Why do guys not like to talk about stuff?

Guys are socially conditioned to equate emotional expression with being effeminate. In this day and age of penis enlargement patches and big cars, men are trying to be more and more masculine, women are trying to be more and more feminine (shaving everything) and the lines of communication are failing as a result. Many guys (especially those without older sisters) are simply unable to communicate emotionally- except anger- anger is regarded as okay. I think it is really sad and that guys are doing themselves out of half the friendships they could have.

I saw a video of guys answering this question, they said they might feel obligated at the time or just want to be polite because they were talking with you for a while, they feel it is just the next step even if they dont intend on calling. Guys are just hard to figure out sometimes!

It is in the details.  Guys lie in color.  They give you details you didn't ask for, want or are not part of the conversation.  If you pay attention they will slip up in some manner.  They always do and the truth comes out.  Be patient and you will find out soon enough.

yes we do.  some guys more than others.  but most guys tell just not all the steamy details.  unless it's like with some close buddies or something.  most guys don't want to hear about what happened to another guys weiner.  unless it's really good.  then he wants to know so he can do that to his girl.

We girls often like spontaneous and funny guys because we don't like to be trapped in awkward situations like not having something to talk about. Guys who are free of shame can ask anything that pops inside their head, no matter how silly they may be and that actually turns some girls on.

B/c guys are taught from a very young age that it's not "masculine" to be emotional.  We are taught to hide and repress our emotions.  As a result, it can be very difficult for us to talk about them as easily as girls can b/c we're not used to it.  It takes effort and practice and we have to sometimes unlearn the bad habits we were taught growing up.  You just need to be as patient with your bf as possible.  And provide helpful insight.  Sometimes you can help him figure out what he's feeling by placing yourself in his shoes.

From personal experience . . . I always dred when a woman wants to "talk" about a relationship.  The state of the relationship talk is frequently a poor subject to bring up with a male partner.  If you don't want to be in a serious relationship, there is no reason to talk about the current state of affairs.  Enjoy what you have now, and live in the moment.  Chances are, after a while, things will develop into a more meaningfull relationship.

It is an evolutionary trend promoted by self preservation. Once asleep the male is able to have respite from incessant female gossip and tittle-tattle. He will be able to avoid the pitfalls of the loaded question and not have to participate in conversations that revolve around diet, fashion, celebrities, etc.

Girls gossip more, but guys are more deadly. They may not say much, but the few words that they do say are very damaging and usually nasty. Women tend to go on about little things that are not necessarily earth shattering but pick it to death; hair, nails, clothing, shoes, movies, a little on sex but not much. Guys however only have 3 priorities which are sex, sleeping and food and drink. Sex is usually what they speak of and can ruin a reputation just with a couple of words. Hope this helps!!

It could be bad.\n\nToo much contact can be suffocating.\n\nWomen need to learn to communicate efficiently. \n\nIf you have something important to tell a guy, he will be happy to listen.

It will come out of his mouth. Most men don't talk much.  However, if a man has a desire for something or someone, he will boast/talk about it.  Every man has a plan.  If your in his plan for marriage, he will talk about it, without you guiding him to talk about it.  Without you asking him about marriage.  Don't ever assume on your own, let him lead into marriage, if that's what he wants.  :)

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.

Often people run out of things to talk about in a relationship, how sad. There are lots of things you can talk about. I suggest asking lots of questions. What do each of you do for fun is a good start. Politics and religion aren't bad things to talk about like someone here said because you have to make sure your compatible. If the person you are dating isn't asking questions perhaps they are boring and you should move on. Don't be afraid to open yourself up a bit, share your life and he/she will also share theirs.

Most guys when they find out that their girlfriends want to talk about their relationship or feelings or whatever, they think that there's a problem or something. Guys are like that, they'd never examine or look into anything at all unless something is wrong with it. Not a lot of guys talk about their relationship with their girlfriend just because they should. It's usually only if there's a serious problem or something, otherwise they'll just think then what is there to talk about ? what is there to say about it ?

Guys are just like this, makes them feel macho if they tell the guys they've had sex,  all  you can really do is tell people no you didn't and ignore it...something else will come up and they'll forget all about it...

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.

most likely he was raised  thinking it is normal to  talk about these things... ...... they say for better or worse... welcome to worse....lol... well you can tactfully tell him, that you are uncomfortable discussing these details, and if that don't work,  when you get your menses , give him a play by play.. that will  hopefully  wake him up...
