Who is more emotionally driven: men or women?
Superb Opinion
Women get courted and women get the compliments so essentially if that stops it does bother them. I mean look at how many girls and women seek attention on social media. Women get moody as well. From my experiences in elementary to Jr. high to high school and university female teachers or profs were always emotional towards students for things such as the way they dressed or not handing in an assignment on time. I am still a virgin, 35 years old, in grad school, never had a girlfriend... I'm guessing even an average looking girl by the time she is now a woman at the age of 35 probably had a few flings, at least two boyfriends, had sex minimum at least 3 times with different dudes. The reason why I said that is because women take break ups pretty harshly as well so their emotional state gets the best of them to also act like guys who act like players. Women will go based on emotions to go out and party and flirt with different dudes. There's the emotional element where women always want to feel nurtured and cuddled, I mean why do you think girls say "I want to be with a tall guy" ? I don't tell girls I want you to be tall to protect me... What guy says that to a girl? :-s

Social opinions ≠ the truth.
Usually people will say that women are more emotional because of what they have learned, instead of going by objective data.
I've noticed a few things that are consistent as I have been studying these aspects for a while.
1. People still think women are more emotional
2. People describe "being emotional" very differently, which makes the previous point quite vague and ambiguous.
3. Emotional expressions are not the same as being more emotional overall.
Men express their emotions in a different way, and often they do not seek for help or support, because they are expected to be more independent.
That's one very important point that people often overlook or forget.
Emotions are way too complex, and we cannot tell which sex is more emotional because of this.
Emotions are not just actions. They're highly complex and come in many, many different forms. We cannot box emotions into certain categories.
People tend to associate emotions with crying, becoming attached to someone, and being nurturing to a child or another person.
But emotions are a lot more than just that. As I said before, they're complex. Emotions can come in many different forms, such as anger, aggression, violence, and even bottling up your emotions are based on emotions themselves. Just because you have a serious, resting bitch face does not mean you aren't feeling anything. Just because you are ignoring someone doesn’t mean you're non-emotional. Avoiding intimacy and emotional attachment also often come from an emotional standpoint.
Most people, again, overlook or ignore all of these points, so they take the easy route and go with what the majority is saying instead of diving deep into that and analyzing whether the popular opinion is true or not.

Both. If seen men flip put because an item got moved on the shelves of walmart. Men get upset over losing a game of COD. Also, men punching each other for looking at the other funny.
Also, men in their late teen, to late 20s, are more likley to get into miadeamonrs and crimes, likefighting, killing, etc, because they can't control themselves.
Men however, are more likley to suppress their emotions. While women dont have such things holding them bck zd which makes it seem like women are more emotional. It's the same reason men are more likley to have mental breakdowns when they hit middle age, because eventually, all that suppressing gets to you.
So, I think both genders are equally as emotional, it's just men are more likley to suppress it.

Anyone who says that both are equally driven by emotion clearly lacks knowledge about the difference between two sexes (to put it lightly). Men are wired to be logical thinkers, while women base their decisions primairly off of what they feel at that moment. That is not to say that women are incapable of using logic and reason. They simply do what feels right to them (in that moment). Hence why so many guys are left falbbergasted when a woman shows some interest and then she gives them the cold shoulder. Or think they can win a woman over by showering her with compliments or flowers and then complain that they "only go for bad boys". This is all genetic and serves as a mechanism to increase the chances of survival. In general, women get more moodswings than men, especially during puberty. Women can adapt to the situation that they are in. Women's survival instinct are different from men. There is a lot more to it, but I'll leave you with this.

I gotta say women.
Men are simple and think more logically - from choosing partners to reacting... with one exception: EGO. Apart from ego, we women are meant to be more emotional. But when it comes to a guy’s ego, he’s either a simp who’s gonna try to get you back because you offended him or he’s an Alpha who just lets it roll off of him. There is no in-between. -
Both genders are equally driven by emotions. Just different ones. If you want to call women overly emotional, look at how many male politicians have ruined their careers over an affair with a young girl or how many wars have been started over nothing more than pride and ego. Women get a bad rep for making overly emotional decisions, but a quick look at history would show us that men can be and have been, just as emotively charged.

We are both very emotional.
Every person brings different side of you, I fell in love with a guy who would make me feel super “crazy”
And I had a boyfriend who would me feel “safe”
For guys, sometimes they feel jealous of others and they start acting weird (their friends life, or their Friends girlfriend)
Or perhaps they meet a girl who makes them feel like they need to be super romantic, than that girl beaks their hearts and they just become assholes smh 🤦🏾♀️

Both men and women are emotionally driven because we're all human and we have feelings. However, based on societal standards, women are more expressive of their emotions than men while men are encouraged to be more logical. This is because, for centuries, it was never considered feminine for women to express their opinions openly. Submissiveness was feminine and submissiveness doesn't encourage logic. In many cases throughout history, the man was always dominant in many aspects of society and even the household, and often spoke for women. It's also been considered less masculine in society for men to express their emotions. Nowadays, as women are becoming more vocal and expressive and with overall traditional gender roles becoming less strict as they were in the past, it's easier to tell that both men and women are emotionally driven in many aspects of life.

