Are women really “more emotional” than men?

Question

This is one of the social thoughts but I do not believe in that... I think it really depends on the person. But, in general, who do you think is emotionally stronger, male or female?

Girls’ tend to express it more than guys tend to do. Most of is men have emotional feelings as well, we just don’t express it like girls’ do , we tend to hold it in as much as possible , so we don’t come off as wimps , or cowards , we were raised to be leaders , and raised to find a girl that looks up to us and loves us. Most females are attracted to a guy’s confidence , and his masculine energy , she mainly wants a man , she can look up to , that she feels safe and protected by , if she doesn’t feel safe and protected by him and looks at him like he is a wimp , she more than likely will leave him or cheat on him with another guy, that she feels is more masculine and confident and put together , than her man at home , making her a selfish person. Based off of my own personal experiences and what I have witnessed from most couples , this is something that I have noticed a lot of , when it comes to cheating girls and guys’ I have Ialso been the other guy as well , so I been on both sides of the spectrum a handful of times, it pretty much stems down to this reason. What most females don’t grasp or understand about a guy , is that he does have emotional feelings and most females just assume he doesn’t , Most females that belittle or criticize and put down her man to her friends or to whoever, are digging their own grave , she doesn’t realize her words are destroying him inside. A masculine guy doesn’t want a girl that makes him feel like he is worthless , if he feels not wanted by her, he more than likely will cheat on her or leave her for someone else or just leave period. Most guys’ will not cheat on a girl that makes him feel valued and wanted and appreciated , that doesn’t criticize him or belittle him , that doesn’t talk down on him and that doesn’t withhold intimacy and affection from him and makes him feel like he has to earn it from her. When a guy feels this way , with his so called loving partner. He will more than likely cheat on her or be open to another girl that doesn’t want to treat him like shit. Most of us guys’ express our feelings to a girl through intimacy and affection , that’s our way of showing her we love
and care about her. Sadly most females don’t grasp this concept , and then they wonder why their relationship failed. And she sadly will continue having failed relationships until she finally realizes that she was wrong. Most girls have a hard time admitting to themselves that she was wrong , she will point fingers before pointing fingers at herself first. So if you want your relationship to survive , and for love to grow , you are best to make your partner your top priority , the same way he will more than likely will make you his , it won’t always be perfect , but when you choose your partner over everyone else , it makes it easier for your partner to choose you over everyone else , Stop making things all about yourself , Selfishness is one of the biggest relationship killers , we all have selfishness in us , when you learn to remove selfishness for your partner , you will more than likely experience true love. Another thing females need to stop doing is comparing her man to other men , when she compares him to other guys’ she is digging her own grave , and this goes for guys as well, Stop comparing your partner to other people , those other people should mean shit to you , if you want to be your partners top priority , you better make them yours or your relationship is more than likely going to fail, Fuck your friends , fuck your co workers and fuck your family , your partner needs to be on top of all those people , the only person that should be your very top priority is God if you are religious , so if you can’t do that, then do not get into a relationship period. You have to remember you are No longer single , you are best to wear your partners shoes before making decisions the same way your partner should be doing for you. If you can’t resist temptations
Don’t expect your partner to resist them for you , Having someone’s heart is better than not having someone’s heart. No one said relationships are easy but they also don’t have to be hard

I wouldn't say women are more emotional. I would say some women just have a tenuous grasp on thier emotions. Men regardless of thier inclinations are taught from a young age to suppress thier emotions lest they show weakness. This is only bolstered when they reach puberty and discover women as they learn very quickly women will take advantage of any chink in the man's armor.

Women on the other hand are taught to share and express thier emotions. Something that is bolstered as they get older and hit puberty as now they have a monthly friend that a lot will try to use to excuse a lot of what they say or do.

So "NO". Women are not more emotional than men. It's just considered more socially acceptable for women to show emotions. And since women are not taught to control thier emotions. Some women consider it acceptable to let thier emotions control them and blame every external source rather than take responsibility for her inability to control her emotions. This when you look at the total number of women just gives the IMPRESSION that women are more emotional.

