The dumper always fares better than the dumpee.
Well of course it is. Gender doesn't matter with a broken heart. The point of the article was, who deals with that broken heart better, men or women?
My heart was broken in a million pieces when I was 24 years old, it took me years to get over him. I have broken a heart or two in my day too.
I guess it depends how do you get over that heartbreak, eh? Men and women handle it differently. After my heartache I went back to college and graduated with honors. So I guess it was a good thing in the long run!
I might be inclined to say men, in that case. My only basis for this is evolutionary biology, and accordingly, sociobiology. Since the biological imperative for both men and women was to reproduce, the best method for a man to do that was to spread his seed as far and wide as possible (which provides a basis for modern men considering sex in recreational terms), and the best method for a woman to do that was to carefully select a reliable mate who would protect her during her pregnancy and after childbirth (which provides a basis for modern women considering sex romantic terms.)
That's not to say that men don't form emotional attachments of course; such attachments are a critically important component of a functioning relationship. And there are certainly many "chaste" men and "promiscuous" women. But I do think there might be a general tendency for both men and women to have adapted their evolutionary inclinations to modern life, and accordingly, men can generally "bounce back" more quickly.

An idle mind is the devil's workshop.
Or a lack of opportunity may explain the idleness.
From the article,
Interestingly enough, right after my ex and I left the courtroom finalizing our divorce, we went to her house and had celebratory sex with each other.Some relationships end with fighting. Some end with crying. Some end with sex.
No brainer.
Women.
In general.
Women are stronger emotionally. And you rarely hear of an ex-girlfriend stalking and killing their lover. When someone gets killed, its usually the woman.
