Why is that so? Or do the male dumpees hardly speak up?

I don't think there are necessarily more women than men dumped... but I think women typically need to talk stuff out to work thru it... so we hear their stories more than we hear the guys side of this...

I think there will almost always be more women on a board like this hoping to get input, reassurance and have someone new to talk to about the issues until they can get them resolved... that's sure as heck why I'm here... plus there is anonymity here to say ANYTHING that needs to be said... don't necessarily want to tell all my friends everything, as wonderful as they are...

I think it's the site too.... I visit another site where it seems more males post about their breakup and heartbreak.

Yeah, I think plenty of guys get dumped, too, they are just pragmatic enough to chalk it up to, "well she wasn't the one." Women have to agonize over the fact that maybe he WAS the one... etc. etc. I know that's how I am, anyway!!
