I've always been in touch with y emotions since 7th grade. I cry a lot honestly (but that's because of my depression). I've never actually viewed men as the "tough"person who isn't suppose to cry or be in touch with his emotional side. I've always just viewed people as people no matter what gender they are. Like I don't know how to stress it enough, people are people, we all have emotions and need to let it out whenever we can't handle whatever is happening to us that moment.
You are hitting the heart of guys like us who are walnuts hard outside having a soft inside. One question why are you posting such a amazing take anonymously.
Because it's scary to post stuff on internet without going anonymous lol
You should learn to take leap of faith, if you are right. But it's better to go anonymous and play it safe
When my last mytake was appreciated by people I thought that I will not go anon anymore buy ugh I like to hide my identity xD
As you wish honey, but keep posting such good and nice takes. Love you :-*
Girls think they are attracted to "nice guys" but in reality they aren't. Thats why the most feminist countries have extremely low pregnancy rates
That's a very post hoc claim. Birth rate trends follow so many factors, like economic prosperity, government stability and types of economy. It's naive to say that a single social view causes a change in birth rate, even if the numbers seem to support it. A possible explanation would be that social movements are more protected under stable governments with successful economies that don't rely on cheap labor, if that is a reason at all. I don't know much about why developing countries have higher birth rate, so I won't make claims that I do.
Being sensitive has a strong positive correlation with virginity and loneliness.
Hahaahahaha XD Then my bf should have been the same!
No because a correlation reflects an average of values. One person doesn't throw off the entire correlation.
But there are MANY people like me who exist. You might not have encountered them yet, but it's all about how empathetic the person is. The more empathetic you are, the more you feel someone's feelings instead of judging them.
then how do you explain the huge success of douche bags who don't care about the feelings of girls? Many girls like some sociopathic tenancies. They like the dominance and confidence that inherently follows it. Sensitivity is associated with weakness. I do agree there are many women like you, but probably 5% tops. That's still 175 million women in the world.
and remember, i didn't say that sensitivity CAUSED virginity and loneliness, just that sensitive people tend to be more introverted and have less dominant/confident traits. They are more concerned with empathy.
Success is never equated to love. They might find MANY girls but would they find true love? Empathy should always exist in true love. One right girl is enough to make a guy's life good. It might take time, but you WILL find someone who appreciate you as you are. And again, sensitive people can be confident as well. And some assholes might pretend to be confident but you never know how deep their self-esteem issues might be.
Well id infinitely prefer success over a lifetime of pure loneliness. And the problem is that often times there is no right girl, or worse yet she's completely uninterested in you. One of the problems with sensitivity is that in the face of rejection they tend to respond much worse because they are more emotional. This leads to additional depressive tendencies which certainly contribute to more introvertedness and less social interaction. And some guys simply cannot be appreciated; they dont have what it takes. Evolution tells us that there should be a range of guys who just aren't involved with the opposite sex--those who are ostracized and dont have romantic qualities. And certain qualities like dominance, extravertedness, emotional fortitude, etc are ones which appear to be predominantly in our current culture.
I agree with you wholeheartedly.
I can't stand stoicism.
Thanks!
Actually, crying just shows that you are not capable of controlling your emotions therefore crying is weak. If you really can't hold back your tears - which happens to everyone once in a while - just make sure you are alone or at least within a private circle.
No. I don't believe so. If controlling your emotions is strength then we must control our laughter as well. After all, it's also an emotion albiet a positive one. Emotions are there to express, not hide. Guys are told to put up with break ups instead of crying. It's not a right thing to say. They are equally hurtful for guys amd girls. Moreover, I cry but I don't consider myself weak in any way.
Who said emotions are there to express? And who said that crying is the only way to express sadness?
Most people don't see their weaknesses.
God. I am not talking here about the way you express your sadness. I am talking about how s sensitive person will express his sadness. You can't deem their way of expression as weak.
I can and just like many others do. Just accept it, crying is a sign of weakness, especially for someone who claims himself to be a man.
A person who consider another man weak due to his tears is certainly the weakest of all.
Right, someone who is not in control of his emotions is stronger than someone who is - female logic.
It's 'MY' take for a reason. That's how I accept things. You don't have to accept them but you don't have to consider someone inferior. You are not sensitive. Great! Some guys are sensitive. Great! It does not matter to ME. Hence, MY TAKE.
This isn't a case of just today's world its been going on for generations. Other than that great take.
Yeah, right. :) Thanks.
Don't fall for this guys, it's just another shit test. Tears = death of relationship.
You are wrong.
Don't try to tell me what my experience has been. I've made the mistake more than once and have been burned every time.
It's not always like something is wrong with YOU. You might be attracting girls who don't appreciate the things you have.
Then it seems like an awful lot of women don't appreciate things. Not going to say all, but enough are that way that it's smart not to be too vulnerable around women.
It is always upto you. You can alter your basic personality, but for a long term relationship, I will appreciate the authentic nature of guy. Anyway, it varies from girl to girl.
I guess you would've loved me when I shed a tear or two a few years back. I was watching an episode of "Rescue 911" on the internet.
Shedding a tear or two does not make us love guys. Being authentic about their emotions do.
Trust me - those tears were authentic. The fact that such a young boy could save his father from dying got to me. I sure as hell didn't expect to have wet eyes.
Haha I am not saying it was fake. But seeing a guy crying over a scene would make me appreciate his empathic side.
I never said you said it was fake.
There is a time and place for everything even sensitivity and emotion.
The moment a woman sees you crying, she WILL lose respect for you. Regardless of how much they say otherwise. It's how men and women are wired.
You can't state an opinion as fact. All women won't. Accept it.
I've seen guy's cry before and It made me want to hug them and let them know everything is going to be fine. Yes some of them were guys I was dating at the time and no I didn't think it took away any of their manly ness. Only way for that to happen is more like if they cried as much as women do. Even then women crying that much is annoying as well.
Hug them, comfort them but not f*ck them...
Woah! How can you state so? Emotions are such a turn on.
There is a very fine line between respect and fear my friend. Emotional indifference is a sign of weakness if you can cry like a man (under correct circumstances) your more of a man who is bottled up tighter than a white mans butt hole.
Men who are open about their emotions are shamed even more than women who are open about their sexuality. Terms like "pussy" "immature" "childish" are just some slurs used to shame men who would dare show some emotion. Women say they want someone who's in touch with their emotions and not afraid to show them because that's what they watch on television... Let them face some real emotion from a guy and they'd run to the hills or dump said guy for some disconnected douche bag because he's "a real man"
We both know that only two emotions exist: horny and pissed off. So, how exactly do you expect me to show those emotions?
Only two ways are to have sex with you and/or punch someone.
Crying over movies nahhhhhhhhh
For loved ones passing away no shame in that. Men shod only show emotions for strong things that invoke them. Period
We are all sensitive. And we all wish we could cry openly.
But if we did, women would not find us attractive anymore, no matter what you say.
You dont need to know how i am feeling or what i am thinking. No one benefits therefore it is a waste of time.
Emotions come as a part of being 'Alpha' or even normal, so obviously, I am with you on the matter. For keeping things in perspective, when did shedding a few tears hurt anyone :-P
We are also sensitive and emotional but not that much it can affect our lives.
i got teary eyed when watching a sad movie... but i cry when i'm alone
And I thought I was the only sensitive guy in the world... Good to know that it's attractive, though I'm taken already :D
the only time iv ever cried was when i was like 13 and a girl kicked me in the nuts lol... it hurt SO bad
