  • My girlfriend certainly does not. I am not a crier, but when those moments come, she will - even when she can only sense that something is upsetting me - come up to me and hold me. She will tell me she loves me and kiss me and hold my hand. Suffice to say, if she despises emotional men, she has a funny way of showing it.

    Beyond that, in general, it has not been my experience that women "despise" emotional men. It may vary woman to woman, but overall my experience has been that women are naturally sympathetic and protective. Their instinct, when they see someone in pain - male or female - is to comfort and show kindness.

    Not all women, to be sure, but as a general rule. I also think that a little it depends on the man. It can get annoying when you have a man who seems to go to pieces at the drop of the hat. However, most men - me included - are not that way. We tend to hold it in and a woman's instinct, again certainly my girlfriend, is to sense that and to comfort.

    Again, that is a general rule - there probably are exceptions - and it has been my experience. The only other thing to back that up being that men and women have found a way to match up for several hundred thousand years, so there must be some level of empathy there.

  • I'm skeptical about such claims because they show genuine confusion between facts and beliefs, at best it's incompetent and unproductive, at worst it leads to extremist ideologies and mass shootings. What I am more certain about is this: people who aren't in touch with their emotions are those who often freak out at others during distress... if you are not aware of something in your psyche how do you control it 😂😂😂 That's a turn off for both men and women.

  • Mhhh I suppose it depends on every individual. I personally prefer a man who cries watching a very moving movie over one who shouts a lot while watching a football match. However if he cries all the time for small things, he's not in touch with his emotions, he needs therapy.

  • I don't despise people of any kind, I only avoid people who I don't want to interact with. Overly emotional PEOPLE not just men fit into that category.

  • Everyone has emotions. Being overly emotional or repressing all your emotions are both unhealthy extremes regardless of gender.

  • Yeah

  • No, whoever said that quote is low IQ

  • I don't know. A lot of women claim they like sensitive, vulnerable, emotionally expressive men whenever they're called out about the matter, but I don't see any evidence of it.

  • Men are supposed to be solid, but if he doesn't show emotion at the death of his mom... or his dog, he's a sociopath. But weeping at chick flicks... Not good.

    • We don't suppress emotions. We manage them. The perfect grief counseling for me:

  • Depends on the woman, some do, some don't.

    Women are not some sort of hive mind just as men are not, they are not Tyranids.

  • If I wanted to be with a hormonal wreck I'd be a lesbian. Women are emotional Men are sapposed to be rational.
    I don't despise them but don't agree with the behavior of crying around the town

  • I despise drama queens who say they're emotional.

  • I think they want a strong man of the character men that can help solve problems and take care of business

  • Yes. Don't listen to women when they say they don't. If you like a little cry baby or are always complaining like a little sissy she will be turn the hell turn off and come to a point of seriously disliking you.

    • *act

  • I'm really emotional, so I couldn't handle dealing with two unstable people.

  • Yeah

  • They do

  • No. Women love men who don‘t hold their emotions in.

  • They do

  • It depends. When dating and prior to being in a long term relationship they despise emotional men, and they value men who stay silent and hold it in. Once in a long term relationship however they then label that same man as emotionally defective, even though she directly encouraged him and men like him to not have emotions.

    If women stopped rewarding men who never showed emotion it would solve everything.
