I'm really curious as to the answers I could receive on this one.

I'm currently seeing a guy who's twenty one and has had what appears to be one serious commitment in his life: a relationship that lasted two years. There was no sex in this relationship. It ended from constant bickering that couples seem to get absorbed in after an extended period of spending time together as well as boredom. Since they've broken up a few years ago, he has had numerous one night stands at school and nothing more.

His friend is similar. Same age, had a one year relationship his first year of school where the woman was cheating on him for an extended period of time. He has had seven one night stands since her and nothing more.

My question would be why do men do this? This seems so common nowadays. Why is sex a numbers game and they don't desire any emtional attachment, even if they admit it makes them feel empty sometimes? Are they hurting from their past even though it seems as though in guy number one's case, the hurt was mutual? Do they just not care anymore because they had an unsuccessful past? Are they scared of commitment?
