a men come out of the first affair and looks for the second,then it is also happening with the girls also the first girl is also going to look for the second affair,therefore its a complicated and a vicious circle where both the partners are equally responsible,to the society after all there must be some sort of unfulfilled/unsatisfied/unhealed wound which was never given due healing period. Again its totally uncalled on the part "less serious relationships but very physical one" can any one on this whole universe make us believe that the men will not be physical,its impossible and ridiculous to think of it in that way,one have to take it into an account when ever there is a relationship it has to be both way traffic,nothing in this world is a single entity by itself.....to prove it to be so it requires the other half or the opposite force:Ultimately Co-exiting is the norm of LIFE Happy mylotting and Mutual Understanding.

Some people just can't handle being alone. unfortunately, a lot of men don't take a break up well. They need to be with someone to feel better about themselves. this usually results in the rebound relationship.

not true you saying this but some man do and if happen like that coz its make some man is hate you nature of women is glamor and matrealistis you have it even you say not but the property is more then important or some new guy has same nature just like you , thats is , sorry .. all the man loved women if the women accept what is he is in this world not for fantasy only .

easy to say hard to do...if he's a good liar how you realise that he only wants to use you? it's normal that after a relationship in which feelings were involved, you aren't able to love someone again that easy. so it's not a thing that men do...women do it too..maybe not at that level...but...what I can say that it happened to me. after loving someone I can't seem to find another guy that i like as much as I liked the previous one.

There are guys who do that because they are just not ready to settle down and they're probably too hurt and hasn't moved on. Sometimes women are taking the opportunity to be with the guys they like even if they know that they'd just end up getting used. If no one allows herself to be used, no one would be using them too.
