Why do men get quiet and not talk about their feelings? (guys answer please)?

Maybe he really loves you, and is afraid that he will upset you, so he takes his time coming up with the right words to explain how he is feeling. (I do that when I am in love) Maybe he even gets a little embarassed of his emotions sometimes, most of us are raised not to show what we are feeling.

It has to be an ego thing. I have noticed that most guys dont show how they feel, ever. They hide most everything about themselves. Its got to be a derivitave from the "boys dont cry " way of thinking.

I like sensitive guys. Atheletic guys are too rough. Good thing: They listen to what you say. Bad thing: They are too quiet or shy, so they might not make the first move because you are too quiet and shy aswell. Plus, they may not contribute to your conversation, because they're afraid of saying the wrong thing and losing the girl. This is just my opinion.

Men respond to visual stimuli and are not as reliant on their feelings.\nSome women respond to visual stimuli also, but they are more talkative and communicate what they are feeling more openly.

Don't push him but you can ask if he would tell you. If he says he doesn't want to talk about it, just say that you would really like to know what happened and if he ever feels comfortable telling you, you would like to know.

im sure most people would say that he really doesn't love you and move on or find someone new. but think about this: maybe he's just not very vocal about his feelings. there's a big possibility that he does love you he just prefers to express it in his own way. but if it really bothers you that much that he can't say it, it's probably best that you tell him how you feel.

It does sound like he is trying to ignore u, don't let it get u down there's a lot more where that came from. As far as the shyness goes, it can be kinda difficult to get around that, I know cuz I was like that(still kinda am). It's all on you if your willing to take the first step and talk to him, it's easier for women cuz most guy's will feel like it's a good ice breaker and if there interested then they'll try to keep up the conversation. My best advice to you would be to is to not worry about what the other person might think about you, cuz some times you gotta swing the bat and if you miss then oh well you'll do better next time.

Guys are built differently than women...when a guy sees that something is wrong their first reaction is to try to "fix" whatever is wrong, when in reality sometimes all we are looking for is understanding or some comforting words. Try not to see it as a fault, it really isnt, us women are just more "emotionally intuned" than most men are.....I asked my father this same question many years ago, and he told me simply that most times guys really don't know what to say...like when we cry and they are just silent...it's because they dont know how to "fix" it...\n\nSo to answer your question, yes i believe it is common, and very normal : )

I think all guys act like that sometimes.  Men might not be as in "in touch" with sharing their feelings.  I guess is this silent response a new thing? or old?   I think you should find a neutral spot and time to talk to him.  Maybe when you are in the car driving somewhere say  " Hey i somethings been bothering me...or hey I want to talk to you about something, can we talk about it now...and if not when would be a good time."  After you schedule your appointment, tell him what is going on, and how you feel Try not to talk his head off, give him the short story of it all, and see what he says. Only he really knows why he is acting that way. But you have been together for 3 years, so im guessing  he is invested in you and the relationship otherwise he wouldnt be there.

yea.  It's interesting.  Sometimes they might surprise you and end up being very talkative.  They could just be shy.  you never know.  Quiet people are quiet for a reason, and sometimes, by observing them, you find out why it is they're quiet.

Men know that a small thing for them, can be a huge thing for a woman.  So they are in fact lying to protect themselves from a big argument, or fight or whatever best suits you.  Some are actually sensitive and dont want to see you upset or crying over something that looks bad but is not (in their eyes).\nThe sad thing is they are not good liars and sooner or later we find out then the fight or argument will be even bigger than they thought.

God bless you for trying to be a better girlfriend... Men aren't very open individuals if you haven't noticed..We keep things bottled up instinctively to suppress emotions, by that l mean we will ease out of a bad situation for a bit chew on it let it go and be done with it.. We are pretty shallow creatures who in most scenarios don't look for closure.. Women on the other hand find it necessary, in most cases, to bring an end to the problem and have closure to ensure the stability of the relationship.. This truly is a situation that you must sit down with him and discuss at length so you will know quite positively where he stands.. This may or may not be healthy for a relationship but it's pretty much the norm for male behavior.. Are you worried about the longevity of the relationship, or do you wonder when the two of you fight that it might be the last time??? If so, it's very important that you talk to him about this and get his reassurance before you drive yourself crazy worrying, which will cause more static in your relationship.... Good luck!!!!

some guys have a hard time expressing their feelings, its not the manly thing to do, which is a shame because its what us girls want to hear. all you can do is tell him how you feel, either by talking to him or writing to him. some men are able to write there feeling down rather then talking about them. when he feels more at ease im sure he will be able to tell you his feelings.

Lack of practice.\n\nWomen talk about their feelings with their friends all the time, so when you get in a relationship it's already natural. Guys almost never talk about their feelings with other guys, so when they get in a relationship, it's often the first time they've ever had to really try to do it.\n\nMany guys are willing to learn how to express their feelings. Be patient, and teach them how.

men aren't as open with their feelings because we weren't created that way. in the 40's men weren't wearring diamond rings in their ears and pink shirts. some would sat because of the world has become more feminine and some would say people are freely expressing themselves. gay and bi people run the countries states so you do the math on that. when it comes to men expressing themselves it's alot of pressure from other men calling them weak and soft not to mention a bit*h azz *igga. most importantly men are afraid of being hurt more than women are but a humble mature true woman can help a man grow with her and into her which will aloow him to freely express himself without the fear of being hurt or taken for granted.

They love a little bit of both, men love for a woman to say whats on her mind, but not all the time. Some men like for they're woman to play the shy role. F**k what a man likes if u r blunt b blunt and say what u feel. If u r a shy person continue to b shy you'll grow out of it but don't try to change who u r because thats what that person likes it isn't worth it.

They don't "think too much", rather they "think differently than we men do".  Because they think so much differently than we do, men sometimes can't understand why they feel the way they do.  Their thoughts seem unnecessarily complicated, and we feel like they're spending too much time on issues and putting too much energy into thinking about it.