"There's a widely held belief saying women are more emotional than men. There's no truth to it, according to a new study."

"According to the researchers, this shows that men and women actually have "similar levels of affective variability," or as U-M put it, they "ride the same emotional rollercoaster.""

https://lsa.umich.edu/psych/news-events/all-news/faculty-news/are-women-more-emotional-than-men--not-really--study-finds.html

The science actually shows that men are more sensitive from birth than women. They are raised to act less sensitive, told to cover up their emotions, and told they are less sensitive, but they are not. They are neglected more. Circumcision causes long term damage to the emotional centers of their brains.

Men are constantly told to "toughen up" and "don't act like a girl" until they become withdrawn. If you ask grown men what they are feeling, they often have strong feelings, but they struggle to explain what they are since so few people ask them to talk about them.

Boys who are raised as lovingly as girls and able to communicate their feelings openly grow up to be men who are as sensitive as women if not more.

Scientists have shown that women communicate and exhibit their emotions more often, but that's due to societal acceptance of that behavior from them. When emotions from men and women are measured in any other way, no one gender is more emotional. Women who were abused and unable to safely show their emotions as children tend to shut down and react more like men emotionally.

I think that's why I get along with men so well. I always nurture the sensitive bits that get so neglected and stomped on by most of the world. Most men are very sensitive teddy bears.

Only during PMS. Otherwise we all have same emotional capacity, and the way we express it is completely individual and depends on the situation and the person. It's just still "more acceptable" for women to express them, then men.

Well, as a male I am more emotional

Anonymous · Answer

To any female who says men are more emotional it’s because we have to put up with their crap. If females can’t stand other female friends that just goes to show her toxicity. Women can’t even deal with their own emotions. Women get attention and pursued so they often get validation. Throughout my life — teachers, professors and females who have held managerial positions of powder have often been the up tight ones that can’t teach or manage. Women can’t lead and that’s why women and girls who say, “I want a guy to lead, I want a guy to be a man, I want a guy to make me feel safe and protected”, why? Because a man has a role. And to any idiot female on here who says, ohhh look when guys get angry do they control their emotions. I can’t speak on behalf of all guys but I’m not looking for a verbal altercation or physical fight at the local bar at 2am. But yeah anyone who pisses me off where I’ve let things go but if they keep pestering me, I’ll have some balls to tell them off and put them in their place. People can view that as being “emotional” nah overall I can control my emotions but if someone is racist, insults my religion, insults my mother, it’s on. There was a girl a few months ago who insulted me and said fuck you. I told her I’ll still pray for your well being that God blesses you. Other guys probably would flip out but it hurt and I don’t talk to anymore. Women are more emotional and even my 3 older sisters, my female cousins, my mom and my even female scholars know that women can be more emotional and narcissistic. Look what feminism of today has taught females — argue more, fight more, be more arrogant. That’s why a lot of guys today just use women and girls for sex. Because guys and men don’t want the headache and stress females have. I hope ladies on GAG read that again, if dudes keep playing with your feelings and you keep getting screwed over literally and metaphorically, it’s because 1) you are choosing bad guys and or 2) he only values your body but hates your personality so only views you as a short term thing. Women in 2023, change your bad traits and become better in 2024.

its01ashi2001 · Answer

Not all but yeah, in general, it's seen that Women r comparatively more emotional than men. Or we can say they just express their heart out whatever they feel like. Be it a li'l happiness , love , care anything it can make them bloom instantly. Their emotions will be reflected instantly. Also they just cry out all the weight off their burdened hearts. Contrary to this, men r generally taught to be stronger or they r raised like that.. they r supposed to be physically as well as emotionally strong coz they hv a lot of responsibilities on their shoulders. They r like the pillars of a family who is supposed to be the strongest. but it shouldn't be like this... they do have emotions too. All should understand that. They can cry too whenever it's heavy to handle... why not! As brothers, as fathers , As partners, as husbands , they understand our emotions well n take a lot of efforts for our one smile. In the same way, we should also understand their emotions and be there with them in their hard Times. Nd guys being emotional n crying their heart out must be normalised.

