The reason for the saying “I am a man of my word” is considered a sign of masculinity, respect and trustworthiness. Once a man commits to something he is expected to be on a mission/oath to do it. If he has any second thoughts or negative emotions and reneges on his commitment (even if he’s legitimately afraid) his emotions aren’t an excuse. If will be considered unreliable and even a liar. Less of a man. Especially if he does it often.
This is one by reasons it’s much harder for men to say “I love you” to women. It is not just expressing a feeling we have in a moment. It’s pledge of loyalty. There is a legitimate sense of selfless devotion when we say that.
But women always get far more leeway to change their minds based on negative emotions and not lose face for it. Not the same way a man will.

Not true. Many men act one way and do another. People are humans!! Dump the ones who can't get over it. I understand standing by your word and being an adult but shit if I love someone I do but if I'm afraid then imma back off for a bit. If he doesn't accept me imma move on.
But go ahead and be a man and miss out
Comparing men to women is not apples to apples and you know it.
Women can mange their emotions very well. Men most men try to impersonate them but can't. Because the powers of the booty always wins.
Women can manage their emotions well?
When guys get to pushy
Well maybe men have been conditioned to be more tolerant of women when they show their emotions?
Example?
You sure? It’s a long list. Some are painful memories too.
No thanks to the long list lol I’m just wanting an example to better understand what exactly you’re talking about
It’s a bit deep to give the real context. But I won’t bore you.
Probably would’ve helped to provide context in the first place but I guess that’s too boring as well lol.
Yeah I won’t waste my keystrokes.
The bottom line is men are NOT special for just existing. Period.
