Sluts Or After the Break Up

A **** can be pretty and funny and smart.
She can lift all of your thoughts from your ***** straight to your heart.
She can talk about science, music, or art.
She can put you together but also rip you apart,
so don't trust these sluts, no don't you dare.
They'll force you to trust them and love them and care,
and then she'll be gone, and then you'll be aware 
of that hole in your heart that that dumb **** left there.

In my opinion, women only become sluts if or after they hurt you, it is some defense / healing mechanism guys use. But, I thought it was only the young ones who lacked the maturity for deeper responses to pain. You did an excellent job summing up a guy's reaction to an unwanted break-up ... CayCay

Referring to an ex wife or girlfriend as a slut after a bad break up is an alternative emotional reaction for many men, young or old, particularly of the macho variety. If you ask me, they would all be better off transferring all that anger into a good cry.

Not trying to start a gender war here Jan, just expressing how some men feel after a bad break up. I can't express how women would feel since I'm not one. Thanks for your words.
