I'm emotional too, and not ashamed of it. There are Men out there who can be hurt just as badly as Women, and we shouldn't be ashamed of it.
Forbidden! Man fuck what people think. Be all emotional as you want, those who hide their emotion until they can't feel no more are monsters.
You have no idea how emotional I get whenever I see better weight benches on sale for cheaper than my basic one I bought at full price. 😰
Western society has forced ridiculous beliefs and expectations on men. We're emotional beings. Denying that is a great way of moving towards insanity, depression and suicide.
It isn't, that's just a way to bully you away from girls.
It is _all_ about emotions/sensibility (emotionallity)
There is also a part where girls are slapped/punished for _any_ initiative they take when young - so they end up observing and going with feelings to avoid the same outcome of being punished, where boys are allowed to make mistakes so they are 3xpected to figure out a way to be happy (and even make girls happy).
Since they get punished for mistakes in the open, girls simply develop a habit of hiding what they do/never admitting it until the environment they are in is so permissive they are allowed to do ANYTHING (they typically share how they sinned and with whom with their moms, moms do the same, and it ends up being the sorority vs the fraternity, instead of individual relations and closeness we all crave)
From birth boys are programmed not to cry. They are told real men do not cry. Then they grow up and do the same thing with their own kids.
Not forbidden.
More like some people look down upon.
If it was forbidden there would be legit punishment for it
it's not. you can be emotional in very specific situaiton that women find enearing. but that's very narrow. if you're being emotional outside of that, you're gonna be seen as a bitch.
Because in the past men were doing the toughest tasks and being a crybaby was completely useless.
There's a name for it, but the term triggers most guys here so much, even though none of them understand its meaning. Anyone wanna take a guess?
A name for what?
The answer to the question, why there's still so much social pressure on men to be "tough" and not sensitive, cry, etc.
No idea. You tell us why, because that’s not us causing it, that’s a male pathology
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah but you rather be with a brute macho guy because he's strong and not with an emotional guy no matter how nice he is or how pure he is because he's weak and emotional so you don't like him.
Nope. Don’t project your preconceptions on to me
Ok sorry Ma'am, I'm a bit insecure, that's all
Insecure or not, don’t project onto other people. Ask them what they want.
What do you want?
I just want a guy who’s able to have fun with me. I don’t want an emotionally vacant louse
I understand, i can have fun, life is serious enough as it is, so i completely get your point, it's not like I'm always crying lol 🤣 sometimes it's time to let go and have fun.
Exactly. And if my guy wants to cry, go for it. It’s healthy to let it out.
Don’t listen to the goat boy. :/
I like her
Well I’d hope so hon lol
I know you. I have esp
Good 😌❤️❤️
I got it?
Love
Because there double standards in society & that's just how things work. There's nothing wrong with showing emotional but just make sure you're around people you trust that you know won't use it against you
xD it's not forbidden but you ought be more in control of your emotions.
Well there is being emotional which i can agree with and there is being dramatic which I can not and I have seen both n men
How did @WowwGirl comment get thumbed down? What she said is scientific fact.
@uptowngirl88
pussy men hate me. They know I'm manlier then them. Half haven't been in a fight let alone been in the woods, most are scared of guns. Basically everything I like a real man does not pussys. They can kick rocks, have a good cry, and watch the note book AGAIN
It's a bunch of whiny betas on here🤣 and whichever girl thumbed you down is a pick-me-keisha 🤣
Why are you girls so mean? What have betas done to you? We just want to be loved too and date girls like Alphas
You wanna date Alph males and feel two girls under 130 lbs are bullying you?
@uptowngirl88 did I hear that right?
@bamesjond0069 I'm a bully and a bitch for not wanting men crying around the town?
Thoughts 👀
@WowwGirl you heard right 🤣. He's not making sense
Cowabunga dude
@WowwGirl
You wanna date Alph males and feel two girls under 130 lbs are bullying you?
@Uptowngirl88 did I hear that right?
What you wrote doesn't make any sense, i DO NOT want to date Alpha males.
Don't raise your typing at me I'll have her beat you up🤨
@WowwGirl I'm sorry Ma'am, I didn't mean to raise my typing at you, i was just explaining what i meant, i would never disrespect you.
