Men are as emotional as Women are but........?

Yes it is. Looking around at even my own family I can see the pitfalls they are getting into with my grandson. "Boys don't cry" Oh gosh. It is society, upbringing etc that make men the way they are. I truly do feel that a man is every bit the same as a woman in this sense, but society rules that men are supposed to be hard and not emotional, if they are any different society treats them in a negative way.\nMy husband is a very gentle character and he was certainly picked on at school because of it. There is nothing wrong with a calm mannered man who is in touch with his feelings just as women are considered to be.\nIt has to start with the children not bringing them up to think that all men have to be strong, hard, not in touch with the feminine side of themselves. \nI fear that as life has always portrayed men in this way, it just will not change. \nI encourage my grandson as I did my  boys that it's ok to cry and be emotional if and when these feelings arise. \nIf more people did this maybe society would be so much better. \nThe macho image of men is not always right. It's all down to how we are conditioned throughout life.

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 : )

yes some men cry. i cried at my mothers funeral and the day she died. i also cried when my son was born. your bf is either depressed or thinks playing sensitive will get him points with you. how women react to a man cring is up to her. my gf at the time of my moms death was very compassionate and held me and listened to me about how i felt. my son is now 2 yrs old and my wife still talks about how sweet she thought it was to see me cring because i was so overwhelmed with happiness to hold my new born son. again though it is all up to the individual on how they react.

I have an opinion about this. I love women, but I think they are most are emotional in their decision making. In most situations they would not be able to make the correct decision under certain circumstances like men would. Don't get me wrong some men are less capable. Women don't get offended because. I DON"T KNOW YOU PERSONALLY.  Thank you.

Men are ot emotional as women are. After an argument, a few minutes later, a man usually has forgotten it and want to be close to you. But women hold it in and be emotional and want to talk about it. The best way is to approach him and tell him you want to talk about what you all argued about. If you aproach him with anger, you will get anger in return. Its all about the tone you use. If he is not a good listener, write it in a letter and let him read it.

Men are very selective in what they hear, feel, and decide upon. They are logical in nature. That's why they can control their emotions when watching cry movies. Also, they are from MARS.\n\nWomen are open to anything and want to process it emotionally. They are from VENUS.\n\nI hope i have answered your question. (smile)

None.  And normally has nothing to do with it.  Researching multiple cultures even historically, both males and females feel the same emotions and at about the same levels of intensity.\nHowever, especially in our current culture, females tend to express their emotions (let it out girl) more often and with more honesty than males do (big boys don't cry, etc.).\nOne of the large difference in behavior between women and men which affects most relationships is that when women express their emotion, they are usually not looking for a solution to their problems.  But the guy who hears her is too busy trying to tell her a solution instead of just listening to what she has to say.\nOn the other hand most women complain that their guy never expresses his emotions to her.\nStrange culture we live in.

Men and women feel love EXACTLY the same way.  Don't be fooled by cultural machoism, any more than you should be fooled by the 'sensitivity' and 'helplessness' of women.  These are merely thin layers of cultural prejudice that each sex has learned to use to mutual advantage over the history of humanity.\n\nWomen are just as capable of callous disregard for a man's emotions as any man would be.  And men are just as capable of empathy and compassion, and bruised egos as any woman.\n\nLove is love.  It's just as valid and powerful from either sex, as it is from common household pets.  Your dog probably feels a more pure form of it (male or female) than anyone you've ever met.  My advice is to ask your dog.  He'll let you know right away, and he's a guy.  What does that say about your theory that men are unemotional?

We are men, we don't cry usually but we definitly are moved and come close to tears.  Just because we don't show our emotions on the outside doesn't mean that they don't exist.

Crying is a natural thing, even for 'strong men'. If a man allows himself that opportunity to express himself so fully that he is moved to tears, there's a really lucky woman out there!

In today's society, it takes a very strong man to cry. I think it is more sad to see a man cry because men today are usually ashamed of their emotions. I also know several women who can turn on the water works just to get their way. I never assume some injustice has been done just because a woman cries. I find out as much of the whole story as I can before I make any judgements. (I judge actions not people)

Men physically\nWomen emotionally

Few Men are worth a Woman's tears......and the ones who are, won't make them cry....\n\nI wish I could give a better answer than that, because I really don't know. Some people are mean and do it just for that reason, thinking that it empowers them over another person. Others have so much of themselves invested in another person that even when something happens unintentionally, it can still cut like a knife.

I think it would be women because we are more emotional then men. \n\nMen think physically and women think emotionally.
