Most guys were brought up that way its a sign of weakness to cry in public. So they go off somewhere an cry or do whatever they do when they are hurt. Some are quiet and don't speak or won't eat for days. There are just so many things we do to express loss. A woman crying in public is more acceptable. I guess it's a society thing.

Most guys try and hide thier feelings from someone they love because they don't want to feel/ make them selves look vulnerable. They are afraid of rejection just like some of us. Sometimes they are just playing hard to get and want to make you work for it. That and the whole "boys don't cry" thing that has been ingrained by society. Society had screwed up many men...

It's much more difficult for us to be open with our emotions.  As we grow up were told to be tough and "act like a man".  In the end we realize that in order for us to function in the world and for people to be able to rely upon us we need to be stronger and work through or past our emotions in order to get where we need to go in life.  So, when we come upon moments where people want us to "open up" and admit how we're feeling, we not only have difficulty letting our guard down, we also sometimes don't even know how we feel until we really think about it and try to reaquaint ourselves with what we've been bottling up.

For some guys it is weak to show emotion because as a male they may feel the need to always present a tough exterior.  A guy has to be secure in himself to present his emotional side.  If he isn't, then those are the guys you are talking about in your question.

Men don’t get subtleties. If a woman has a problem she should tell the man. If she doesn’t say anything then he will assume nothing is wrong and therefore not realize he has something to apologize for. If he even does.

i think its bcz women dont really often show their feelings, they dont say what they feel, they can play with themselves e.g. to get someone else's attention, could be a man, but what they really feel is hidden deeply in their mind or soul.\nmen arent like that. it is easy to 'read' most of the men, i guess. \nmen tend to think or say things the way there are or the way they think. that makes it easy to understand them.\nwomen wont talk about things straight.\n\nmy math's teacher told us one day: when a woman says yes - that means no, when she says no - that means yes.\n\ni believe its true, though not always.\nthats why it might be difficult to understand women, what they need, what they think off.\n\nthough there are men who can do that...\n\nbut, on the other hand, i believe, and only if u want to, u can try to learn understand woman.\nits gonna take time & effort but it is possible.

In this situation it is very normal. If you are having a hard time showing your emotions to a person and you wish for this person to know what you feel, then I suggest you write it down. Write what you feel and explain everything to detail then give it to the person that you like. You should tell the truth to everyone that are important to you =)

Because all too often women will use those emotions to their advantage. It's also considered weak to let your emotions be known. Most women are turned off by this.

"US" WOMEN WANT YOU TO THINK EMOTIONALLY, BUT SINCE MEN NEVER DO AND YOU GUYS THINK WITH LOGIC,"WE" TRY TO THINK LOGICALLY.HOWEVER WOMEN ARE EMOTIONAL CREATURES. WE TRY TO BE LIKE A MAN IN OUR ACTIONS WHEN WERE HURT WE COVER UP HOW WE REALY FEEL BECAUSE ARE EMOTIONS ARE  NEVER ACCEPTED IN THE "REAL WORLD"BUT BECAUSE WE ARE EMOTIONAL PEOPLE WE THEN CHANGE OUR MIND AND STOP TRYING TO COVER UP OUR FEELINGS BUT BY THEN ITS TO LATE.(WE ACT ON LOGIC FIRST THEN EMOTIONS LATTER.)

I don't think it's necessarily the military that makes men unable to communicate their emotions. I think the military (especially the USMC) tends to attract the sort of people who tend to withold their feelings, i.e., the macho types.\n\nThe military does offer a lot of resources for mental health for problems like PSTD and depression. But it's up to soldiers to recognize they have problems before they can get help.\n\nIn your case, your guy has trouble articulating his feelings. It could be that he's too immature to describe what he's feeling, or that he's just being macho and think tht feelings are or wimps (happens to a lot of folks). I doubt it's the USMC that's keeping him from opening up.\n\nJust coax it out of him slowly. Let him know that it's okay to describe things in small, simple bits. The more he practices describing his thoughts and feelnigs, the better he will be with it.

boys cover up their feelings because they are so dumb that they can't be honest aand open enough to tell a girl that they have feelings. but then again they might be scared but i think that a boy should be man enough to be honest about his feelings what are they so scared of that they can't tell their feelings.

Not all men feel as though they can control everybody.  Why do you feel this way and why do you attract men like that is the more important question.

Absolutely, Men do feel this same way for the ones they love. The damned thing about it all is that there is no way that we can read each other's minds, you know? \n\nI have spent thousands of minutes and hundreds of hours wondering if my girl was thinking of me and missing me when she was off on trips. Most guys don't like to talk about their feelings and if you badger them they close inward and will even put up a wall. \n\nI have found that this happens mostly when a guy is insecure about sharing his feelings because he believes that being open will be percieved as being weak or unmanly. Rest assured, if you have built up enough value in your relationship then YES! your man is missing you even when you go down the street to get coffee!