Not testosterone, but rather estrogen, the “female” hormone, is most directly responsible for the development of brain circuits in males that guide aggressive and territorial behaviors – at least in mice.
so you are saying if my dog gets run over in the middle of the town abd dies instantly and I cry over it I am a pussy man🤔
@jspl90 death is different but that's abyut
About it
@WowwGirl death is very, it makes anyone cry, man or woman
I just said that dear
They don't listen or read🤣 . Just slow af on here. Wtf is wrong with these dudes? Peas for brains I swear
So you would never date one of those dudes? You think we're inferior so you don't want our inferior sperm 😭😭😭😭
@shydude1991 if this "alpha vs beta male" bullshit thrills you, go to pornhub, there's a lot of these stories. in reality there's ISN'T.
@WowwGirl @Uptowngirl88
You tough girls are acting like thugs who need iron dicks while bitching about a thumbdown! What? Chill chill, the world is safe.. Much hugs to you 😉 I guess trolls will never quit trolling. Lol
Y'all act fuckin tough for internet trolls. I would bet that you wouldn't have the nerve to say this shit to anyone's face. I'm not even that scary of a person and I could take you both.
@lakotabebebe i would pee myself in front of you
I don't know any of them @uptowngirl88 😂😂😂🤷 we are popular it seems. Some dude in pink just threatened me and some icon warrior.
Wait I forgot 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I'm out bread 😞😞😞😞😞 nobody likes me😭😭😭😭😭 my elbows😳

Because its expected that you control yourself and not whine. Your emotions are your own private business and should remain so
It isn't forbidden at all. That's in your head. Some people frown on it which is silly but does not make it forbidden.
I’m not hella sensitive but I feel for people on a deeper level and sometimes I feel sad for people that I don’t even know, wonder if it has anything to do with me being a cancer 🤔
Causes Pussy Drought of the Highest order. Lots of women will bullshit others that its fine for a man to show emotion, but its just Virtue Signaling. No one likes a teary eyed Soy Boy.
What do you mean 'forbidden'? It's not like it's illegal. It's frowned upon because it's interpreted as a sign of weakness in our society and our society places men in the role of protector.
Us men are suppose to be strong, not little cry babies when things go sour.
👏🏽👏🏽 @Hispanic-Cool-Guy is the definition of a real man
Haven't ever experienced it's forbidden. Maybe you just overreact.
I cried in front of a female friend once about a girl I was dating. Never heard from her again... some friend Huh?
What a bitch.
male tears are just a pussy juice transfer mechanism whereby women who are around a man shedding tears their pussies dry up respectively
Because it's an open display of weakness
if a 'man' cries in my presence my opinion of him fucking plummets to below that of an animal
What makes you think it's forbidden? You just do you.
Why are you emotional? (Not judging; just curious.)
Because when men become pussies the world grinds to a halt.
because men are capable of more violence and destruction when they're emotional.
What is this "crying" you humans speak of? On my home planet Pathos, we have never heard of such a thing.
It’s not forbidden. And if it is you need to question those who by.
Its not forbidden... The same women who say that they want sensitive men, will drop men who show emotion..
Men are supposed to be mean, aggressive, uncaring, and circumcised.
It’s not forbidden, but it is looked down on by some cultures.
It’s not forbidden. Just don’t expect any respect in this society.
It's not forbidden, but men are supposed to be physically and mentally strong as n unaffected.
Estrogen causes emotions is why. Men should be testosterone driven
Lol i guess I'm a sissy guy then
Did you see my poll?
Which one?
Passive or assertive
Link?
Girls, Girls: would you rather have a passive or assertive guy? ↗
Surprised me
Wow, 88% want assertive, I'm fucked.
Crazy
I know right, women love Alphas
Woman lv men. Men are strong
I've struggled because I'm too aggressive so nobody is perfect
I guess I'm not a man then
Actually testosteron causes strong emotions too
@friendzoned4life not tears
Facts 💅🏾
So you're basically saying men shouldn't cry
In public no
@WowwGirl I stopped denying my self to cry in public no I have a lot less anger management issues
@friendzoned4life well that's fine but I was asked
Ok but we can cry in private right?
