Of Heartbreaks and Heartbreakers

Everyone at one point or the other has experienced heartbreaks, it could have been either by losing someone close to you through death, break up, rejection or any other reason which caused a huge emotional pain. Sometimes though it is caused by serial heart breakers, some of who may or may not even realise that they are inflicting pain. There are quite a few of people who mistake emotions like love for what they view in Movies or TV Soaps and when they don't experience it in real life, are disappointed and could run the risk of causing a heart ache which occasionally might go into number exceeding one.

The other myth out there on this topic is that, only men cause heart breaks and its only the women who have to suffer through them. Like I said a myth, where in fact there are quite a few women who "play the game" very well. Femme Fatale is the term used for women heart breakers, and they should not be confused with the likes of Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian, who may be party animals, yet rarely can lead hearts to break. No, we are talking more about the likes of Cleopatras and the Mata Haris who seduced men and had them so smitten, that these men were willing to go to any lengths to appease them. They are in control of the situation in any given time and can manipulate their way to gain access to anything they wish. One of the reasons, that women can play the game in a more advanced manner is because they, unlike men, have a total understanding of how a man thinks. This combined with their superior emotional quotient can have any man singing/listening to "I can't make you love me" (sung by George Michael) for hours after she's been done with him. Men often can't express themselves emotionally and hence it takes more of an effort for them to get over the feelings and thus the pain is more both in amount and in duration. The other mistake that these men who have been played commit is try to persuade the women who left them causing even more pain as they experience, what hurts their ego more than their heart, the blind eye and the deaf ear therapy.

Yes, there is that mystery, that charm associated with a woman who can play the game of love and break hearts for while we think we're immune to the charm that very thought of strength brings in the chinks to the armour and takes us to the heartbreak hotel.

Now you may wonder why I have only discussed women and not men who are more infamous for this act, but that is exactly why I have done so, as the counts of men breaking hearts has been written numerous times. This also in some way should remind us that what we assume may not always hold true and when the word heartbreaker is mentioned, it is not always a man that is the culprit.
