Who is more emotionally driven: men or women?

[JustTheTrue]

What do you guys think?

Men

Women

Both

[Anonymous]

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

[fatimakarine]

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.

[KupKakes]

Nicely put!! This deserves MHO

[Mystic_Nova]

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.

[TruthBringer]

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.

[Yads_Is_Back]

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.

[Yads_Is_Back]

And sex, of course 😂

[sensible27]

Bruh no? Elaborate?

[Yads_Is_Back]

@sensible27 Meaning men are driven by sex and emotionally pretty only when it’s ego. Correct me if I’m wrong?

[Yads_Is_Back]

Pretty much*

[sensible27]

Do you think such a person is 'lovable'? If you really think so... wouldn't the same then apply to women? Also, I was referring to more the there's no inbetween part... that seems like a generalisation... in my experience (which is somewhat limited) there is...(an inbetween)...

[Yads_Is_Back]

@sensible27 What’s the in-between?
And no, I don’t. So yeah, it’s generalized, but so is the question.

[sensible27]

You care for some and maybe not so much for others... also, it just might nit be ego motivated?

[Yads_Is_Back]

@sensible27 So what’s the motivation?

[Yads_Is_Back]

You’re making me genuinely curious here

[sensible27]

Because... you know... they care?

[sensible27]

Also, most dislikes on your post are from women... not being satirical/or sarcastic but I wonder why that is...

[Yads_Is_Back]

@sensible27 Because they don’t want to acknowledge it. Not something I’m concerned about lol
Care about what? You’re giving very short answers that don’t help in any way.

[Yads_Is_Back]

Also, some would say that proves my point, considering that the upvotes come from the logical men.

[sensible27]

Care about the partners they were with... Just because you break up doesn't mean you can't (still) care about them.

[Yads_Is_Back]

@sensible27 What does that have to do with my post? I thought you were clarifying the ego part. I'm confused.

[sensible27]

The difference (of logical and emotional) is marginal on the means which results in large differences in extremes (in some ways)... This is maybe why most nobel laureates and billionaires are male but that does mean on a genral basis there is a large amount of difference between either genders... My sis and me are more or less somewhat the same... most of my female friends are all somewhat decently logical.. maybe more so than me. Additionally you claim isn't very substantiated thus a bit hard to believe...

[sensible27]

Even the ego line isn't care... even if I don't care or look back much I still still get the thought so the line still might not be as clear as you might be projecting...

[sensible27]

*clear

[Yads_Is_Back]

@sensible27 Duh. I don't think the guy is talking about careers only. Surely he means overall. Heck, that's a biology thing - like I said, excluding ego and sex drive. Should I provide a source?

[Yads_Is_Back]

It's not a clear line. That's true. But the line is still there

[sensible27]

So... females/women don't care about 'ego' as much as men/males?

[Yads_Is_Back]

@sensible27 They do. Oh yeah, we all know it too lol 😂 Doesn’t change that men are driven by it too and it is an exception to thinking logically.

[sensible27]

Why do you think that? As in females are not logical? I am not trying to attack you but it's a bit unexpected... why you as a female/woman yourself would say woman are not logical... doesn't that go against your own interest?

[Yads_Is_Back]

@sensible27 The truth isn’t always in favor of me. Lol
Everybody is logical to an extent, obviously some more than others. There’s a variety by each individual, regardless of gender. But biologically YES women are more emotionally driven.

[sensible27]

Reminds me of a poem by Charles Bukowski... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0doGM_6izYg

[sensible27]

So... sexism is valid? According to you...

[bakingperfectionist]

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.

[RiJox]

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 🤦🏾‍♀️

[Tiffany_Taylor_Made]

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.

[JimboGB]

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!

Chrisitian Muscilinity is the light in the darkness.

[JimboGB]

MEN RISE YOUR CHILDREN!

[JimboGB]

Downvoting data 😆

[devilish-cutie]

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?

[JimboGB]

Men and women do have different brains, not everything is down to social constructs and even those speak to conditions which create a healthy society.

[devilish-cutie]

@JimboGB thats old narrative that is not actuall proven
i see more difference in personality than gender as my first sentance stated

[InkRat]

@devilish-cutie your point of view is even less proven than @JimboGB

[devilish-cutie]

@InkRat you totally argumentated your opinion making it so valid

[InkRat]

@devilish-cutie I used same argument as you (no argument at all), dont like it reference studies for yours and I will reference studies for mine. Else its pissing contest.

[Cherokeehp]

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.

[chris_987]

Damn you are surrounded by some weak ass men, I literally cannot then of any men that have done those things

[Cherokeehp]

@chris_987 I’ve met plenty who do shit like that.

[chris_987]

it probably why you see men is such a negative way

[Cherokeehp]

@chris_987 I don’t see men in a negative way.

[chris_987]

You definitely don’t see them in a positive way

[Cherokeehp]

@chris_987 I just see them realistically in my opinion.

[chris_987]

Name some positive things you like about men

[Cherokeehp]

@chris_987 Pretty much the same things I like about women. Character traits aren’t really gender exclusive. There are some pleasant women, and there are some unpleasant ones. There are pleasant men, and there are some unpleasant ones.

[chris_987]

So why aren’t you attracted to women then if you like them just as much men

[Cherokeehp]

@chris_987 because I don’t want to put pussy in my mouth. Women are gorgeous, but I’m heterosexual.