Anonymous · Answer

Women are “ MORE EMOTIONAL ” than men. Because of high estrogen. And low testosterone. Men are less emotional because of less estrogen and higher testosterone. We both have these hormones. But women have it different than men. For example me; I suffer from a condition called  PCOS . Causes higher testosterone in the body, not as high as estrogen, but pretty damn high. More than the average woman. It causes more hair growth like a man. Deeper voice, less emotional.  This is why men are better leaders than women. They’re less inclined to think with emotion and feelings, and more inclined to be logical and use survival instincts. Men can be pretty damn emotional too. Not as much as women. But they can be. When I first started sleeping with my ex. I remember that I was the unaffectionate one because I never had sex before and I didn’t know how to cuddle and make out and be affectionate. If anything he was the emotional and affectionate one. Cuddling and kissing and holding me. Doing all these things a I was laid up there awkwardly, motionless. Teaching me how to be romantic cause I had no idea. Men need to be babied too. Baby them after they’ve done the Hero Work, lol 😆😆😆   If you’re an anomaly, unhealthy like me. PCOS.. have high testosterone… Chances are you’re less emotional, less affectionate.

Anonymous · Answer

I think women are more emotional. Sure you have some men who are just as emotional as women, especially today’s younger generation. But that’s because a lot of women are telling men they want emotional men. A lot of single mom’s are raising men to be what they think their idea of a man is. Which really is all wrong. That’s when you get these really emotional, soft men most times. Women are usually controlled by their feelings. Men usually are logical. I mean if you think about it, in movies, in real life, girls get emotional. Why do you think there’s a Hallmark channel, chick flicks, because women are emotional, it appeals to them. Look at society today. Society caters to women to make them feel better, to not hurt their feelings. When have you ever heard of a plus size male model? Maybe you have but not to the extreme of women. Women tell themselves or come up w all these terms to make them feel better. Or they shame men for not liking them. Accusing him of being fat phobic, shaming him cause he doesn’t want to date her because she has X amount of kids. Or because she used to be a porn star, on only fans, maybe she has a hundred body count. That is based on emotions, not logic as to why men don’t want that. Women tend to make their decisions based on how they feel at the time, most times it’s not logic. I think too when you think about I, women are usually in professions that deal w people, because that’s what they’re interested in. So that has to do w feelings, w their emotions. Men tend to be interested in things.

Let's talk about these traditional gender roles. They're like an old sitcom that just won't get canceled, and they affect both men and women. It's like trying to watch TV, but you only have one channel, and that channel has just one show!

For the guys, it's like they're stuck in a never-ending episode of "Tough Guy: The Sequel." They get one character to play – the tough, emotionless leader. It's like being the star of a movie, but they forgot to give them the superhero suit. And when it comes to emotions, they're only allowed to choose from the "angry" emoji – that's their emotional palette, apparently!

Now, for the ladies, it's not just about choosing a role; it's like they're told they can't switch channels. It's like saying, "You can have cake or ice cream, but not both!" Life's a buffet, but with a strict limit.

But wait, there's more! These roles can also mess up social interactions. Men give compliments, and suddenly, it's like they're auditioning for a dating show. "Nice tie" becomes "Will you marry me?" And for women, they're just being nice, but it's like folks think they're handing out gold stars at kindergarten.

So, these roles, they turn social interactions into a social obstacle course. It's like trying to navigate a maze blindfolded, folks! And it can create misunderstandings and missed connections.

But here's the deal – we've got to break free from these roles. We need more narratives, more emotions, more choices. Let's make social interactions great again, without all the extra baggage!

It's about embracing a world where everyone has the remote control to their own life story, and where compliments are just compliments, not relationship proposals.

