It depends greatly on how easily and how often.
irrespective of gender, this can point to deeper mental health issues.
it also pays to look at why getting so upset and what triggers it.
on the guy front there is also a play called little lost boy, where a guy uses this upset and space to gain sympathy and play a girl. The bits above can get fairly mixed up with that.
it’s important to get perspective as to why you feel upset and learn to spot what triggers it. The taking time out etc is good, thinking things through, pausing etc all great, not so much the getting upset thing.
If the guy is quick to blow his stack and then ask time to reflect on it then he's trying to figure a shit out so he doesn't keep blowing a stack. I would respect them highly nephew he was just a jerk that walked around blowing up all the time and didn't even bother to think about it I probably crack him one right in the grill
Well, they are two different things:
If a guy was quick to get upset, then while I may not “think less of him” per se. I would certainly not want to talk to him that much!
However, IF he did the opposite and asked for time to reflect on something, I would actually think MORE of him! Taking time to cool off, and think about something, shows emotional maturity, and I respect that quality in a guy!
It's okay to get upset. However, how does said person respond when upset? Does sh** hit the fan. Or does this person calmly and rationally articulate the fact that they need time and space?
If the answer is calmly communicates, then I respect it.
If the person blows up and yells at me, I need space or leave me alone like a toddler. That's a no for me.

No. It's not a crime to get upset.. the crime would be to act on it. Saying you need to think/reflect isn't a crime either. Funny how the people with the least self control will claim that others aren't allowed to think and should instead express/do whatever random thoughts come to mind.
Sometimes we just need some time to sit back and think about things and reflect on them, analysing yourself and a situation is a good thing and quite rare especially in men.
Nope, its actually good. He is asking for space, which I would give. Everyone needs space. At least, he's not gonna shout at me, or say something he's gonna regret, so its good in my opinion
No I would thing better of him because he took the time to reflect and talk to me later about it. That's how I am. I need time to cool off
Not at all. Take your time to process things to make the best decision you can.
I think it's the getting upset easily part that is disturbing. Time to reflect on it is a very good, insightful response.
Not at all