[chris_987]

But you want a dick in you’re mouth, but you don’t know why your heterosexual? That’s strange

[Cherokeehp]

@chris_987 I don’t really want a dick in my mouth either. I can’t explain why I’m heterosexual, I simply am. The same way gay people are born gay, I was born straight. I don’t think putting anyone’s genitals in my mouth is a good time, but I do it because I like my guy and it makes him happy.

[chris_987]

So you only do things to make others happy, I guess that one way to live life. I guess you can do things that make you happy when you’re older

[Cherokeehp]

@chris_987 I don’t only do things to make others happy. But when you love someone you should be willing to make compromises. He puts my genitals in his mouth, so it’d be pretty hypocritical of me not to return it. I do what I want. And for now I want to make the guy I love happy. That’s not ALL I want to do. It’s just one of the things I want to do.

[chris_987]

Lol all of this sound like you get no pleasure from sex, he eating the fuk out your pussy and all you can saying is damn now I gotta suck his dick. 😂😂

Do you at least cum afterwards

[Cherokeehp]

@chris_987 I like sex. I just don’t like going down on people. Physically it just doesn’t do anything for me other than make my jaw hurt. Mentally I’m pleased because he’s pleased.

[chris_987]

Usually when a girl said she doesn’t like sucking dick because she not good at it. If your were pro you’d love it. But I guess you both are still young so there’s plenty more to learn

[Cherokeehp]

@chris_987 Lol, I don’t need to prove my oral skills to strange men on the internet. I know what I’m doing. I just don’t get any physical pleasure out of it.

[chris_987]

You’d get physical pleasure from it if you where good at was my point, and I don’t want a random girl who has a man prove she can suck dick to me either. So I don’t know why you would say that. Not all guys want to sleep with you

[Cherokeehp]

@chris_987 Not all, just a lot of them. And I never implied that you were one of them. I’m just trying to say that you’re wrong. My level of pleasure isn’t equivalent to my level of skill.

[chris_987]

So do you think as you grow older you’ll be better at sex (damn that’s actually a good question I’m gonna post it 😂)

[Cherokeehp]

@chris_987 I think I’m already great at it. But I suppose I’ll only get better with experience until I get old and my joints get achy.

[chris_987]

Lol so where always good at sex (you’re the most self confident woman I’ve met, kinda odd that you have insecurities)

[Cherokeehp]

@chris_987 I wasn’t always good at it. In fact I used to be a very shy and insecure girl. I couldn’t even kiss a boy. During my first kiss the guys ended up kissing me directly on the teeth because I was so nervous I stood their smiling hard like an idiot. It took a lot of practice to get to this point here. All people have insecurities. I have plenty. But at the end of the day I know I that most of those insecurities are irrational. Most people like me and I truly believe I could have any guy I want, because so far I’ve had every guy I wanted.

[chris_987]

you couldn’t get me, young girls look nice but we always have nothing in common. So I would be turned off once we started talking. Facts

[Cherokeehp]

@chris_987 I don’t want you, so that’s perfectly fine by me.

[chris_987]

I don’t want you either, but you said you could have any guy. I was just telling you that not true

[Cherokeehp]

@chris_987 I said I could have any guy I WANT. Once again, I do not want you.

[chris_987]

You can’t have me even if you wanted too because you too young, lol shouldn’t you be sleep or do you like arguing with me that much

[Cherokeehp]

@chris_987 I’m 20 years old, I can sleep whenever I choose. And you must be the one who enjoys arguing with me, because you commented on my post.

[chris_987]

Yeah that was a mistake I forgot how passionate girls are about everything probably because there so emotional

[Cherokeehp]

@chris_987 I literally haven’t expressed an ounce of passion this entire time. I wouldn’t even consider this an argument to be honest. I’ve been sitting here straight-faced, unbothered, and bored the entire time.

[KupKakes]

@chris_987 The fact that you got angry about her post literally proves her point did you ever notice that 😂? Being emotional isn’t a bad thing and she’s not trashing men she’s just stating a non offensive opinion and you came for her assuming she was insulting men or something.

A lot of guys are saying women are more emotional in this question and as you can see women aren’t getting offended at all by that. But you seem to be. Why?

[chris_987]

Don’t mind us we argue about everything that why I commented on her post

[Cherokeehp]

@KupKakes thank you. Somebody gets it.

[KupKakes]

No one is arguing except you 😂 you got so worked up about something that doesn’t matter. If you don’t like her opinion you don’t need to harass her. You’re only proving her point lmao

[KupKakes]

@Cherokeehp Lol it’s really annoying when someone gets so offended over something that isn’t even a big deal

[chris_987]

I don’t think she feels harassed, we literally do this all the time, it’s a black thing you probably wouldn’t understand

[KupKakes]

@Cherokeehp Do you feel harassed by this guy?

[Cherokeehp]

@KupKakes I think he just likes trying to argue with me for arguments sake.

[chris_987]

Lol she bout to block me to protect you. Aww that sweet

[Cherokeehp]

@KupKakes I don’t feel harassed. If I wanted to I could just block him or ignore him at any moment. I’m just bored on the internet and conversation kills time. Also its definitely not a black thing.

