The guys have given you good answers here. I'm going to add another layer...
Guys and girls do many things differently; the way we express our feelings is no exception. It's really important for us to recognize that the opposite gender is not "doing it wrong" because they don't do it the same as we do. (I know you haven't said that in your question.)
When we expect it to be the same, it causes more problems than just about anything else we do, especially because of the meaning we attach to WHY we think it's different. Eg he doesn't show his emotions so he must not care, or she shows her emotions so she must be overreacting. Not so.
If you compare apples with oranges, you'll most often be disappointed when your expectations aren't met.

Simply put the way guys handle their emotions is a lot more simplaer than the way you women do, we tend to compartmentalise a lot and only focus on onerange of emotions at a time then move on to the next, were as form what iv learn you ladies ten to deal with numerous and conflicting emtotions a lot of time time.
Where us guys "hide" our feelings could also be down to the whole "matcho" steriotype, e. g. we are ment to be the big, strong, and tough ones, and through school those that shoe their feelings often tend to get picked on or bullied, that tends to have an effect and those that learn quick learn to not outwardly show their feelings or emotion to compartmentalise then and deal with them later on.
