Yes, 100%. I am a little confused because your own source says so too but besides that I think the difference isn't even small from what I have experienced. Anger seems to be one of the emotions men are 'allowed' to show. I was reading through the studies once but sadly I can't exactly remember the reasoning behind it.
I’d say girls show emotions while guys hide it. Again it depends on individual, some are more emotional some less. I still think women are more, cause guys won’t show it. So we don’t really know what they are going through unless they tell us. :D
It's a more of a personality trait. Some girls can be just as detached as any other person. I met a girl whose loved to walk on terrace walls of her 6 storied building and she was as calm as ice. Yaa but you also get more drama queens in girls than boys. Maybe it's just girl community or peer pressure or maybe they are just exploring their emotional side. I am not sure. Even I also wanted to know why this happens?
Guys are typically better at hiding their emotions, though they feel just as much as we do. Society has taught guys that if you show emotions, it means you're a pussy.

As children, most boys are still trained to hide their emotions for fear of being seen as weak. Only rage is acceptable. Even a lot of girls make fun of boys who express other emotions. Girls are given far more leeway to express a wide range of emotions.
Um... I know a lot of emotional girls but I do think boys get more emotional but usually not crying. It depends on the person, emotion doesn’t mean just crying but I do think women deal with more
Well i would say that Emotion are based on environmental factors as girls from birth are treated as fragile they develop emotions according to that but boys are treated to be dominating so they are usually less emotional. But They both have it and express it in different ways. Message me privately to know more.
Not environmental factors... They are based on what we feel like expressing, let's be honest, no guys is holding back anger or tears because they "look weak" We simply don't cry cos we have no tears to let out... We don't feel emotions as much, were more analytical and logical than emotional
We solve problems. Not dwell on them. Were fixers by nature. And realise crying solves nothing
well my friend the its in your opinion and am not saying you are wrong but to me its like 6 and for you its 9 which means we're both right on different scenarios.
I am an emotional guy, I have feelings, I cry when something upsets me or someone I know passes away and I was close to that person, I wear my emotions on my sleeve as they say.
I do think girls are more emotional then boys, for sure.
For girls the "average emotional state" is probably higher. But for guys the variance is orders of magnitude beyond women due to the extremity of outliers.
They often feel more free to express their emotions than boys do but boys experience emotions just as deeply and as wide of a range of emotions as girls
Myth. Men and women are both. But it depends who it weighs in with more. I’ve seen men, even me, are emotional. Women too. So I think both can be that way.
It's a myth loosely based on some factual snippets, mostly used as an excuse by incels and similar assholes.

It's a stereotype, but like most stereotypes there is a lot of truth in this one. There is no question girls are more emotional than guys. All you have to do is look around you. The evidence is everywhere. It's not a bad thing, but it's a fact.
From my many years of experience, both men and women are emotional beings. Its just that women tend to be more sensitive, not necessarily more emotional.
@devilman666 women are more likely to have their feelings hurt. Men are a bit less likely to have their feelings hurt. But when men get hurt, they get very EMOTIONAL too. When men get emotional, they tend to hide it and pretend they are not in pain. When women are hurt, they tend to talk about it with their best friends / family.
@devilman666 I talk to a lot of guy friends about their inner most thought and feelings. That’s how I know. Men don’t tend to tell their inner most thoughts to other men. They do it to women. Trust me, when they do this. They are just as emotional as women
@devilman666 You wouldn't need to ask that question if you understood the difference between the definitions of "sensitive" and "emotional".
Everything could be a generalization. All women are more sensitive than men also sounds like a generalization because reality is there are women that are not sensitive.

It depends on your life experiences.
Everything you have been through, your upbringing your environment your education it all makes you you.
It just so happens that in most societies men are scolded for showing much emotion whereas women are encouraged to show there's.

Just a myth. I agree with you. Men are more emotional.
Guys are typically better at hiding their emotions, though they feel just as much as we do.

It's a fact. Women tend to be more emotional while men tend to be more rational. There are some exceptions tho.
They often feel more free to express their emotions than boys do but boys experience emotions just as deeply and as wide of a range of emotions as girls

They do, it’s a fact. Why do you think feminism exists?

Girls show the emotion, guys are taught through society to not show emotion.
Yes, I am very emotional but i can’t help it or change it ✨💕
From my many years of experience, both men and women are emotional beings. Its just that women tend to be more sensitive, not necessarily more emotional.
So basically, women will tell you to your face when you hurt their feelings, where as men will often hide it in order to seem tough?
@devilman666 women are more likely to have their feelings hurt. Men are a bit less likely to have their feelings hurt. But when men get hurt, they get very EMOTIONAL too. When men get emotional, they tend to hide it and pretend they are not in pain. When women are hurt, they tend to talk about it with their best friends / family.
If men tend to hide there pain then how do you know they are less likely to feel hurt?
@devilman666 because I have many many guy friends And I also had female friends growing up too for many years
I understand both genders Inside out
@devilman666 I talk to a lot of guy friends about their inner most thought and feelings. That’s how I know. Men don’t tend to tell their inner most thoughts to other men. They do it to women. Trust me, when they do this. They are just as emotional as women
I'm glad you understand all men better than they understand themselves. Truly your are the hero that men everywhere needed
I thought you said women were more sensitive? What happened to that?
Also, that was a generalization about men, Imagine me telling you I understand your emotions better than you do because I'm friends with women.
@devilman666 You wouldn't need to ask that question if you understood the difference between the definitions of "sensitive" and "emotional".
Everything could be a generalization. All women are more sensitive than men also sounds like a generalization because reality is there are women that are not sensitive.