[KupKakes]

@chris_987 What? 😂 I’m not protecting anybody its just so hilarious how you got so worked up and angry over something that doesn’t matter lmao wtf

[chris_987]

Ok then it a woman thing and wouldn’t blocking me prove my point about who’s more emotional

[Cherokeehp]

@chris_987 no one has blocked you. You’re not making any point whatsoever.

[KupKakes]

@chris_987 Who has blocked you? Lmfao you’re the one who responded to this because you got mad that she has an opinion that doesn’t align with yours. lol

[KupKakes]

He’s making zero points and acts like emotions are a bad thing to be offended about? Where’s the logic there? LMAO

[Cherokeehp]

@KupKakes he’s just continuing to prove how irrational and emotional he is.

[KupKakes]

He is literally proving your point without being aware of it 😂😂😂😂😭

[KupKakes]

You: Men are more emotional
Him: Denies it while being emotional

I’m- 💀

[Cherokeehp]

@KupKakes I’m so glad someone witnessed it.

[chris_987]

Wow you girls are so smart it a good thing you guy showed me how wrong I am

[KupKakes]

You’re welcome I hope this was a learning experience for you boo

[Cherokeehp]

@chris_987 we are smart. Thank you for the compliment.

[chris_987]

Ok well celebrate this achievement cause I’m sure women all across the world need this win

[chris_987]

Anyways My question is why are always bored don’t you got a new dog? You shouldn’t be bored anymore

[Cherokeehp]

@chris_987 She’s sleeping.

[chris_987]

Oh I see, you probably should be sleeping as well. I’m not that entertaining

[Cherokeehp]

@chris_987 You aren’t. But my sleep schedule isn’t based on you.

[chris_987]

You sleep schedule seems kinda messed up if you ask me. But that was the second girl that came defend lol. They don’t realize how ruthless you are, I’ve never won argument against you

[KupKakes]

@chris_987 I wasn’t defending anybody. I was trying to make you aware of how contradictory and ironic your behavior was.

[chris_987]

It kinda creepy that this cupcake girl is still listening to our conversation, I’d expect that from these thirsty dudes but not from girls

[KupKakes]

I get notifications. Have you heard of that before?

[Cherokeehp]

@chris_987 I’m a college student, I work, and I’m raising a puppy. I don’t get much sleep, and even when I have the time I usually can’t fall asleep. And perhaps you should just give up trying to argue with me.

[KupKakes]

And you were talking about me... Why were you expecting me to stay silent about that?

[chris_987]

No I’ve never heard of notifications please explain what they do

[chris_987]

You should teach that dog to help you sleep lol

[Cherokeehp]

@KupKakes lol. He’s ridiculous.

[KupKakes]

@chris_987 Oh no boo I don’t wanna make you feel bad for not knowing something so basic in your 30s. Maybe you should look up what that is. ☺️

[chris_987]

Yeah I’m 30 I still use MSN, so I’m not willing to learn new things

[KupKakes]

Oh well you probably should. Then people would start taking you seriously a little bit 🥺

[chris_987]

Anyways cupcake girl and Native American black girl It been fun but my parents are yelling at me to go to sleep

[KupKakes]

@chris_987 You should obey them then. It is past your bed time, go to sleep.

[navyrobin]

LOLOLOLOL

[Cherokeehp]

@KupKakes I wonder when it’ll finally get through his skull that I’m not Native American. Cherokee is literally my name.

[KupKakes]

I’m laughing so hard not even joking 😂

[KupKakes]

He’s so PATHETIC LMAO

[Cherokeehp]

@navyrobin Ah so you were also witnessing this train wreck.

[navyrobin]

I just read this entire thing and burst out in laughter. Too funny. It resonates with my answer thats why it was so hilarious

[navyrobin]

Literally my answer:

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.

[Cherokeehp]

@KupKakes I don’t think low of men in general, but I do think low of that one in particular.

[KupKakes]

LMFAO

[KupKakes]

@Cherokeehp Same. I love men. But the ones that ridicule themselves like that are so pathetic

[chris_987]

Wow your boy attracts girls without even trying, my New Years resolution was to get more girls to hate me in 2020.

Look at god 🙌🏿

[KupKakes]

@chris_987 You ok boo? I think you need to go to sleep?

[Cherokeehp]

@navyrobin Exactly. Most men don’t register their emotions as emotions. They think being emotional is just being sad and crying. But pride, anger, rage, etc. are all emotions that tons of men exhibit all the time. Instead of saying “he’s emotional” they just think that’s how guys are supposed to be.

[chris_987]

Anyways ladies I must go, don’t you dare fantasize about me, I’m not in to freaky 50 shades of grey shit, where you masturbate to the guys you hate. Especially you native Americans feminist girl 😂

[KupKakes]

@chris_987 Go on. You’re talking gibberish now, I think you really need that sleep. Bye bye. No one needs you here don’t worry.

[Cherokeehp]

@KupKakes that poor man.

[KupKakes]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[errorgoodnameunfound]

Everyday, thousands of men everywhere get enraged because their console system is bullshit and they find out too late. For just a quick sale of that system on Craig's list, you can help these men leave their console peasants and join the master race, with a nicely tweaked PC. Go online now to r/PCMR and help make a difference today.

