Do guys get butterflies in their stomach too?

[kawaiiguineapig]

I know girls get fluttery and blushy feelings when something happens with their crush or their boyfriend says something cute or kisses them. Does this happen to boys? And of all ages?

[Apope16]

The short answer is YES! Absolutely! And during ALL ages that a girl has them.

For me, I think I get it 20 thousand times worse than the average person. You see I have anxiety from being sexually abused as a kid. So falling in love or connecting in a deep way is pretty scary. I used to hyperventilate and get panic attacks from liking a girl, going on a date, or just kissing. Girls would usually just see me as a nerdy clutz of a guy or someone who was just absent minded. In reality I was going nuts mentally and emotionally.

Since I have gotten help its normalized. But funny story... I have a HUGE crush on a student dentist who has been operating on me. We've become pretty close and had a lot of deep conversation. But here is the funny part... in the first 5 appointments where she would check my blood pressure... it would be HIGH blood pressure. And mind you... I am a very slim and fit guy who is in great shape. I always have normal blood pressure readings too... but when I am with her? Always read as high blood pressure.

At the same dental clinic I had appointments with other girl student dentists. I even got a tooth pulled! Each time read normal.

I only had high blood pressure with HER. I am pretty sure she knew why too. She kept saying that she considered the trip "up the stairs" when doing the readings. haha. Bullshit. I was crushing BIG time. Last appointment she was winking at me like 5 times and I was staring at her deep blue eyes... I swear to god there is a heaven on earth and it is in those eyes!

[Apope16]

thanks for the MHO!

[Levin]

Must admit, that the long years have oftentimes jaded this sensitive heart.

However, I'm just as sensitive as ever. If the right girl was to kiss me, it would set off an explosion.

The thing that any person, any man, older men have to do, is to keep their innocence, keep renewing, to be childish at heart.

Music gives me goosebumps.

[CocoBat]

Why wouldn't they? Guys are statistically more likely to eat caterpillars than girls

[AJC997]

This made me smile

[GiveMeAllTheCookies]

Love this answer. 😂

[jennifer_bloom]

I would assume they do cause I know guys that get nervous around their girl crush.

[KaliMe]

Holy s*** yes!. For a long time I thought I was a girl because I got more butterflies than they did. When I was young I was very awkward and shy and if a girl spoke to me I would almost melt inside. Sometimes even to this day even though I'm partnered it still happens. If I find somebody I am very attracted to and they speak to me I often find myself fidgeting and babbling wow trying to find words to say. It could be why had a hard time getting a date sometimes. They probably thought I was some kind of goofy confused lunatic that had escaped from the love asylum.

[OlderAndWiser]

Do butterflies get people in their stomach? :) :) :)

Yes, guys get that nervous feeling, too. It happens more often when we are younger. As we get experience with dating, it begins to fade and then it may happen only if we meet a girl who has us entirely captivated.

[MedievalDestiny]

Absolutely. Sometimes I think it's more so. LOL

I'm an older person and I feel like every passing day is another lost day to meet someone and get that special feeling... and believe me that is a sad thought. We also love that feeling of falling in love.

[JackSmy]

Even at my age, old enough to be your father, I still feel nervous, unsure, when asking some lady out!! Even the second, and third date, sometimes, if I really like her! I see her feeling the same, and maybe for more mature people, there is more pressure, and more feelings?

[Sexy_Questions]

Yes I get butterflies in my stomach too but in a good way. I get kinda shaky and can't stop thinking about it when a girl responds to my messages on here with something sexy. I wish a few of us could meet up for a bit of harmless no strings fun, that would be so awesome, but also knowing how horny you are just by the way you act and talk to me is also really fucking horny, I fuckin love it!

C'mon guys/girls, cum chat with me, lets get naughty :)

Xxxx

[WhiteSteve]

That was mostly a sports thing for me, pre-game haha. I guess it’s happened a few times though. I need to be really into the girl, I think. There’s a different kind of exhilaration with a hook-up type thing, but it’s not butterflies.

[lightbulb27]

definitely! Used to get them at starting line of every race... must be anticipation. Had them heavy in HS with the girl I was nuts about, and at other times in the romance circles. not sure those butterflies are good or bad.

[markscott]

Guys probably get some of the same feelings that women describe as butterflies in their stomach, but guys would probably use a different term to describe the feeling.

[AJC997]

Like what?

[fjh80]

Yes, absolutely!

