Is it better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all?
Explain why?

I say YES. Learn from what went wrong the last time and try to be a better person the next time.

Yes. No one is born to be a good love/lover. Learn as you go.

I voted yes, because, you are supposed to learn from your past mistakes, not hide from them.

I would say yes because if you didn't experience love you sure would be VERY acquainted with your hand, romance novels and motorized objects...

I feel it's better to have loved and lost, because you learn MORE about your self, we are deserve to cherish the good that was in them too.
But if we SAY it's better to have loved and lost, why are most folks so damn bitter???

DUUUH, can the men get some details (I'm serious) If you must... ;D On a personal note during periods when I wasn't involved I was very preoccupied with the opposite sex in spite of the occasional bitterness and disillusion. It didn't mean that I didn't want a man, it was just that he wasn't available at that time. So in order to um, get by the feeling of wanting to jump the next Joe, I would read ALOT of romance novels, Harlequin or whatever and would find myself in a rather heightened state of arousal MOST of the time. So me and Ms. Handie or Mr. Buzz got to know each other pretty well.

But if we SAY it's better to have loved and lost, why are most folks so damn bitter??? I agree with what Dolphinfan said, people are usually bitter because they didn't learn anything. One of the most important relationship lessons I learned was that the relationship I have with other people is a projection of the relationship I have with myself. Instead of focusing on what the person did wrong, I instead focus on what part I played in the relationship not lasting. I can honestly say, that I hold no ill feelings toward anyone from my past. Bitterness and resentment are very useless emotions.

It is better because with our mistakes we get wiser and know not what to do the next time, in some cases.

No, I disagree. Why is LOSS of love a prerequisite of having a lasting love?
Reminds me of a scene from the remake of "Brian's Song," in the scene where the actor playing Brian Piccolo (the young Chicago Bears player who died of cancer at the age of 26 in 1970) says, during his illness, "I didn't need THIS to make me appreciate the sunsets, the flowers, and the birds singing."
Life gives us the option of learning its lessons the easy way, or the HARD way...only those who don't learn unless they get smacked across the head or the ass need those kinds of lessons...
