Men are like THIS and women are like THAT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA. Gets me every time!!
Your sarcasm is noted.
I still love your blog more than chocolate. Which means I love it a lot. Since I am a woman. And women love chocolate.
But in all seriousness, I <3 SK.
love love love. sooooo goooooood.
I'm dealing with this now and this is how it is. Dammit.
Haters gon' hate (first anonymous) but this is realistically how it often seems to go. Spot on, Anna
When it comes to me, the break up day is usually a very solemn day for me, not a party I'm free kinda day. Unless the gals a complete loon.
@Christopher thanks for sharing!
Scenes two and three for the women should be them slutting it up. False sass is a tell-tale sign of a need for affirmation. Women on the mend are easy.

You're a misogynist. And a dick.
I know. I rolled my eyes at that comment too. Lame!
Does anyone know where the first women picture is from? the blonde one sliding down the wall? i feel like its from a movie and i just kinda wanna know. idk anyone? also if i posted this twice srry.
This is funny. Quit whining.
i think its lindsay lohan in her videoclip when she tried to be a singer...
Is this so silly or what? Men recover so much faster than women in "breakup cases". Check out which sex suffers the most in divorces.
Although I would hasten to say I, myself, would shed a few tears if I lost that hottie in the last frame.
BUHAHAHAHAHA
^ I resent that. Divorce is different from a break up because there is financial involvement and the break up of assets. Also, there are a lot of negative stigmas attached to divorced women. So in the case of a divorce I can see how women could possibly suffer more but if you think about a regular break up women definitely have the advantage.
We can walk into a bar and pick any man in the room and make conversation, get his phone number or sleep with him if we choose to. Men on the other hand have to go through handfuls of women before they get the 'go ahead.' It's a lot easier for women to rebound or meet new people to date. From my experience, men always come crawling back around the 5 week period and it's ALWAYS too late.
When men are sexist its a bad thing.
When women do it they get their own stand up special.
Everyone handles break ups differently. It usually is determined way more by who gets dumped than gender.
this awesome goood. woman bad ppl
Lol sexism and bias.

Thats more a reflection on you and the type of person you go out with than all men.
I think the first woman Lindsay Lohan, you know - back when she still had a career.
MAN BAD, WOMAN GOOD, FOOD TASTY
I wish I could some how show my love for the first comment
Couldn't agree more with comment #1.
What a load of unfunny sexist crap this is. Women take break-ups as bad as men. Ask any guy who's had his clothes cut tp shreds and posted on a sexual disease web site......
Dude, you are taking this WAAAAAY too seriously. I mean, come on! It's a Lost gif for crying out loud!
That's what you get for making a generalized and sextist joke on the internet, Anna.
Either stand by it or don't do it at all, but don't marginalize it by telling people to stop taking it 'waaaaay to seriously.'
Well, we'll have to agree to disagree there, Bob. No big whoop!
Funny, but not accurate at all.
I liked the part with the moving pictures
haha, just came back to see that OMGWTF do people not know that this is a comedy blog about dating? comedy ~sometimes~ treads on touchy subjects and makes light of it because IT'S FUNNY!!! (see chris rock and his "n-word" bit).
i lol'd and lol'd, because it's funny, not necessarily because it's been scientifically proven as fact.
rock over london, rock on chicago.
I basically agree with everyone who said break up reactions don't necessarily have to do with gender.
"Men are like THIS and women are like THAT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA. Gets me every time!! "
Was exactly how I felt about this. Stop perpetuating tired cliches.
this is great and true women always talk about more crap than needed and men just tell you who, what, when, and where. LMFAO
It was funny but I don't see why you're surprised people are telling you how sexist you are. Because, you know, this is pretty sexist. I thought it was great though.
wow! people need to calm down and stop needing to be so PC! it's ok to laugh at something funny, like this blog post.
its usually only guys with vaginas that will be upset that long after a break-up. Relationships come and go so frequently nowadays, there is nothing special to them anymore
What the pictures actually look like:
MEN
1st one: Guy is actually upset, just brushing it off.
2nd: Guy just needs more beer.
3rd: Guy hasn't gotten laid in 5 weeks and is crawling back.
WOMEN
1st: Ecstasy chick rubbing herself against a wall.
2nd: Bored as shit.
3rd: Acid trip.
So, what did we learn from this?
Men hide their sadness, get drunk, and then cry when they can't get a piece.
Women do drugs, have a down period, and then do more drugs.
Your blog has been quite 'informative'!
"Men are like THIS and women are like THAT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA. Gets me every time!! "
Was the most intelligent thing that's been said.
This is tired, and dull.
if a guy posts this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZRflz-93JA
its misogynistic. if a woman posts the above, it just isn't funny. i think that's why there are so many men on here pissed off, just because this gif collection is so damn stupid.
SOOOOOo TRUE
"False sass is a tell-tale sign of a need for affirmation. Women on the mend are easy"
It's sad how true this statement is.