[errorgoodnameunfound]

console peasant ways*

[navyrobin]

@errorgoodnameunfound I love your name. Also, are you on drugs?

[errorgoodnameunfound]

@navyrobin If life is a drug, then YES. Very much so. :D

[KupKakes]

@navyrobin Yes he’s on actual drugs 😂

[errorgoodnameunfound]

@KupKakes Maybe. Are you jelly? Perhaps you want some? :D

[navyrobin]

@KupKakes Yep he certainly is

[errorgoodnameunfound]

@navyrobin Hey, if you want some fresh drugs, say so now. Almost out :)

[navyrobin]

Nah, you can keep them hun.

[errorgoodnameunfound]

@navyrobin Oh come on! I got all sorts of different flavors! Ya sure? I'll even give y'all both that "2 girls, 1 blunt" discount. :D

[KupKakes]

@navyrobin Now he’s mad for something he said. Men are lovely!

[navyrobin]

@KupKakes Not shocked. Men always get mad at women for something they themselves said. They never like to take responsibility. Always blaming the woman for his actions and his lack of rationality

[errorgoodnameunfound]

@navyrobin Hey, not my fault sarcasm is too difficult for y'all. But at this point, y'all all are predictable. I know there's gonna be either continuing squabble of the same deflection, condescending tone, building each other up to bring targets down, etc. or running away. I already gave chances to indicate intelligence and prove girls are better than many guys think, at least on this platform. Completely failed. Congrats to all. :)

[errorgoodnameunfound]

@kupkakess I have a smiley emoji in 2/3 of every conversation I had here. I guess smiling means mad in your world? ... ironically Im guessing your world has a strict anti druggie policy? :D xD

[navyrobin]

@errorgoodnameunfound You seem a little bothered. You should take a deep breath and leave this conversation. You’re clearly acting in the way we predicted: emotional, insecure, irrational behavior. We knew at least a couple of men would behave like this and voila! It happened!

You are so predictable it’s funny.

[HereForTheTrolls18]

Is being offended the only reason to want to have a conversation with someone about a subject we don't agree on?
I mean it can also be the reason as some guys here show...

[latinabutterfly96]

@HereForTheTrolls18 Apparently that’s the case. It’s okay if men are more emotional or equally emotional to women. nobody said emotions are bad except for men. Human beings have them. Nothing wrong with that. What I find amusing is how they deny it while at the same time being emotional, the very thing they are trying to avoid. It’s kinda hilarious, not going to lie lol

[HereForTheTrolls18]

@latinabutterfly96 I have seen here both guys and girls acting in an emotional way here. Hell I have done it.
But that is the point I guess. Like you say we are all humans.

[Zeus_66]

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.

[guywithissues900]

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

[kidsarentalright24]

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

[kidsarentalright24]

We all have emotions corrections

[kidsarentalright24]

[burlen]

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?

[navyrobin]

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.

[navyrobin]

Not even gonna lie but I just witnessed exactly this situation in this thread. LOLOLOL

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

So your logic is that men are more emotional because they don't agree with you when you say that, in your opinion, they are?

[navyrobin]

"So your logic is that men are more emotional because they don't agree with you when you say that, in your opinion, they are?"

No. That is not what I said.

[navyrobin]

Like... At all.

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

"Men are definitely more emotional, because they do not accept that they're equally emotional to women."
Care to explain this part then?

[navyrobin]

@thisismyopinion Sure, I will explain it for you if you don’t understand it :)
Men and women are equally emotional, but men often get defensive by this statement, because they get emotional when they get confronted by the truth. I don’t know why it happens.

Ladies and gentlemen I hereby present to you the type of man I am talking about in my original response. @thisismyopinion You described exactly what I predicted of a man's behavior. Thank you :)

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

You touched on the main point. "when they get confronted by the truth" what prove do you have that this is the truth?

Also you know that people can talk about a subject and discuss it for other reasons then because they need to be defensive about it right?

[navyrobin]

The difference between a discussion and a defensive response, my friend, is that a discussion doesn’t include uppity comments like “So, by your logic, [insert strawman fallacy here].”

I hope you understand what I’m saying now. :)

[errorgoodnameunfound]

@ThisIsMyOpinion Aren't women just delightful? :D

[navyrobin]

I know we are ❤️

[navyrobin]

Hope you learn a bit from this as well, @errorgoodnameunfound ☺️

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

It was just me trying to understand your point. Had no intention of giving the wrong idea. ^_^

If you feel uncomfortable I won't bother you anymore.

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

@errorgoodnameunfound I do think they are. It seems you also think I am at war with her. I am really not.

[errorgoodnameunfound]

Wha? Oh sorry, I was too busy using those drugs you accused me of being on. Could you call back later? :D

[errorgoodnameunfound]

@ThisIsMyOpinion Not exactly "war" but more like she's right because she says so and you're wrong also cause she says. Also, we're both too emotional because we're men obviously. I'll go get some tissues for us, right after I'm done with those drugs I mentioned that she implied I was because obviously, usernames are proof of drug use.

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

@errorgoodnameunfound I really don't know why you came to this conversation.

[errorgoodnameunfound]

@ThisIsMyOpinion Dude, I can go interject to whatever comment here that I please. It's called the internet. Also, she made excellent trolling. What can I say? I love oppurtunity! (especially with her amount of emotion) :D

[errorgoodnameunfound]

made for*

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

@errorgoodnameunfound So you are here because she made a comment you didn't liked?

