Are you comfortable with a partner who is highly emotional, or do you prefer someone more emotionally reserved?

Highly emotional

Emotionally reserved

[fartingspinster]

I'm emotionally reserved but probably only express my happiness outwardly.
It takes a lot for me to express my other emotions, but come out more when im comfortable with someone. Even free expressions if happiness requires comfort in my surroundings. I've been shot down by my surroundings for having a "loud laugh" or "you are happy all the time" remarks. And bullying behavior ensued...

My mother was highly emotional to the point where only her feelings mattered at any given point. So id rather a reserved emotional partner who still expresses them but doesn't have to be extremely expressed. Small little hints here and there i can work with even - so long as he opens up with time as he becomes more comfortable with me. And I can understand him.

I dont define emotionally reserved as cold, because I have a lot of emotions that run deep, so I know it can mean they can feel lots of emotions also.

I am used to being emotionally reserved I don't like people seeing me cry because I am used to my mother when we accompany her to the airport because she works abroad I stop myself from crying

As for me it’s a balance. I don’t want someone to be emotionless I also don’t want someone who feels the need to hide emotions from me. Though, I can understand not sharing everything with everyone it’s great when you have that level of trust.

But everyone is different and compatibility is a major key. Some people who are both good people will stay together despite it being toxic even though they have very different emotional needs. One maybe needs more support while the other needs more space. As well as how two people express emotions.

Hmm, tough one. They both have their merits.

I'm reserved myself so a highly emotional person evens me out a bit. Always gotta pay attention or I'll miss something.

But when I'm with someone who's also reserved, the non-verbal stuff is far, far more intimate.

Hard one as both are extremes of the ideal. I'm pretty emotional tho and guy I like is very emotionally reserved and I think it works quite well. So I think opposites balance each other out in this case.

Given that I date women … it’s unavoidable 😜


Joking aside , being an emotionally perceptive man I tend to navigate highly emotional women quite well, my lady is testament to that.


Being truly honest though , I would like to find that control and then it down a few degrees but like anything there would be a trade off. High emotions can work in my favor 😜😊🥰

People who are highly emotional get my Spidy 🕷️ senses up!

[Staximus]

How about somewhere about halfway between. I don't want a woman who's an emotional mess or an ice queen

[ProbablyClueless]

Expressive, for sure!

i wouldn't cry for him, he's not crying for me.