Miristheiss · Answer

Of course. Men rely on logic and reason much more often and base life choices on that and are willing to be more independent and less easily swayed or scared. Women make decisions based on feelings and emotion much more. They give into group think much more often. That is why women voting has our country with no border, being overrun by aliens and we can't figure out what a woman is and men get to be on girls volleyball teams and swim teams and field hockey teams and it is bigoted to say no to that. Women led the charge that everyone who didn't take an experimental vaccine should lose their job. That is why so many women divorce as soon as they get bored and the "feelings" go away.

It is all about feelings.

TruliAdreamerInLove · Answer

No. They express the core emotions differently. Some probably spend most of their time in a certain spectrum or range. There’s a large list of emotions a human can feel according to the sciences. Sometimes men don’t express some emotions and sometimes they just show it in different formats. A lot of times men may be forced or brought up to handle the situation and not acknowledge their emotions. If they can’t handle they may develop bad habits because of the stressor or suppress and possibly deal with it later.

etsylo · Answer

emotionally stronger? there are lots of women who aren't emotionally stronger, but just emotional and incapable of actually speaking out their feelings. they just feel but they don't always vocalize their emotions.

men on the other hand, due to how society has constructed the belief that emotional men are 'weak' literally don't know how to properly feel. they may feel emotions but they most likely don't know what emotion it is and probably don't know how to regulate themselves and they might as well keep it secret. in terms of which one is emotionally stronger, I've seen men top it more than women.

basically, what im trying to say from what i have seen so far,

women are emotional beings.
men are emotionally strong beings.

aceleon · Answer

no they are not more emotional they are just need more emotional stimulation, this is why they tend to find themselves ''stuck'' in dysfunctional relationship with the ones they call jerks those, the bad boy thing comes from this they stimulate emotions intensely they don't have to be positive ones like desire or passion, anger, sadness, jealousy, fear all of them works, no woman has a hard time leaving a nice guy if they find problems in their relationship, they won't look back and have a longing because those guys doesn't generate emotional reactions the most they can generate in woman is corny romance which by the way will grow old too fast.

RavVid · Answer

Men are emotional of course but societally we are not meant to act on them. We are trained not to react emotionally outwardly and in that process we do learn to put a lid on emotions.

I might say something on it to a trusted female - mostly to explain why I am in a poor mood. Usually she will try to talk about it and that is exactly what I don't want to do. The less I talk about it the sooner I am over it.

The truth is men do learn to control their emotions.

Women seem to glory in their emotions and supported in having emotions by validation. i can only think this enhances the strength of emotions in women in an inverse way men learn to shut down emotions.

If you think about it our strongest emotion is sex and we'd really like to force sex on comely women when we get an erection over them. But we don't.

lucasnabizada · Answer

There's always problems about talking of generalities versus individuals... Which is to say no matter you say you can always find examples of the opposite... But generally speaking I do find that in most regards emotions play a much more prominent part in Female- discussions; logic; justifications; and problem solving... What i'm saying may seem stereotypical but to me the stereotype is there for a reason... A lot of the time for most men emotions are either not felt or pushed to the way side to either find a very concrete cold solution- whereas woman will put a lot more emphasis on what is the emotional effect of things they are about to do... WHat should be clear is that in no way does this make men superior in any way, in a lot of ways it makes them more inept to express emotions so not so good.. And AGAIN it depends on individuals although i do believe the exception confirms the rule and that generality can be applied

JacobJordan · Answer

The term "women are more emotional than men" is of course a generalization it is also true on that level. This means if you rounded up 100 random men and 100 random women and went through more of the women would be emotional compared to the men. And more of the men would be rational compared to the women. That does not mean men are not emotional or women are not rational it just means on average women will be more emotional and men will be more rational. So if we acknowledge that yes exceptions exist and we likewise acknowledge that exceptions don't make the rule then yes women are more emotional than men. That is not a bad thing either

Hanrej · Answer

The question originates from political debates. When a topic is discussed typically men would lean on facts, reports, numbers etc while women would more typically use emotional arguments, imploring the audience to vote after what was right rather then most beneficial.