[Not_Average]

I mean, studies in neurology and endocrinology clearly showcase that women are more emotionally driven than men. It’s not so much a matter of opinion rather than a known fact these in these two medical fields. Women are factually more driven by emotion. This also explains why women possess higher emotional intelligence, thus lower rates of suicide and depression. Women know how to practice healthy emotional habits and work with negative emotions in a more effective way. Women are more equipped to do so. Men are not so equipped since their lens of the world is driven by more logical reasoning. This is why men dominant the STEM sector.

When you see men getting bursting out- it’s typically the result of being ill equipped to navigate through emotional issues.

This is also the reason why women make better nurturers than men. Ever notice how a woman can calm a child or a baby down a lot better than a man? How they are the dominant sex when it comes to occupations like nursing, and teaching?

[Not_Average]

Whenever I would cry as a child, my mom comforted me and made me feel safe and secure. My dad has no idea what to do. This is a pretty common story.

I feel as if women think negatively when others say they’re more emotional. The fact is, that women are emotionally driven, but that can be a great thing. Possessing a high level of emotional intelligence not only makes you more sociable- but it also gives you a tremendous advantage on your mental health and ability to connect with others.

[Not_Average]

I also feel like people have this misconception of an “emotional”
woman as irrational cry-babies on their period. That’s not what I’m trying to portray at all. I’m simply letting you know that women process life through more of an emotional lens or filter. You’re able to process them more effectively, and part of effectively handling emotions is talking about them- and sometimes even crying.

I’m hoping this challenges your perspective in a non-threatening or hostile way. And I also hope that you don’t see this as a defensive response.

[navyrobin]

@Not_Average Sigh. Just say you don’t agree. You don’t have to give your cherry picked studies (conveniently chosen of course) to give your biased, subjective opinion.

It’s easily seen in everyday life that men tend to be not only more emotional but also explosive and impulsive. And many studies can back me up here as well.

[errorgoodnameunfound]

@ThisIsMyOpinion Nope. I have no problem with free speech, but being the one trying to control where I comment/reply, do you? :)

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

This has become a clusterfuck.

[errorgoodnameunfound]

@ThisIsMyOpinion Look I know. I'm tried to help ya out dude, but you seem so scared to criticize women even when they treat you like shit.

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

@errorgoodnameunfound when did @navyrobin treated me like shit?

[errorgoodnameunfound]

@ThisIsMyOpinion Maybe not like complete shit, but she definitely doesn't respect either me or you even though we both never said anything that bad. I think that's pretty obvious.

[bakingperfectionist]

The fact that these men have fallen right into the trap you set and dont even know it is killing me xD thanks for the laughs

[errorgoodnameunfound]

@bakingperfectionist Oh I saw the trap alright. I never once said that any of the girls were wrong. Just arrogant. I can see future Karens when they appear and damn, is it entertaining. :)

[bakingperfectionist]

@errorgoodnameunfound You actually come off a lot more arrogant than any woman on this thread. just FYI.

[errorgoodnameunfound]

@bakingperfectionist Well, considering, these girls conclude Im on drugs somehow just by what they see from me after a few minutes? Who's arrogant here? :)

[bakingperfectionist]

@errorgoodnameunfound literally all of you are acting really weird. Everyone is emotional, get over it.

[errorgoodnameunfound]

@bakingperfectionist Also, you do realize all this LOLing we are doing is emotion right? I mean, I can express emotion. Anyone can. I'm fine with that. Aren't you? :D

[bakingperfectionist]

@errorgoodnameunfound That is... what I just said. Everyone is emotional... that means women too. You are beating a dead horse right now. I understand you may be bored, but stop just coming for everyone, it's a bit strange.

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

@errorgoodnameunfound let's ask her.
Hey @navyrobin do you have anything against me or @errorgoodnameunfound?

[latinabutterfly96]

@navyrobin Your point has been proven. 😂

[latinabutterfly96]

nobody:
men: Women are emotional
also men: Start world war 3 and begin arguments with random internet strangers

Wow men aRe SOooooo LoGiCaL!

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

@latinabutterfly96 I literally just came here for an exchange of ideas. Some other two guys came here and turned this into what you see.

[WowwGirl]

He's a good guy who has defended me multiple times when guys ganged up on me here. I don't like girls doing either so talk to me. He's a good person me that's debatable

[WowwGirl]

Talk to me

[WowwGirl]

@JustTheTrue only dramatic bitches block. You can't handle a conversation or just interaction with a man period?
What happened to you? What happened to being a man. Single mother raised you i see

[WowwGirl]

@ThisIsMyOpinion they are about to see how dramatic women are.

[errorgoodnameunfound]

@ThisIsMyOpinion I also came around not trying to cause too much trouble. Im proud I got blocked. Says a lot. :)

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

@errorgoodnameunfound usually it does.

