What sort of men? Cisgender men? Heterosexual men? Arabic men? There's no such thing as a man -- "man" an abstract concept that needs definition before any useful statement can be made about people in that category.
If you need "men" defined for you, you're going to have trouble participating in useful communication. Use a bit of intuition.
This feels like the important bit to me. People view their ex’s less favorably if they blame them for the breakup; and women blame men more than men blame women. Women also reported receiving less support from their partners than men. Reading between the lines, men in average like the women more because the women put in more effort to the relationship.
My bet is that men tend not to have emotional support or positive attention in their lives, unless it's from a mate, hence they value it more.
Social Psychology has one of the worst reproducibility problems in all of academia. Claims like this make is easy to see why. Simple scientific inquiry into this claim leads me to the question, “Okay, but why? That women potentially harbor worse feelings of their ex partners on average than men is one of the most interesting but useless things I’ve heard. The confounding explanations for this type of research are min…
E.g. "Honey, I'm sorry - but it's not really my fault, it's just my genetic make-up .."
Ultimately, while we may be descended from lizards, rationalising behaviours based on our physiological origins might not be that useful.
Especially when such sweeping statements are made about a _vast_ group of people who—when looked at in terms of their other attributes—vary enormously.
Oh boy, research showing differences between biological genders. This is going to either be ignored or absolutely explode.
not science until it can be reproduced. and since this is a psychological study...
Of course there was a particularly public reproduction crisis, but the problem is endemic to academia as a whole, if perhaps in lower numbers (this remains to be seen).

It's absurd to group half the population into one group, and then try to work out what makes that group as a whole tick.

> Second, there may be gender differences in the perceived causes of breakups. Women blame their male partners more often for breakups than men blame their female partners (Choo et al., 1996). In addition, women more frequently report problematic partner behaviors as the reason for a breakup, such as infidelity, substance abuse, and mental or physical abuse (Amato & Previti, 2003; Morris, Reiber, & Roman, 2015).