Uhmmm, yeah. Never mind the fact that it's generally women who are highly (I'm trying to refrain from using the word "overly") emotional, as a result of which they are generally the ones that whine and sob a lot longer than the average male during and/or after a break up. Creating a series of animated GIFs that try to contradict this gem of common knowledge is quite pathetic and - sadly - not funny at all (and "no", ladies, it's not the case that I think this is not funny because I am a man; I think it's not funny because - in general - this is simply not true. Period). But while you're at it, why don't you create and/or try to find a series of animated GIFs that document - oh, I don't know - the well-known "fact" that women are - on average - physically stronger than man. Oh, wait...
I stopped reading after, "Uhmmm, yeah."
Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father) - Lindsay Lohan
that is what the first women image is from.
Don't listen to 'em Anna. As a guy who just went through a big breakup which basically looked JUST LIKE the above gif series, I found this hilarious.
It's not sexist, it's comedy. It's funny. This is the first entry I saw on the blog and it won me over immediately. Don't listen to the haters, their internet comedy is just a bunch of cats falling down.
...it also made me feel better to have a good laugh at myself. :)
Thanks, Colin! Glad you got a kick out of it. It still makes me laugh!
This comic is so true.
All of you folks crying "cliche," "dull," and "sexist" need to take your thumb out of your asses. Cliches generally exist for a reason, as do stereotypes. Get over it and have a laugh. I'm a man. Men are portrayed as lazy, horny, incompetent, clumsy, insensitive, and unintelligent, and you know what? I'm fine with that. It's funny. Especially because I know I'm not, and when somebody meets me expecting the stereotype, they'll be pleasantly surprised. Stop crying foul when a joke doesn't mean your level of "sophistication." Racism, sexism, farts, toilet humor, and the like are funny, might as well embrace them and take a little joy in the fact that for the most part, they're harmless and most of us are exceptions to the "rule." Holy crap mellow out and enjoy life a little.
It's very obvious that this was posted by a girl.
men socialize by insulting each other, but they don't really mean it.
women socialize by complimenting each other, but they don't really mean it either.
So Men are impulsive but ultimately deep and loving and humane when the realise the error of separation from their love, while Women are offended by the process of being dumped, but ultimately selfish and heartless and ready for a new relationship with a qualm or care for their ex-partner?
Bit harsh on women I think, but I guess so.....
itt: butthurt men being butthurt
hit a little too close to home dohohoho
Well when i ended things with my last girlfriend, I only felt break up day, break up day, break up day, a couple months later, i still feel like break up day.
I hope this is true...
Lol, this was interesting. Though not necessarily true. I read through many of these comments out of curiosity and found a lot of ignorance on both sides. Let me put it this way. Girls suck. But so do guys. It seems to me that the girls and guys of genuine worth need to do a better job of finding each other.
wait a minute!this isnt riverdale?
with all this dated sexist bullshit you can see how i was mistaken
As far as accuracy, the only thing it really seems to be saying is that only women get broken up with. Meaning that these arguments are incredibly irrelevant. Racing in the special Olympics.
these comments were funnier than the original post, girls are better, noooo guys are better, rabble rabble rabble
Yawn... yet another 'men bad women good' post. Face it ladies, you know this is so false, but hey, whatever it takes to delude your pain and induce the self-pity you crave so much.
Obviously, a woman made this. So inaccurate.
I like all the people bitching.
It's a humor piece. Get a sense of humor, or get the fuck out. Thanks~
[Insert snarky remarks intending to make myself sound more intelligent and mature than everyone on here while berating the inaccuracy of the post or the lack of sense of humor of the readers; remarks that unfortunately no one except people like me with no lives who read through all the comments while eating a bowl of popcorn, wishing someone would do a dramatic reading of them, will even ever see.]
Kudos to everyone on here for helping me kill 15 minutes of my day at work.
And Anna, hilarious.
What's the second clip with the beer from?
more likely....
men break up day one (same)
day two (starts hitting on all ex girlfriends other female friends)
By end of week one (has nailed at least two of them. mentally comparing the sex to what they got from the ex).
By week 2 gets bored with that set of friends dumps them all and goes and finds new girl (nails her for a while then when bored dumps her. REPEAT AS DAY TWO.....
Sadly if a girl does this she's considered a ho slut skank etc.....
men just say "don't hate the player, hate the game".
some guys think of women as being like rollercoasters. Ya we might wait a while to ride it and the anticipation is usually better than the ride. After a while though the ride gets boring and it's time to move on.
From my experience I have only crawled back for sex. It was more of I want to have sex with you not I want to have a relationship with you....Women are easy, give them what they want for a night and then your in balls deep. Just sayin=)
i bet the only thing you goes balls deep in is a warm melon. just saying.
love the SNL gif, btw.
The Woman one is wrong:
Break Up Day: Facebook post to all her guy friends that she is single.
Week Later: She is banging her guy friend.
Month Later: She comes back to you pregnant and says its yours.
