I’m sure that’s true for some men. I like to hold a woman and do what I can to calm her down first. Then I will talk to her. Remind her I’m here and do what I can to make the situation better. Help her come out of this nice and strong.
Would you rather I explain to her (or any woman) how I think her behavior is pathetic and like that of an infant because she never learned to control her emotions?
Why because I think the one that blows up emotionally is the one that is guilty of causing the situation. Expecting the guy to anything beyond trying to contain and limit the outrage is kind of dumb. You do not want to reward that kind of behavior. Doesn't matter if the guy did something wrong or not that caused the explosion. An adult shouldn't behave like that.
I would never say "calm down." I always try to validate people's feelings, even if I don't understand them. In this situation I would simply let her talk. . . or not, if she doesn't want to. I'll follow her lead.
its because men are designed to fix problems so they're trying to fix it instead of just embracing the emotions... that being said women sometimes feel too many emotions and do actually need to be told to calm down
Yes but also because depending on where this occurs, he is embarrassed and/or concerned that someone will misunderstand what is going on and call the cops.
That is sad. I guess the idea of "snitches get stitches" runs rampant there. I call the cops every time but then I believe that only cowards run and hide. The only way to get rid of bad people is to stand up as a group to them.
No... sometimes it is to try and answer a question / get a word in or if the guys feels they are overreacting and are trying to provide some perspective on the issue, problem, situation
Not sure its from us not knowing what to say, but men sometimes don't want to hear the issues and try to be the peace maker all the time. Also, we may just want it to end quicker. 🤣🤣

Damn straight I'll tell my girl to calm down.

Whenever I cried as a kid my mom called me pathetic and told me the more I cried the less she cared.
Maybe that was a good lesson after all.
He is saying the truth from his perspective. It's that simple.
You seem kinda emotional about this

Yeah you're gonna need to calm down and stop acting so upset
Maybe you shouldn't read emotions in sentences that doesn't have any. I am not upset. I am a guy we don't react like that to our opinions.
No you're definitely upset and you need to calm down before I can have a rational discussion with you about why you're wrong
@kqueen 😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks 👍
That was a weak troll.
@Juxtapose yeh but it worked
@kqueen I guess so haha xD
It's because when you're losing your shit, you're incapable of moving forward. Therefore: "try to calm down first and stop losing your shit"
It's kinda difficult to deal with anything logically and responsibly with someone freaking out and causing a scene.
I'd say it to them
Nothing wrong with that
What guys should say is "calm down, make me a cup of tea and we'll talk about it". Try it guys.
How about you make me a cup of tea and don't get too emotional about it

Afraid we MAY SAY---TOO MUCH!!! xxoo
Once, then when I almost lost my life I decided to change my approach.
No I say that because it kills me seeing her in that pain and I want to calm her down so she doesn't hurt herself more
Yes but also because depending on where this occurs, he is embarrassed and/or concerned that someone will misunderstand what is going on and call the cops.
People don't call cops where I live
That is sad. I guess the idea of "snitches get stitches" runs rampant there. I call the cops every time but then I believe that only cowards run and hide. The only way to get rid of bad people is to stand up as a group to them.
Homes get burned
It means shut up I’m trying to fix this shit and your bitchings just stressing me out.
Nope, that’s to manipulate and control you.. that’s why they say it.
Its more about how guys talk with each other. Thats something a guy would say to a guy "stop man, relax and think about it."
I never say that to a upset lady. I am not stupid. Lol. I let her get it out. And then say, you good? Lol
Smart
My father did not raise no fool. Lol
Mostly yes. I think anyway.. I never have to say that to my wife though.
Oh gosh mine does

Because we need quiet to properly assess the situation and possible resolutions.