[WowwGirl]

@ThisIsMyOpinion no females need to be attacking men

[errorgoodnameunfound]

@bakingperfectionist ya still didn't address the drug part. I mean, I personally don't judge people, even a crack addict, because ik life can be shit so why judge? But the point is this about who has more emotion. In my experience, people that ask if Im on drugs after one conversation usually are the ones who are super emotional and narcissistic, but their relationships are of course in shambles, to no surprise. As I told another gal how she proved me right, responding either rudely, defensively, ignorant of what I've said, etc, you have engaged with the "cherry picking and deflection route." I do think you are reasonable from your last reply, and Im sure other people are here too, but there was for sure lots of overlooked information and misjudgments, as well as a LOT of hypocrisy that I hope does not continue...

[bakingperfectionist]

@errorgoodnameunfound A random person on the internet, who doesn't know you, called you a name. Are you seriously going to cry about it? My point remains, they were overdoing it, your reaction is overdoing it. My conclusion is that everyone needs to chill out. Everyone has emotions. Everyone gets butt hurt. It's not that deep. You also got so upset over one comment you're judging their relationships? You are literally all making baseless assumptions about each other and then crying about it xD If you don't want to hypocrisy to continue, start from yourself. I didn't do any cherry picking or deflecting, I didn't even read the whole thread, who has the time? All I know is, she made a point and a whole bunch of guys got super defensive about it. Was funny to see.

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

@bakingperfectionist you acting even more butt hurt than him now...
I guess it's true everyone can get emotional.

[sensible27]

So... anyone who doesn't agree with me is... wrong by default argument?

[bakingperfectionist]

@ThisIsMyOpinion Jesus Christ you're all so defensive on here xD its ridiculous. Have fun all arguing who is more butthurt than the other. Just so you know, from the outside you all look like little bitches xD

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

@bakingperfectionist just proved my point.

[bakingperfectionist]

@ThisIsMyOpinion Whatever makes you feel like a big boy at night xD

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

@bakingperfectionist If you where not upset you would have stopped coming here to comment a long time ago.

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

@bakingperfectionist no idea why you are reacting that way but... Oh well.

[WowwGirl]

@ThisIsMyOpinion because women are emotional

[navyrobin]

@bakingperfectionist Not gonna lie this is so funny to watch. Is it really that easy to provoke men’s emotions and get them to do whatever we want? 😂

[navyrobin]

@WowwGirl Girl wtf? Why do you want to defend men so bad? Men and women are both emotional but in their own ways.

[errorgoodnameunfound]

Oh irony. Thats that girl that acted with the same condescending tone you did towards anyone who remotely seemed to argue. Have fun fighting "strong women" :)

[navyrobin]

@errorgoodnameunfound Condescending tone? You were the one who started off by adding a sarcastic comment to this post. I take it you love projecting your own mental flaws onto others?

[errorgoodnameunfound]

"Nice name. Also are you on drugs?" How would you have responded? :)

[errorgoodnameunfound]

@sensible27 Thats the logic of many people of GAG. I try to stick to fooling around when I can for a reason. But even then, people have to try to get a rise. as seen here with the entire cast of Mean Girls present. :D

[errorgoodnameunfound]

@bakingperfectionist I'd like to know what your response wold have been mam. I already tried to point out I agree with much of what you said but ofc, it was instead used as a means to try and bring me down, as obvious within the text. I tried many times to end it. It didn't work. So I said, "OK, GREAT :D" and continued to fool around. I find it entertaining for people to sink low in order to feed egos while I did my best to remain respectful and light heated, though I guess it appears I fell short as many often do. I wish we could end it here agreeing to disagree peacefully, but egos in the "Mean Girl" crew I think have risen a bit too much. (see, trying to end in a non offensive joke. Am I that bad? :D )

[errorgoodnameunfound]

@ThisIsMyOpinion No offence, but told ya so long ago. They near proved you wrong. Stop trying to kiss up and play nice dude. Regina George got hit by a bus without sympathy for a reason. :)

[latinabutterfly96]

@errorgoodnameunfound The fact that you keep spamming this post because you’re so angry at this girl’s opinion is only proving her point yet you don’t realize that. Interesting.

[latinabutterfly96]

@errorgoodnameunfound The other guy commenting here started off by a strawman fallacy, later beginning to assume his fallacies were making OP “uncomfortable.” And then you came along to whine some more.

Wow men are so logical. LOL

[WowwGirl]

@ThisIsMyOpinion that's a friend she's cool @latinabutterfly96

[WowwGirl]

You're right

[PinkMichae]

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.

[Adam1978]

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.

[laPrincesitaRoxi]

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

[MissDawn7961]

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

[MissDawn7961]

who ever down voted me here must be a homo

[nandinikhaneja]

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!

[Anonymous]

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.

[InkRat]

It might be true

[bluetoblack99]

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.

[lilsezza101]

Depends on the person regardless of gender. However in saying that i've noticed that some men i've come across in recent years are more sensitive to critism because of male pride and ego.

Women are becoming more ruthless and less tolorent of bullshit so men get called out more and then get upset by it

[0679954066]

The truth is, though men can be a freak in relationships. Women fell in love easily true love I mean, while most men just fake the love for self pleasure.
But the real truth is, whenever a man falls deeply and truly in love with a woman, it gonna drive him crazy to the core of his heart. It might be rare and hard for a man to fall deep in love, but once he's caught under the spell of love. Boom he's gonna go crazy

[SaraSmithishere]

I mean, I've seen a lot of men go off and start yelling during football season and while playing video games. I also went to a liberal art college, so it wasn't weird seeing men cry and writing poetry.

