Do guys get lonely as well?

[Anonymous]

do they miss someone

how do they show it ? or do they not show it ?

Yeah, I'm lonely, quite a lot, and I spend quite a lot of time alone, too, but those two things don't have to always occur at the same time. I can be lonley in the company of others, including good friends or co-workers. Actually, I'm a bit loneliest at work because it seems "everybody has somebody, but me". No, though, I try not to show it because if anyone sees a guy looking lonely they'll think him desperate. And I'm not desperate to have someone nearby. I've always been on my own, to quote Cowboy Bebop's movie, "It's just that he was alone. Always alone. Never had anybody to play the game with", or something to that effect. I'm used to being alone. That doesn't mean that I want to be. But if I were desperate, that would indicate that I'm OK with being with/near someone who is abusive or in other ways harmful to my state of mind/being/general health, and I'm not OK with that.

it's weird when I used to be more socially awkward, more out of shape, and more of a nerd I used to just not even care about not getting any attention and I could very easily be an independent person. Now I think that I am less awkward and less ugly and know there are probably women who like me it annoys me knowing I still don't get attention from girls and am still a lonely person. Doing school work sometimes helps me forget about it but it still always lingers in my mind. I usually don't show my loneliness though out in public.

Yes they do. But I really think women have a greater need for a companion or

friends. As a result they suffer more when it is lacking. Another thing is that men can get their fix from purely physical encounters whereas women would require more of an emotional closeness at some level.

agreed

ever heard that song hate sleeping alone by drake? That's pretty much your answer..

[argonfreeman]

Do you want to know why guys hide (some of) their emotions?
-because when we show our feelings, women think we are "not a real man"
- i'm so fed up with the BS the media is telling everyone --oh sure hey -if it's on TV it must be true yeah? (burp)
-mean do get lonely, but instead of crying ourselves to sleep we do push-ups and skate, and cycle, and kick the sh! t out of a boxing-bag/soccer-ball/gym-sparring-partner.. .. I know it does not make sense to any armchair-generals (-or matriarchs) do yourself a favor: get off your ass and create a life if you don't have one, people like being alive generally, how alive are you?

[argonfreeman]

It depends on the person how they show loneliness.. I used to be all nice and sweet and sucking-up to women -until I realized that women are the most complicated beings ON EARTH (not a compliment) .. .. refer to that song by the Gaga Lady ("go away come back.. wish you knew the difference") - not even she knows the difference -- the point is this: JUST CHILL.
if you show someone too much interest - then they become interested in someone else -because the "challenge" is missing... then you end up being alone.. see I know a little about that because I've been single for 2 years now, and if I did not learn ANYTHING but 1 thing, it is this: know yourself, love yourself, see what there is to love about you -for you, take care of you, respect yourself, take yourself out to places (not dinner for 1 .. gawd - wack -wrong idea)

[argonfreeman]

Lastly: some peeps may show loneliness in a rather strange manner, but try to be open-minded.. - if the person does not respond to you (at all) then they are NOT lonely..
- if you seem uninterested in a guy and he becomes offensive -then you know he is hurting -badly.. .. so if you have no inkling of interest in this guy whatsoever, then stop communicating with him IMMEDIATELY -else you may end up hurting him more than he is hurting already.. if a guy is like this, he needs time to heal, be a friend true friend, just chill, in this state a guy won't take advantage -unless he is a despicable human being -with feelings lol

Guys definitely get lonely too and if they miss you hopefully are not afraid to show it. They can show that they miss you perhaps by staying in touch with you and remaining friends and continuing some sort of relationship, even if it is not romantic. I miss my ex a lot sometimes and still talk to her frequently and we are good friends. She feels the same about me

[Asker]

well if you miss each other than why don't you get back in a rel?

[CaptainA99]

Cuz if it didn't work the first time it won't work the second, we both realize that. It is nice to remain friends though, so maybe if you're wondering if the guy misses you, see how he treats you and if he still wants to remain in touch or friends

[Asker]

my ex stopped talking to me for 4 months than he contacted me again and now we have talked for a year now..

[CaptainA99]

Well does it seem like he is interested in getting back into a relationship? With any relationship, communication is the most important thing. See if you guy on the same page and feel the same way, and don't assume anything. Make sure you have your facts straight and all information possible before making a decision.

Of course guys get lonely, just as girls do but if a lonely girl starts talking to some guy she'll rarely get brushed off. If a guy to some girl 80% or so chances she will brush him off.

Mistyped that:

interesting

[argonfreeman]

Women are so damn selfish, they have no idea what guys go through; -that's why we can stir up their envy of us when we show: we don't give a shit! ... .. alas we do, but you're only worth it if you can handle it... suppression of emotion is a skill many of us master, however, we need to let it out and that does not mean to let it out against the ones we love (that's sick) - I mean sports, enhance ourselves, be men, it's what we do best by design.

[MrOracle]

Of course, but guys are used to keeping their emotions hidden/suppressed, so it isn't always obvious. We kind of only "take our emotions out" when we're alone, or with someone we're really close to.

[Anonymous]

Guys are robots and not really people so we have 0 emotions and are not capable of any feelings OK stupid girl? See I have no feelings that's why I called you stupid.

[ItalianTomatoes]

Thanks for revealing every guy's innermost secret.. :(

[shinnygold17]

Hahah omg xD

[Nomoremrniceguy]

yah.. the innermost secret being insecure about showing emotions cause you're afraid other guys will judge you as weak... pathetic indeed

[G-Daz]

Of course, I know I do but I would never show it or seem like it but I miss my family alot

[Dylan1989]

we sure do. I get pretty lonely at times but I don't really show it.

[Xx_DRE_xX]

I'll tell you right now, I'm the lonliest guy you'll ever meet. I try not to show the look on my face.

[Anonymous]

who do you think is on this internet board? non lonely guys? ;)

[Anonymous]

Yes we do, and we do show it but not as obviously or as much as girls do because this makes us seem less masculine.

[MyNameIsJonas]

No.

But sometimes I want to have sex.

[Anonymous]

why wouldn't they get lonely? it's a human emotion

[Anonymous]

Nope. I am a monster without feelings.

[shinnygold17]
