If you didn't already hear, Simon Cowell and long-time girlfriend Teri Seymour have called it quits, but according to People, he's not looking for love again anytime soon. He claimed to have sworn off women and his statement got me thinking.
We all handle breakups differently: some hibernate and regroup while others paint the town red or jump into another relationship. No one way is better than the other so tell me, do you tend to swear off men after a breakup like Simon is doing with women?

no
1No, I don't swear off men. There have been times when I didn't feel like doing the whole dating thing, so I won't go out of my way. But when someone special enough comes along, I don't shut them out. Basically, I don't seek it out if I've been recently hurt.
2It depends on how involved I was in the relationship that ended.
3Kind of...I would spend extra time with my girlfriends and by myself, to get back in touch with who I am and what I really want. I wouldn't actively seek out a new relationship, but I wouldn't avoid men or anything.
4No. But I will take as much time as I need for myself. I'm not the type of woman who has to have a man to have worth.
5For a while, but then I usually get back into the game when I'm ready.
6he gave her like 10 million as a break up present!
7Lol No! I'm looking for love so I would never swear off of dating. But I think it also has a lot to do with how long your last relationship was.
8I told myself I was swearing men off after my last relationship, but within a month I met some someone wonderful and he swept me off my feet.
It's in my nature though. I'm a hopeless romantic.
9No, not at all! But I am very apprehensive for a couple of months. I don't have to swear them off because I have a few weeks of complete disinterest, then slowly come around again.
10Yeah.. doing so right now
Gotta focus on myself & a lot of personal stuff before I even think about someone else.
11yes
12It depends on how invested in the recent break-up....if it was real heartstopping love, then I need time to get over it, as that does not come around that often, for me anyway.
If a casual thing, not much loss, I can see how someone could jump back in quickly. Unfortunately, I'm a Scorpio, and when I love, I LOVE, and it's hard for me to have casual relationships. Believe me, I wish it wasn't so!
13Simon is not swearing of women! He is probably shagging quite a few as we speak. He doesn't want a relationship but this doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy them. I would swear of men yes! I would be alone for a long time and see what happens.
14I dated two men in a bordering state after the last relationship went sour I swore off men from that state.
15Every single time but I've had relationships end with men AND women so...
16I take a six month hiatus from dating and all that comes with it, after an end to a relationship. It gives me enough time to heal, treat myself, sort my priorities, get stuff done, and make sure the next relationship I get into won't be a rebound. It really seems to work for me....and I have 5 more months to go, lol
17well i think that it's really normal to want to stay take a vow of celibacy when you're newly single but it's more to protect yourself from getting hurt. i think that like falling off a horse, if you don't get right back into it then you're going to find yourself a bit timid to go out on dates again.
18ilanac, I don't see anything wrong with protecting yourself from getting hurt, at least for awhile. You have to be ready to date, or else to me its just a waste of time. I think if some people are ready in 2 weeks, fine, if it takes someone else a couple of months, that's fine too....the point is everyone needs to do what is best for them and what feels right.
Some people get over relationships by getting into new ones right away....that's not me, but no judgment...I just don't think it is really healthy until you are ready.
