Breakups can be messy. But once the dust has settled, there may be a gender difference in how fondly previous partners are perceived.
It is no stretch to say that breakups are a difficult and messy affair. But who might be quicker to bounce back, men or women?Science. A team of psychologists led by Ursula Athenstaedt of the University of Graz in Austria examined the extent to which men and women viewed past romantic partners in a favorable light. Interestingly, they found that men viewed their exes more positively than women.
To come to this conclusion, the researchers recruited 295 individuals to participate in a short survey. To qualify for the survey, individuals had to be in a heterosexual relationship for at least four months and have an ex-partner with whom their relationship lasted for at least four months. Moreover, the past relationship could not have ended more than five years ago.
difference emerged. They found that it did: Men were significantly more likely than women to rate their ex-partner more favorably.