This was when women started getting political and struggled to gain influence in society but has in later years become... Less true. These days men and women seem equally prone to use emotional arguments as they are to present facts.

RingOfFire · Answer

I think both men and women each have their strengths and weaknesses around emotions.

I think both men and women are "emotional," but in different ways. I think womens' emotions tend to be more erratic, quick to change and are more likely to interfere with their sense of reason. On the other hand I think women are better at empathizing than men. Mens' emotions can be just as strong, but are more consistent and less erratic and they tend to be better at separating their reasoning ability from their emotions. But they tend to lack empathy compared to women.

mandyfire98 · Answer

Different people use different emotions. I've come across men that were very emotional. I've been around many men that have outbursts of anger, I've been around men that were far far more insecure than most women and would emote based off of those insecurities. Men who would pitch more fits than women as well.

In my experience it's just based on individual personalities and not necessarily gender based.

Anonymous · Answer

Well none of us have experience in being both a biological male and female so we can only speak for our one side, but I'd say we both feel similar emotions except guys are taught to suppress them while girls are free to express them.

I think the main difference is also in the type of emotion we feel. Very few mature guys will respond to pain with an emotion of sadness or an urge to cry, it’s almost entirely anger. Whereas women appear to be much more inclined to feel sadness from pain. Generally speaking, if a guy gets punched, his immediate response is to hit back in anger. If a girl gets punched, her response is to cry and wait for a man to hit back for her.

For example, how many videos have you seen where a few guys are going at it, punching each other up on the street. They’re taking all the pain but only feeling emotions of anger. Meanwhile, their girl is crying and begging them to stop. She’s taking none of the pain but only feeling emotions of sadness.

WOMEN HISTORICALLY WERE ENCOURAGED TO SHARE EMOTIONS WHILE WORKING IN GROUPS IN THE TRADITIONAL "HUNTER GATHERER" SIDE OF EVOLUTION. WHERE AS MEN HAD TO BE THE "PROBLEM SOLVERS".. FIGURING OUT WAYS TO BRING DOWN THAT BEAST THEY NEED FOR FOOD. HOW TO BUILD HOMES FOR THEIR FAMILIES. ETC... WOMEN TYPICALLY USE TWICE AS MANY WORDS PER DAY AS MOST MEN TOO.. THEY WERE ENCOURAGED TO TALK AND SHARE FEELINGS IN THEIR GROUPS. MEN HAD TO QUIETLY SOLVE PROBLEMS (YOU CAN'T KILL A WILDEBEEST IF YOUR TALKING UP A STORM)...

No way. Men are far more emotional than women. You have to remember that anger is also a emotion. Men have started tons of wars and killed many because their emotions are crazy and out of control. Women might get emotional and cry but we aren't killing people and starting wars

IronPhoenix · Answer

On average women are definitely more subjective on how they make important decisions that will effect their lives than men do. So I would say yes women are more emotional than men.

In addition to this men are taught early in life to control their emotions if they want to be respected. Society would not respect a man who would cry if someone called them fat or had soup spilled on their new clothes or fell down. Nor would society respect a man who would lose is temper over trivial matters. These standards are not held to women anywhere near as much if at all. As a result women don't learn to manage their emotions as well into adulthood.

Yes it depends on the person. Some women are more emotional than other women. Some men are over emotional. But those men are not respected by other men. But if we are looking at the numbers Yeah women are more emotional. And many women would agree.

Dandelion1994 · Answer

Feeling emotional or expressing emotions? Both sexes probably feel a range of emotions though women are more encouraged to negate anger in favor of showing sadness whereas men it is usually the opposite. When men brazenly act out uncontrolled emotions, though, it usually is at someone else's physical expense.

DextroShade · Answer

Men have much greater control of our emotions because we have to. If a man gets in his feelings and acts out there is usually a harsh consequence for doing so such as going to jail, getting his ass kicked, losing his job, or getting dumped by his girlfriend. When women get in their feelings and act out the consequences are much less severe or usually nonexistent because we expect them to be emotional. The women pushing men to be more emotional are utterly ignorant to this reality.