Course
The way I understand it is estrogen caused sadness and tears. Testosterone causes more anger and fight response.
@TsundereMatrix got it👍
You nailed it
I even hear that estrogen is the hormone that causes aggression. For men to exhibit aggression testosterone gets converted to an estrogen mimic called estradiol.
Here is a UCSF study that looks into how the estrogen producing neurons influence aggression in mice: www.ucsf.edu/.../estrogen-producing-neurons-influence-aggression-both-sexes
Here is a study published by the CBC that says that testosterone leads to fairness not aggression. The women who were in the study only acted aggressive because they were under the assumption that testosterone is the aggression hormone regardless of whether they got the placebo or not. www.cbc.ca/.../...-aggression-researchers-1.796578
Even when my dad died no one really wanted to be there for me. Maybe as a child. But not as a man.
For the same reason male heterosexual desire is limited to just a woman tuna cannon
Because it makes them look vulnerable which is not acceptable..
It shouldn't be forbidden for men to be sensitive and emotional.
My friend actually like sensitive guys. When I was in Korea i heard of girls said the same thing
It's not, it's just clearly not attractive to women
It's not. Why would it be?
cause else you land in jail
People are emotional. But if you're a man, you have to be a little tough too.
But I'm not tough
Interesting how the only man to reply is the one that said you have to be tough doing. Look at the women’s answers. This isn’t an issue within women, it’s an issue on social pressures of other men
By tough I don't mean being a freak. Acting masculine.
What is acting masculine? It’s normal to cry, it’s normal to feel emotional, it’s normal to feel stressed, mad, angry, sad, etc
@kyleelyn199723 Don't you understand what you're reading? I'm not saying act like a freak, I just said be a little more manly tough.
That makes absolutely no sense at all. “More manly” so being more “manly” is exiting out your feelings? Toxic masculinity
@kyleelyn199723 I'm not talking about bravado, I'm just saying it should be more masculine. I'm emotional too, but you shouldn't be like a girl.
Our balls will fall off and we'll become girls!
It's only forbidden if you wanna get laid.
I wanna get laid, what should i do?
Ask a guy who can get laid. Or listen to the Mating Grounds podcast. Or read the accompanying book, What Women Want.
You can cry all you want but people will
Call you a p***y lmaooo
Plus one for honesty. Cunt honesty but honesty nonetheless.
You're a humiliatrix 😭😭😭😭
What? I’m not lying! If you see a girl sobbing vs a guy sobbing, you’re gonna call him a puss. No one coddles guys! Sad but it’s true
And then we end up shooting everyone up and society wonders why, stop creating Elliot Rodgers please!
You sir, I am reporting you to the police. Because people aren’t applauding you for crying you’re gonna kill everyone? You’re fkn wack
I didn't say that
I don't think it's forbidden
Whoever thinks that way are Stupid.
Patriarchy and society created those stereotypes
No. Nature did
@grega239 someone with some sense around here
@grega239 what?
@grega239 Actually, males in nature are as emotional as females. They're aggressive, show passion for their lovers, and mourn for their dead just as people do (the species that mourn their dead anyways). In ancient history, emotions were encouraged before Romans came in with their stricter beliefs. Emotions show intelligence, and hiding emotions just makes you look like a dunce!
@lakotabebebe if thats true how comes i have hardly felt any feelings in my life? its not about hiding them either, i just dont feel a need to let anything out cos there is nothing to let out
u sure know a lot about males not being 1 yourself, im pretty sure whether u read that is wrote by females making guesses about us, im pretty sure by nature we are less emotional
if my mum or dog died i wouldn't give a shit to be honest,. i dont mourn
@lakotabebebe yes, in nature. And even then its significantly less than women.
Show passion for their lovers. Yea in the privacy of their home. Not out in public.
We do mourn our dead but again in our private time.
Im pretty sure it was the greeks who came up wit stoicism.
No emotions dont show intelligence.
Men dont hide their emotions, we express them less and usually not to others.
My emotions are no ones businesses
it's not forbidden, it's just cliche
It's not forbidden, it's just not helpful.
Well.. it's not. We all have feelings
Not at all
You’re such a pussy.
It's not forbidden
It's not forbidden🤣
