The Tallest One Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 I just don't understand why it's so hard for men to be emotionally available to there SO? I know some men were raised to feel that being in touch with there feelings is a sign of weakness, yes my mother has told me many times that it's not attractive! But give me a break, if a women wants to talk about anything, then I'm always willing to talk. I don't care what it's about, whether it be her feelings, her wants, needs etc. Honesty and good solid communication for me is key to any successful relationship. Once I feel there is enough trust and commitment in the relationship, I don't have a problem discussing any matter. Also I am very affectionate and I also feel it's very important to always let the other person know how important they are to me and to never take them for granted. I'm not perfect by any means, my posts show some of my shortcummings, but there is nothing wrong in just being yourself and being in touch with your feelings and the feelings of your partner.
durentu Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 I'd say it's lack of character that results in insecurity. So they assume the male archetype - no emotion. Specifically to avoid the "crying like a bitch" thing which is both a female thing and also a gay thing. So there is a bit of homophobia in that as well. that's what I gather from it.
Badsingularity Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Emotions are weak things meant to be crushed. joke. sort of. Women want to feel like their man is strong and can protect them in dangerous and difficult situations. If a man crys and gets upset at trivial things she will not feel safe with him and will not respect him. That doesn't mean he can never show emotion.