Most defintirly women. Look at politics, we have never had so many women in power- it hasn't gone well. They are literally letting cities burn rather than install discipline and order, masculine treats are sorely missed for emotion and anger.
The problem with the modern man, is modern women and the number of boys's raised by them. I keep hearing "toxic" masculine (which doesn't exist) but we do have women consumed with a lack of masculinity rising the majority of children. I don't expect women to take on responsibility for this but the feminine influence isn't all positive once it was weapoised.
43% of boys are raised by single mothers in the US. 78% of teacher are female. So, close to 50% of boys have 100% feminine influence at home and 80% feminine influence at school. Toxic masculinity isn't the problem, a lack of masculinity is!

it actually depends on person, not so on gender
but society drills men more to use rather logic than emotions which results in them not acknowledging their emotions and acting on them on subconcius level often mascareading them under some bullshit logical explanation... thats why a lot of men are motionally unavailable and with extremely low emotional intelligence
socity also enourages women to be more kind, emotionaly open so they are less likely to develop critical logical thinking which they should work on and not indulge in things mostly cause of their feelings
but logically sad part is that since being emotional is more seen as womans trait its as any thinf that is women like its considered - weak. Thats the biggest issue. Emotions are not less relevant than logical thinking nor its always better to not act on them as men think and are thoght that way. Hey may anger and passion can kill you man, how is that weak? -
I’m gonna have to say men. I’ve seen adult men break their own TVs over a game of 2k. I’ve seen men pull out guns because one disrespected the other. I’ve seen one man beat another man over a fucking joke. Men are crazy emotional over the teeniest tiniest things, they just never want to admit it. When they say women are emotional they mean we cry over stuff. But rage is an emotion, and it’s one a lot of men refuse to acknowledge and never learned to properly control.

I really want to give you a well thought out response, but your question is too broad to answer. There are many questions asked on GAG that generally equate to the question you are asking. Fact that that personality, not gender, drive the majority of answers to these questions.
What drives me emotionally differs from drives my wife emotionally. I don't think there is a way to balance it out to get a clear, concise answer you're seeking. Just know that things that drive you emotionally are going to be different from everybody else. That much I do know.
If you'd like to ask about something more specific, I'd be glad to take a stab at answering your follow-up question (s).
Hope this finds you well. Best wishes. -
This is a tough one because even though people are inclined to say women are more emotional, we first need to find out what emotional even means.
Men overall are more likely to commit crimes and are usually more impulsive and aggressive. All of these behavioral traits are based on emotions. Crimes of passion for example are usually done by men as well. the difference is that women show their feelings differently (crying, talking to friends) and men do this by being aggressive and becoming violent. -
To be fair not even scientists are completely sure and they can’t arrive to a consensus. Men often suppress their emotions and learn early on that they shouldn’t express them. Women exaggerate these same emotions even if they’re as intense as men’s. This is the only thing psychologists and scientists have agreed on.
Hopefully that makes sense -
Both men and women because we're all human beings and we are have emotions which is what makes us human although some people maybe more emotional than others but some people maybe less emotional than others but we are not any more different than eachother but it is what makes us human beings and who we are but society today tells us how to feel and what to feel and we all feel emotions differently regardless of what gender we are but no one is immune to emotions especially when society tries to control us and it's not wrong to feel emotions and it's what it means to be human

What does it mean to be emotionally driven? Beside, what type (s) of emotions are you referring:
joy
ecstasy
love
anger
fear
anxiety
nervous
grief
hatred
cold
unsympathetic
surprise
frustration
embarrassment
uncertain
envious — or
sympathy? -
It's easy. Men are definitely more emotional, because they do not accept that they're equally emotional to women. And they get angry when a woman says men are highly emotional. It makes them argue with them to no end.
-
I say both because men have a different way of being emotional than women i believe because the different hormones they have. But men have been known to internalize them more and it all coming out in a big way where a lot of women get things out right away so it seems we are more emotional. Our hormones lead to more tears where mens lead to more anger.

Women, or a actually think they are more group and culture driven, rather then emotional driven. They do a lot of stupid stuff because she follows what she think is the group mentality. I guess you call it insecurities and blame emotions. But this is why most girl are mediocre at stuff because they try to please the group not herself.
-
Definitely both because in my case I’ve met more emotional guys but it could be because of my own personality type but yeah tends to be guys in my case but I’ve also had plenty of friends who are girls that were pretty emotional as well.
The reality is emotions are natural and happen to everyone regardless of what emotion we choose to express ourselves through - 717 opinions shared on Other topic.
I cry every night but my brothers do not so - women are more emotionally driven then men are - ! women cry do to their periods , deaths in the family and so forth ! men do not cry for they have been taught not to cry for they are not women ! women go through more pain in giving birth then men will ever have in their life ! thanks
-
I chose the option c because both the genders are emotional according to me, it's just that women can express themselves but I don't know why people think that Men cannot cry or when they cry, it's absolutely pathetic. They are absolutely strong. No, if Men also feel the need to cry, they should cry, One shouldn't stop their tears from coming out.. Trust me, If I feel emotional, I try not to cry but after crying I feel so better!
-
I've always thought men had deeper emotions. Some women really like to talk about how they feel, and that drives me crazy because I don't and it gives women in general a reputation. Men might not talk about their emotions more, but I think they love very deeply and make a lot of their decisions based on finding and falling in love with a woman, or man.
-
This is complicated. Men are emotionally driven when they want to accomplish something. It ties in with pride and respect. Not to say women can’t be this way some definitely are. But it’s a male thing.
But think of this. Men would rather take real physical pain and not be humiliated vs a women who don’t want to be harmed but are less afraid of losing face by crying publicly.
