Research suggests that men are slightly more likely than women to experience unrequited love, but women are more likely to be victims of stalking. This may be due to societal gender norms and expectations, which may lead men to more actively pursue romantic relationships and women to be more passive or hesitant. Additionally, men may be more likely to engage in stalking behavior, while women may be more likely to be the targets of such behavior.
