Naw this is adorable kiss me guys 😂😅 but love a bit a of emotions just my only comfort thing is hugs
Hugs are GREAT! I love hugs, hugs fix everything! :)
No not 100% openly if u mean doing it in public like doing it at the mall hell no I would even recognize u as my friend that's some silly shit but with your girlfriend or boyfriend alone in there room or apt than yeah its cool but I'm not saying its not kool cause a person that can cry is stronger than someone that can't
Ok listen guys can show emotion ONLY to people who will care no stranger or someone you barely know is coming to your aid if your a guy so you should only show emotion around family relationship partners or friends
You’re not female so crying doesn’t benefit you in the long run. Eons of male experience is not wrong. You aren’t so special that you know better than all of your ancestors
I essentially agree with the statement but I can't cry if I want to. I'm almost unable to cry. I have experienced depression and ups and downs but even if I'm devastated I can't or do not cry. Almost wish I could.
Exactly
In my country both men and women are shamed for crying and being emotional.
I noticed that in the u. s. state where I went to college (Pennsylvania).
What country are you from?
@Boppy She's from France, I am from Britain.
I never knew France had that kind of social construct, they never seem like that when you see them on TV in the news, it always appears like they are actually rather openly emotional people?
I use my emotions like a rhetorical device to communicate. This allows me not only to express an emotion, but to communicate it. Nobody has any benefit if a person just expresses themselves, communication is far more effective.
Someone needs to tell other guys to quit ridiculing men who do show emotion.
TLDR - but from what I can see you've been fed a complete line of bullshit by the FI. And believed it!!!
You pull this crap with any woman and you'll be toast. I guarantee it.
This feminist society wants men to cry, appear weak. If a men cries a female instantly loses all sexual attraction to the man. Biology does not lie, can't argue with science
No it’s not. A man should be emotionally strong. Women are the more emotional gender. We shouldn’t confuse genders. My father is tough and strong and so is brother.
Being emotional every now and then in healthy though.
@Supernatural_fanatic A man’s role is to provide and protect which means he needs to be in control of his emotions. I wouldn’t feel safe with a man who cries. I’ve never seen my brother cry. He’s happily married to a good woman and has a son. And I know my nephew will grow up to be a strong man too.
In modern society where its easy to gain food and survive gender dont have a role. Men should be strong but not always and the key word us should we can't decide for everyone how they must be alike if someone fells better when he's more emotional there's nothing bad about it at all
You shouldn't be relying on the strength of others to be safe, you should strengthen yourself be keep yourself safe because those you rely on won't always be there.
You are 100% wrong about the emotional part, men are emotional but we are forced to believe we aren't allowed to show it, your dad was likely in this situation as a child and had it burned into his mind while growing up that he can't open up.
It is NOT the role of a man to provide and protect, there is no assigned roles, you protect yourself and the ones you love, so that protection should come from women and men, not just from the man.
I love how you're trying to justify how men should bear all the burden because of how weak you are as a person. It's pathetic.
And we wonder why men commit suicide more then women?
My wife suffers chronic depression. She isn't empathetic most of the time, she doesn't support me. So I bear the weight of the whole family, the finances and everything else. Because she has days she can't even get out of bed. 😓 But I keep going, I cry when it gets overwhelming and stayed stoic as best I can.
So do You even know how hard that is? It isn't easy.
So good for your brother, your father and your uncle.
But not everyone is built the same and societies obsessive need to generalize the sexes emotional is absurd.
I am in complete control of my emotions if i need to be, but a women like you does not deserve a guy like me capable of controlling them. Because around you i should not have to.
I'll pass. It's okay until a woman sees you crying then uses it as ammunition against you for the rest of your life.
No one ever said crying isn't ok for men. It's just repulsive to women. Cry all you want, just be aware of how that communicates your mating status.
No it's not okay if you want to have sex with them. Just cry like a girl and she will disgust you really quickly.
Let me be clear crying is cool the or ur reason for crying is and should be the concern
I agree completely. Good take.
Thank you and I am glad you agree so much, I hope my post helps raise the confidence in men and help girls understand how to treat guys :)
No problem man. Yeah, I hope so too.
Can we get a clap for this dude?
Oh thank you! :)
Nah its not that we are taught we just dont like talking about it unless we bring it up
If only all men realized this.
I like emotional guys ❤️
Great take
Cheers :)
