Big, bad, tough guys get extremely upset post breakups and avoid diving into the dating pool ever after.

However, it is not the same case with girls. In fact, they do not take time to return to the dating scene after calling quits.

85 per cent of men confess that they get depressed and upset after a breakup and don't start prowling for dates.

However, only 8 per cent of females feel the same way.

Dr. Keith Ablow, forensic psychiatrist and a human behaviour expert says that online daters don't represent all men and women. No conclusions should be made based on online dating system.

"Men who gravitate toward those sites may do so because they are rejection sensitive," adds Ablow.

Women may use dating sites simply to have a bigger pool of men to choose from.
