A lot of masculinity has been rooted in the idea of them holding in their emotions, or seeming emotionally robust, but in your view do you think a man can still be considered masculine and also freely share his emotions? especially with women?
I know plenty of emotional men we just show different emotions instead of crying
I know guys who joke around a lot always happy
I know guys with serious anger problems ( testosterone is a factor )
I know guys who become disgusted to the point of vomiting if they go one day without showering
I know guys who still get nervous around girls they like
Men express emotions all the time just because we aren’t a crying blubbering mess women think we don’t have them
We must have control over our emotions because women are too emotional
a woman will fly off the handles and start swinging if someone upsets her or she feels disrespected
If men did that everytime someone upsets us a lot of people would be dead
this is why when men speak to each other we understand that there is a line that we cannot cross must control our tongues and emotions in a civilized manner or we could kill each other
An emotional man is a man who lacks self control a man with no self control is a weak man it’s okay to be weak the problem is remaining weak

Selected A. Men have emotions and should display them more. Nothing wrong with it at all. And a shout out to @menina for her post (since I can't commend it there) -- well said and I agree with her.
Showing emotions is not only good for any human, but it helps bind us and bond us to other humans whether man or woman.
Of course!!! My favorite uncle is the manliest man I have ever known! People see him on the street and they're scared and yeah he looks like a rough wiking but he is such a softy and so in touch with his emotions and he isn't scared to show them and communicate them🙏🏼
He can provide for his family, he can protect them, he can support them emotionally and mentally, he is a good listener when you have problems and he can be strict too as a parent. He isn't scared to put on a skirt, nail polish or whatever to go play with us girls and our barbies as a kid haha He has a strong and valid ego and damn that is a man for me.
He is the best.
I talk to some emotional men. 🤷♀️ What’s the big deal?
I wish them the best. I don’t try to force them to be “less womanly.” I try to remind them of their own gender’s notable, problem-solving cognition, by myself, suggesting possible resolutions and then I sympathize and show them affection, in the sense I relate and it’s okay if they feel like that for..
A MOMENT
lol
but then they gotta get back on the horse. 🐎💪

Any person who says otherwise is simply immature, and no, I don't care how emotional the man is being. When there is a problem, you fix it, that is first priority, but that does not mean there's not going to be emotions involved.
I think both genders in general have different ways of expressing themselves and that alone is neither good or bad.

I know I'll be even more hated for saying this, but yes I think he can be masculine and still show his emotions. To me being masculine has nothing to do with being tough or pretending to be tough. I'm totally against the idea that men shouldn't cry, to me that is toxic AF. Men are human beings and seeing a man crying only makes me feel more connected to him because it makes him more human in my eyes.
Of course a man can be masculine and show his emotions. If a man tells you he loves you, he’s showing his emotions. What a miserable life it would be if men did not ever show any emotion. No happiness, sadness, joy, elation, nothing? No thanks The last thing I want is an emotionally constipated man!
A million percent. Obviously there is a extreme to it as with anything else. We are human we have emotions. Even Jesus himself wept.
It’s not good to hold emotions inside too long and crying is normal and God gave us tears for a reason.
If someone can’t handle human emotions and you’re not able to express yourself. Those people aren’t worth your time
Me and my lady had a hard year over this exact thing. I wasn't processing the deaths in my family well. Actually. . . not at all. And I needed to open up about it.
Yes, a man can still be a man and emotional at the same time. Men are humans after all and humans have emotions.
You can keep your emotions regulated and still feel them and express them. They aren't mutually exclusive. So yeah, even if manliness is tied to emotions not controlling you, you can be manly and emotional.
Yes a man can still be a man and emotional at the same time. men are humans after all and humans have emotions.
ANY GREAT LEADER of men has PASSION. If a leader CANNOT make his audience "SEE" his PASSIONATE VISION, then he will NEVER lead men and get them to sacrifice for The VISION. For example, MLK's speech "I have a dream..."
I feel like no one should be emotional, obviously everyone has emotions but letting them ruin your whole day or make you depressed is different.
Guys can be in touch with their emotions and be masculine.
my husband is muscular and emotion,
