Interesting read from Leonard, but here's the thing: just because there will be a loss, doesn't mean that you will have to bear it for long.
Biology or not, look at how women handle a break up: they monkey branch to another guy right away. The hotter the girl, the shorter the transition time. How you explain it (defense mechanism, biology survival instinct, war bride genes, etc.) doesn't matter, what matter is whatever pain you feel will lessen or disappear when you meet another girl.

Yet the thousand cock stare is a fact.
Just because a woman can swing out of one relationship into another doesn't mean there's no damage. Never hitting the floor off the rebound is a survival mechanism, but it still scars them deeply. A woman's biological drive is to be owned and it's my personal belief that we form bonds with them because it ensures that the tribe will not disintegrate the second it becomes more convenient for the individuals of the tribe to abandon one another.
It's our strange and frankly ridiculous society that plays havoc with that. In the wild a woman might never be forced to "bounce" much less be convinced that doing so 50 or 100 times is no big deal. Now you find that a lot of women are sporting the thousand cock stare while dosed up on antidepressants washed down with red wine.
The reason is plain and simple. Neither men nor women are biologically adapted to P+D from puberty to sexual retirement. Men can do it with less damage than women, sure, but the failed LTR still scars them both because a tribal survival instinct really requires nothing less.
The public will judge a man by what he lifts, but those close to him will judge him by what he carries.