Troll it or Hate it, dont care.
Mmmyeah,
This is bullshit. Good for you on making yourself feel better after the last guy dumped your crazy ass. To be accurate for the guy, just repeat gif #1.
Where is that accurate gif from?
To the anon who wanted to know where the blonde sliding down the wall was from, it's from Heroes. Character name of Ell. Shoots electricity and all that.
This is so true :D
i cry over shitty movies. i even cry over those motivational ads. but i never cried about the loss of a woman... in my experience the women may be onto it earlier, but the sadness stays with both parties
HAHAHA Omg, women need to stop using movies/magazines as your bible for relationships. You WISH it was like this. Seriously, in reality the men won't even remember your name after a month. I'm so sorry you're THIS naive. This has to be one of those 12 year old's posts or something because this is just ridiculous. And for those who said, "We can walk up into any bar and pick out a man". True, some of you can, but you only feel like a dirty slut later, which is what you are if that's how you go about things. Once again, I'm truly, truly sorry, that you believe this is true.
"men socialize by insulting each other, but they don't really mean it.
women socialize by complimenting each other, but they don't really mean it either."
Well said, but fuck all to do with this!
LOLOLOLOL
Y U MAD, MEN?!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
And then three months later they have an awkward run-in where the woman is doing awesome and in a new, better relationship and the guy has recently had something crappy happen to him (at least this is my experience)
This is simply what women want to think.
Comment #1 has it down, keep believing it ;)
Anyone know where the second gif for guys is from???
Hahahhahah mad props to the guys! I'm a chick but in my experience, this is pretty straight on..but I will admit..I'm not like any chick I know. Every Guy that has dated me has said that..I think that's why most guys really do come back to me crying (yes actually crying..no lie.) And once I see a Guy cry over me, I automatically see them as pathetic.. Most other girls i know are crazy emotional walking talking tampons that don't know when to shut the fuck up. Girls drive guys nuts with their bitching and crazy hormones..so guys break up with them..they only crawl back to them for sex, because usually that's all they're good for. This is just funny to me. And exactly why I don't get along with most girls.
The 2nd gif from the guys, (the one with the guy and beer) is from the band McFly's music video I'll Be Okay, to those of you that were wondering. It's actually a really well done video, not depressing like the image implies. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yle1YEjmGf0
Well, the guy post isn't true in my case. I'm a week into a breakup right now. The first day I actually cried. Today, I still get really sad when I think of her.
this is just a bullshit woman empowering thing. they just want to think that's what happens to guys when they break up but in actuality he's having sex with like 3 other bitches
ok women, notice how this is a stereotypical male; Horny, douchebags, assholes, players, lazy, etc. IF you want to find a decent guy who wont end up falling in ANY of the above adjectives, DONT FIND THEM IN A BAR. Girls are always attracted to the "badboys" when you always get hurt in the end. Me personally i have been in the above state without the drinking and the crawling back. I had a gf for 4 years (from soph hs to soph in college) and she cheated on me with a "bad boy" and SHE came crawling back to me for the past 2 years. i shun her aside and now im engaged.
does not matter what gender it is, bc all the pictures above are how different people deal with their own break up. deal with people upset about this. you published it, you deal with it.
SOOOOOOOOOO **SEXIST!** If us women want gender equality then we shouldn't post shit portraying men as dependent. It's hypocritical.
I usually find not putting people into categories based on sex, race or religion usually helps me get on in life.
written by a true sexist
I’ll try to keep this short. I’ve been friends with my ex for 7 years, dated him for the last 11 months. He broke it off with me last week. We had a great relationship, always had fun, respected each other, both easy to get along with, My ex dumped me over a year ago, stating that I had been jealous and possessive towards him (when I truly was not). Three weeks later, he tried to apologize and asked to be my friend again… Since he thought it would not be fair for me to go back with him again after all the pain he put me through. I said yes, but never spoke with him again. Six months later, on a scholar event he showed off with his new girlfriend… I can say their relationship did not last, since I heard that she was such a complicated girl. I’ve unfriended him and deleted any contact with him. I saw him last January by coincidence in a shopping mall but we did not speak to each other. Right now I see all the mistakes I did when we were together and i tried getting him back was difficult i add him again on Facebook and tried calling his line but he refused me so i decided to go and see him in his apartment he drove me out after three days i came across someone comment that (Dr OWASELE) is a capable and reliable man that can help someone to get back together after break, i decided to contact him and explained all my situation to (Dr OWASELE) i sent him what was requested from me and and he started casting the return spell that was all. One evening i was laying down and my phone started ring when i checked it was Kelvin i was so so surprise the third times i picked the call come and see what was happening Kelvin stared begging me that he miss me and will should come back together, that i should forgive him and he still love and cherish me so much....please help me thank this man (Dr OWASELE) for the wonderful help he render to me when i needed help and if you are still in the same situation (Dr OWASELE) is the right man to help you contact his email now: owaselespelltemple@gmail.com
