Is it true that every guy only loves one girl in his life

I learned the other day from the Internet that every guy only loves one girl in his whole life. Guys may say “I LOVE YOU” to thousands of girls, but they are nothing like girls. Guys always want to know how is everything going with their ex-girlfriends and want to do them a favor or take care of them.
What I am trying to express is when a fancy couple break up, the girl will date other guys soon and compare her exs with her present date. Especially she will exaggerat the ex's weakness and the present one's advantage. Gradually, she will forget how much she loved her exs and move on to another relationship.

But guys are so different. They will think about the girl that he was in love with and maybe he will treat many other girls really well as a husband or boyfriend but deep deep down in his heart, he always wants to take care of the very special girl he had been with.

Do you think so? Have you ever been with a guy who misses his ex all the time or a girl who you cannot forget and wants to look after her and wondering if she is doing great.
Oh, for what’s worth, this is just personal idea. Maybe it's not an universal acknowledgement, but welcome to share your opinion!
But I do agree that every guy has someone really special at the bottom of his heart who he thinks about all the time.

I thought it was 3...and one was supposed to be your mom :-/

I can't answer for every guy, but I'll personally say that I've experienced a few different types of love:

1. First love (puppy love) - it felt real, but you know now looking back on life that it never would have survived what you've been through)
2. First serious relationship
3. The eternal tease
4. The high school sweetheart (which turned into wife for me)

I'm betting that the chances of one girl *really* satisfying all of these is low. That means more than one person, so I'm with the 'false' crowd.

That being said, loving someone and being able to spend your life with them are different matters in my book. My marriage works because we love each other, we understand each other, and we're friends. Every couple fights, so of course we do, too, but we know how to communicate and work it out - and we make a point to do so. That's something I've only ever experienced once, so perhaps this is the only true love - that would mean one love, one person, so then I'd be with the 'true' crowd. heh


Decision time -

Final Answer: 'False'. I haven't been married long, but we've been together for 8 years - including some high school and some college years (long distance for 3 years). I guess I lucked out and just chose the right love. She's great to me and I'm happy with her, but there was a time before her - a time with other people and other women in it.

Funny. I thought over my own list and realized that this holds true for me. My mom counts as one. My wife obviously a second. There was just one girl who was the rest to me, so yeah, three for me.

Yes, it is true that every guy only loves one girl in his life...she was supposed to be your mom.

Yikes - Oedipus complex.

I need more than one. Hell, I need more than three (mom, wife and the one that got away) if you count Tina Fey, Cate Blanchette and some others.

Romantic love is grotesquely over-rated.

If you haven't grown out of it after adolescence, chances are you really have failed to separate yourself from your mom completely. Subconscious memories of nursing are the fundamental root of "romantic" feelings.

So whether it's one or four or thirteen such attachments, the sooner you shed the cocoon and forget this BS the happier you will be. Or get yourself a pacifier.
