I'd put it down to privilege. Women in traditional relationships are expected to perform more emotional labor over the course of the relationship and so the experience of being in a relationship is generally better for men, so they'll have more positive feelings afterward.

- JamesBarney 7y agoWikipedia explains emotional labor is a term reserved for the effort involved in managing one's own emotions for a job. You might be referring to emotional work which is related notion involving effort put in to manage one's emotions in a relationship. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion_work https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion_work Your theory would also predict that men would desire and pursue relationships more than women, and I'm not entirely sure that's true.