[scooogy]

You saw them cry because they had to write poetry :P 😂

[Shuri]

Men. I think people assume it's women because we are more inclined to show our emotions compared to a man as that's just how society has groomed us. But men by far have more reactions to things than women do that I've witnessed.

[latinabutterfly96]

Have to agree. Take a look at some of the women’s opinions here and look at how men get so overemotional over a few words. It’s amusing to say the least.

[bluetoblack99]

Men internalize the emotions more and then get increases intensity. We are supposed to take action and not just “talk” about things.

[Shuri]

@bluetoblack99 Action is the result of an emotion, though. Women don't usually do that nearly as much as men.

[bluetoblack99]

I agree. Men also die earlier from the stress of this if they don’t know of a healthy action to take. Personally I just exercise, go for long drives or do martial arts when I’m upset. But other guys make less healthy and self destructive choices.

Bottom line is men don’t show their emotions for freudian reasons. We lose respect when show any emotion besides anger. When we lose respect we look less attractive to women. I 100 percent believe the WOMEN have less respect for emotional men than other men do. I know because I’m an emotional guy and it’s made my dating life hell on earth if don’t keep a poker face.

[DiscomfortZone]

Many men would like to display and process their emotions. Gender conditioning forbids it, only allows it for women. That's why men become angry egomaniacs and women become nagging attention whores. But please, by all means, listen to feminazis bitch about how terrible their lives are!

[Scarecrow13]

I think it depends. Women are more empathetic I think, but also seem to be able to think logically with less bias than men do, while men seem to like to debate things more often, I think women can actually think about things longer. Men only appear less emotionally driven because we are told to hold it in, which results in violent outbursts which is why I think it's men that commit a majority of violent crimes.

[DonCachondo]

I think men's emotions are more consistent and fluctuate less throughout the day or even over multiple day streaks, which merely creates the illusion that they're less emotional. Because of that consistency, being "emotional" can actually give a man quite the edge in life. Having emotions fundamentally means having something to care about. On the other hand, low emotion trends toward depression.

[DonCachondo]

Oh and to be clear I when I say "consistent and fluctuate less" I don't mean at all to imply that men are generally more emotionally stable than women. I mean it more like if you see a random guy who seems intense, it would be a safe bet that he's intense most of the time because he's probably just an intense guy. Contrast that with a random woman, whom you could easily just be catching her on one of her bad days or as they might sometimes say "that time of the month!"

[victoriaxoxo]

Both but the way men choose to release their emotions is different from women. Women seem to cry when they are frustrated where as men usually fight/shout. (Of course a lot of women and men don’t fit into these stereotypical behaviours either).

[YHL6965]

I think both. I think we just handle feelings differently and that some feelings are more prevalent in a gender than in another. Ultimately, it's your heart, your feelings that will tell you where you want to go in life. You might use logic, rationality to determine how to get there but what truly drives you is your feelings in my opinion.

[Desconhecida]

Emotionally, women. Men thrive when they have a purpose, they are rational. Women shine when they are pissed off and planning the revenge LOL

[venus8459]

I don’t like your “pick me” attitude.

[Desconhecida]

Your dislike made me cry. I care so much about your thoughts!!!
C'mon, leave me alone troll.

~~ FAKE PROFILE DETECTED! ~~

[latinabutterfly96]

@Desconhecida Are you ok 😂?

[Desconhecida]

LOL
I stopped crying at least...😂💋

[Unit1]

I'd pick you still :P :) :) You have more class than your haters. That's a good thing!

[Desconhecida]

@Unit1
I have haters? ...🥺 silly me, thinking that was just a normal gag user behavior on PMS.

*alert mode ON* 💣💥

[Unit1]

Hahaha 😆 you are one tough woman 👩💪 i really like that. They better not romp with you 😀 or else they'll come out humiliated.

[Desconhecida]

@Unit1
You are too kind... thanks 💋

I wish you were right, though! I like this vision of me, a tough girl, lara Croft style and all!💪🤜🤛

[Unit1]

I am sure you can do it to a good enough degree :) 🤗🤗🤗🥰

[Desconhecida]

Hahah you are a sweetie!

[Unit1]

Thanks kind lady! You too are so sweet 🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗🤗 Hugs!

[Rory_Pants]

I put my emotions in little boxes and attempt to forget they existed through distractions. Until the box bursts one day while under pressure from the same shit.. Just another reason men need an outlet to speak about their woes and fears..

[KupKakes]

I don’t think it’s about the gender it’s more about the person themselves

[errorgoodnameunfound]

@Not_Average She's not the friendliest either. She considers me a druggie/crackhead just because I intervened and tried to make everything more light hearted. I guess Instagram rejects have to get their attention somewhere. I suppose us, the "emotional" gender will both soon be blocked by several "much less emotional" and "non druggie" girls. I will say that what you had said earlier seemed quite logical and well thought out. I've also had eye rolling, Karen like responses when I've written intelligent stuff of the like. So I don't really bother as much anymore and just screw around instead until the site owners will likely have to shut down as with most dead, toxic forum sites like this.

[KupKakes]

@errorgoodnameunfound You’re the one who told me you were on drugs? And now you’re upset about it what? Lol

[errorgoodnameunfound]

You and like 3 other girls all were telling each other I was on drugs for no reason other than to be smug. So I just went along with it as a joke because, given the conversation, I knew for a fact any sign of taking offence would be twisted into evidence that guys are emotional, not that there's anything wrong with male emotion, except that you and all the other girls subtly indicated there is.