I remember when I was 14, the girl I was into stepped onto the bus, and I reacted just like that.

[Dark93]

Oh most definitely. I remember once in middle school there was a tiny rumor that a girl liked me and when I first saw her after hearing that rumor my stomach definitely felt like it did a full double backflip lol.

[MannMitAntworten]

Yeah when I was a kid I guess one could equate that to what I felt. I was probably12 the last time anything remotely resembling these sensations existed for me.

[El_Heffe]

Hell yes ! I still get butterflies on first dates with women and especially on hard crushes. The desire that builds up is sometimes. Hard to deal with.

[rowyo122]

It totally happens to us too!! It's the best feeling in the world

[Damiankane]

For guys I guess we get butterflies somewhere else if you know what I mean 😏😏😏

[Nik1hil]

Well..
Well...
Not until
like girls we start swallowing cocoons of romantic story.. Or fictional love..

[Passinggas]

Well believe it or not I was outside working and breathing hard and I accidentally took one in and swallowed it. So, yeah I have.

[MannySimms]

Butterflies? No... Erections? Sometimes...

[lucazafer]

Yes it does, not of all ages , as you get older , you learn to control just a bit

[Guanfei]

Yep. And if things get a bit serious, it's a whole pack of wolves fighting down there.

[Ayer93]

Yup. Right before having to do a presentation or interviewing people. And once for a crush I had in high school.

[StarlightNights]

Oh yes! Absolutely. If I really love someone or at least have a crush, that feeling does tend to surface a lot.

[NoPoliticsPleeease]

Everyone gets them and not just when it comes to being in love when you are worried real bad you can get them too

[Twalli]

I get butterflies in my stomach every time I know I am going on a date ki r comparable thing. I am pretty chill if its just a large social gathering that we're both attending.

[chuck991]

For sure. I get them when I'm about to perform with my band or give a presentation to an audience.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes i get butterflies in my stomach when i meet a girl for the first time.

[sonnysunshine]

Men have all the exact feelings you do but we are taught not to express it. We are nervous but we have to act cool. And most women expect that.

[stuntbrain]

I haven't in years. Not only are they difficult to catch without a giant net, but butterflies also taste gross unless covered in bbq sauce

[RedThread]

Wait I thought I was the only one who ate butterflies!

[Anonymous]

yea it kinda happens to me when I'm near a chick I find really attractive & I can't help it. The feeling only goes away as I get comfortable with that person & at the same time it'll remain buried just beneath the surface

[PopeGregoryIX]

Hell, yes! And when you're considering asking a crush out too.

[Hurdleez-Swampede]

I have never known a butterfly to get into my stomach.

You're pretty.

[Snakeyes7]

If we didn’t, we wouldn’t have crushes like you do.

[Anonymous]

Yes. Very often when we see someone strikingly pretty.

[Anonymous]

Yes I remember when I went to date with my first love, I would usually feel giddy and very exited. Too bad she played with my feelings.

[MostPaloney23]

I'll get a little giddy

[FirmlyAboveAverage]

Personally, my heart just melts

[esotericstory]

Yeah lol, and weakness int he knees.

[Miristheiss]

Nah, I get hummingbirds.

[MecheD]

Always does for the right person

[John_Doesnt]

Only when I eat caterpillars.

[Thatsamazing]

Only if she's hot/pretty.

[genericname85]

obviously... we're human just like you.

[AnimeMan205]

I get them! It's actually fun!

[Massageman]

Oh yes. Sometime we even get vultures!

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

Oh yes, trust me we do.

[bklynbadboy1]

Sure we do especially when I get nervous

[Mikael818]

Yea.. why not.. we too human beings.

[Daniel3035]

No we’re invulnerable.

[blondfrog]

Yeah I turn into a pussy sometimes too.

[OfDeath]

Yeah. They are delicious

[Iron_Man]

Yes we do before boxing matches

[Liam_Hayden]

I don't but I am certain some do.

[John1217]

Yes we do but most won't admit it

[NightOwl8801]

I have before when I was younger

[Evil_Chuck]

Of course. We're not a different species. xD

[Therisinghero12]

Yeah, just a general human thing I guess xD

[GreenGold1992]

[jackyl67]

Yes I do and it is crazy if you gettem

[MarketNews]

Sure, that and other stuff. It's a nice feeling.

[IceyGengar]

Oh yes it does. I'm 25 and it still happens to me.
