We have seen it happen all around us. From celebrities to the guy you have been dating, all seem to have one thing in common. They all manage to move on quite fast while we sit around moping and weeping for them. Here are some of the reasons why guys seem to move on quickly.

Social conditioning
One can very conveniently blame the social conditioning that we all are given as we are growing up. Just like it most women believe that shedding tears when you get dumped is quite the acceptable thing to do, a man cannot be expected to do the same. He has his macho image to protect.

Appearance
A man also has to “appear” to be in control and fine at all times. It is again his conditioning and ego that makes him want to have a controlled and calm exterior. But since most people want to see through that he begins to date and exhibit that he’s moving on.

Coping mechanism
Both the genders have their own set of coping mechanisms. While women sit at home and cry men go out and get drunk. In all of this it seems that the guy is already moving on while the woman suffers silently.

Focus on the “tough” image
A man has to protect his tough image with religious fervor. It is an integral part of his being which he cannot allow to tarnish. In order to keep up his tough image a man portrays that he is moving on even though he might be hurting badly inside.

Fear
Men fear that people will see their vulnerability. While they do want some of the emotional time off they also fear that if they do so their vulnerable side will be exposed and all will see his insecurities and fears.

Emotional immaturity
Emotional immaturity also plays a big role in guys moving on quickly. A lot of men go by their primal instincts where they feel that they have to mate as many times as possible so that their existence is substantiated. These emotionally unstable men cannot be in relationships for long and also move on very fast since they are never really tied down to someone truly.

The pressure to prove
A lot of men also move on very fast because they want to prove to those near to them their desirable status. By replacing an ex very fast they are just trying to show their connection with their ex was easily replaceable and that he needs no time to grieve.