Additionally, I can already predict the response, based on patterns. Most likely, it'll be one of either denial, condescending attitude, smugness, or something among these lines. It's GAG, so this is quite inevitable. Hell, maybe I'll get no response or even more so, ignored and/or blocked.

PLEASE prove me wrong. Would love to be wrong as then this would likely end far better. :)

[KupKakes]

You yourself admitted you were on drugs and even invited us to take some. Why are you mad boo?

[errorgoodnameunfound]

"Additionally, I can already predict the response, based on patterns. Most likely, it'll be one of either denial, condescending attitude, smugness, or something among these lines."

You proved me right. Congrats. 😀

[KupKakes]

And that totally doesn’t reflect you, because you’re so humble. Right?

You’re funny.

[errorgoodnameunfound]

Keep proving me right. :D Wheres did your mean girl crew go? Too busy acting better than other people elsewhere? Could ya at least do me a favor and tell whoever the Regina George is in the group that I actually love the word "fetch"? :D

[KupKakes]

@errorgoodnameunfound You really want to continue embarrassing yourself the way you are? Your call.

[Levin]

Judging by the threat to kill me on the weekend from a guy, I'm inclined to choose men.

[stickytoes]

In general women are more emotionally driven but that doesn’t mean every woman individually is very emotional or that every guy isn’t.

[Liam_Hayden]

A higher % of women than men outwardly express emotion, but studies conflict on the actual question with more saying women than men.

[Sarahloves19]

Definitely woman. Men lie and cheat more, so they're not emotional enough to only love one person. Men are logical and adventurous that's why they have trouble in committing.

[Pulseofsulfur]

I've never had a relationship with anyone ever and you assume that all men cheat and lie. That just ruins the chances of actual decent men to walk away from you. There's some men who're more emotional than than logical

[Sarahloves19]

@Pulseofsulfur i love emotional men.

[nelly83]

Both genders have deep emotions. It’s just that women are only guided by emotions which may lead to problems. But this is not to say that there aren’t men who are sensitive and emotional. Sometimes men can even be more emotional than women

[Torari]

Women, as neurobiology dictates.

Women's brains are wired to be more emotionally driven than men's.

[elisa_0]

Where does neurobiology dictate that? Scientists actually haven’t concluded on that lol

[Torari]

Yes they have. There are dozens of studies proving it

[elisa_0]

Scientists as a whole haven’t come to an agreement. There are also dozens of studies proving that women are not more emotional, not even close.

[Torari]

No, there are not. Not any peer reviewed ones at any rate.

Why are you so offended by women being more emotional than men that you have to lie about it? What is wrong with being emotional?

[elisa_0]

Actually, yes there are.

I’m not offended. I’m not sure what gave you the vibe that I was. I just wanted to let you know, that’s all haha

[HalfACharlie123]

It depends on the person more than the gender, i know some women who act on emotional impulse, and i know an equal amount of men who do that. In fact, all people do it to some extent

[aWes0MeNeSs]

For the most part, women, though it is highly dependent on the individual.

[elisa_0]

Both are equally emotional they just show it in different ways. Emotional isn’t just being sad and cry lol

[scooogy]

Yeah, women get emotional and cry, men get kicked in the balls and cry 🤣

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

Taken as a net sum of the average of all women vs. the average of all men, then women are more emotionally driven. But depending on personality types it can vary dramatically between individuals

[Dchrls78104]

I'm leaning towards Both. Consider the blood vessels of the body. A cut artery spurts out blood; a cut vein lets blood flow out like a river. Similarly, men may explode in highly charged situations while women might melt into tears.

[Ámayas_20]

Both, men and women may be driven by different emotions but both are equally driven by them.

[Mysterygirl11137]

Women any day I think it’s us only. Only few guys r the ones who r emotional driven.

[Sarahr123]

It’s subjective. Everyone is different it isn’t dependent on gender.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

I voted women but I think its both. We are just driven by different emotions (overall). women may be more driven by compassion and men more driven by different emotions

[kidnextdoor]

I think the biggest emotion a man has his ego. Touch it, see him break limits. Be it any context.

[destrosio]

Both, but man are not allowed to show many emotions. No it is not and effect of patriarchy or other conspiration theories.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

It depends on what drives them, excites them and/or affects them.

[Anonymous]

Both. Just in different ways. Women are more emotionally driven towards relationships generally. Men are more emotionally driven in work generally.

[Pain_no_more01]

When I get mad/angry I turn that into determination to drive me to my goal. Also I have a tbi which includes a short temper. I would love to not get angry but I can't remember to not get angry, I just want peace and quiet.

[Jeyvaughn]

Men are logical. Women are emotional. And never betwixt shall they meet.

[fatimakarine]

logical?
LMFAO

[talulahbee]

The same just society encourages men to shut down emotions. We all feel the same things though.

[bluetoblack99]

Men shut down their emotions because if they show them they lose respect.

I wouldn't say either. Your gender/sex doesn't determine things like that.

Both. Many women seem to allow themselves to go further without applying any breaks, but both sides feel and are driven by feelings.