Arya1990 · Answer

Absolutely not. It’s sad that women are deemed emotional because we are more emotionally mature.

What are emotions?

Men are more likely to murder their cheating or non cheating partners, men are more likely to commit suicide, men are more likely to have violent outbursts, men are more likely to throw rage fits and cause physical domestic violence, men are more likely to rape. I can keep going but I’m not saying men are bad, I’m saying men are FAR more emotional than women and if anything, women are far more emotionally superior than men.

modeunae · Answer

Yes. Just talk logic and notice how they'll start to frown, get sad, or become erratic-- calling you names or talking about the exceptions to rules, not wanting to change or accept the truth.

Women react emotionally to logic, or instead of reacting logically the same way you breathe subconsciously.

Women. Are. Emotional. And that is FAR, MORE than men.

Our brains are structured differently. That is a scientific fact not a theory.

There is also environmental conditioning. I’ve dated women from Southeast Asia and they were much more stoic on the surface compared to western women. That’s not to say they don’t have all the emotions going on in their mind. They definitely do but they control it better given their upbringings.

Flatmanlewis · Answer

As a general rule, yes, but in a society where we are raising young boys without positive male role models and pipelining feminine ideals into them were seeing this being the case less and less.

A good man should bring some measure of stability and calm into any situation he’s in. Too many young men have feelings about situations and react on emotion.

Women are more emotional in the sense that they are more likely to feel the sort of emotions that don't drive them to do something about them. Anger, lust, fear.. Men pretty much feel those or nothing. Women have a whole bunch of other stuff, plus those.

It probably does depend on the person. Everyone's personality and behavior is different. When it comes to guys showing emotion, some refuse to, thinking it's a sign of weakness. Some people think crying is a sign of weakness also

Women are not more emotional than men, but women are conditioned by society to express and trust their emotions, while men are conditioned to hide their emotions and resist being controlled by them.

The female can be stronger & more dangerous than the male if she’s conditioned by certain life lessons/people. I think we’re more calculated. We know how to recover quickly & how to play the long game. Unfortunately, I find that most females don’t tap into their full potential - too many of them are fragile and predictable because they can’t separate logic from emotion. Internal misogyny? Perhaps. But there’s certainly a pattern.

Yes, females are more emotional, their emotions fluctuate due to monthly changing hormonal profiles, they express emotions more freely, they are allowed by societal norms to express their emotions.

Probably same

Expressed differently

Womens talk more.. To their friends, mom, sisters. Men don't talk much. Maybe exercise instead. Men are likely to drink to escape negative emotions.

There is the risk of hot headed violent behaviour in men.

I would say the feelings are same just expressed differently

HawkPerception · Answer

There is research into this topic that shows yes... women are indeed more emotional than men.

Rei13 · Answer

I would say no. I think it is more socially acceptable for women to show emotions than it would be for men to do so. Also it just depends on the person to be honest.

Yeah 100%, was a question here on gag a few days ago asking if you rely more on emotions on logic, the amount of girls answering emotions was way higher.

I'm not sure that every woman is more emotional , but I think its more how they express emotions , crying , and reactions to things , its more of a social agenda.

Yes.. due to pms, menstruation, pregnancy. Women usually feel emotions stronger than men but thats not a bad thing.

No women has more brain cells, in her feminine state she very detail oriented. While men in their masculine state is tunnel focus!

Joshydavid25 · Answer

Women are more emotionally expressive usually.. But of course we both experience emotions the same.. Men are just more likely to bypass their emotions to whatever the situation calls for..

Dargil · Answer

I think yes, but it appears to vary by culture. Compare Latina women to Chinese women for instance. One tends to be effusive, the other more dry.

Unit1 · Answer

Fair to say we are equally emotional. Men are only strongly conditioned to contain and repress emotions, which obviously is telling a lot.

SunnyRS · Answer

No, I don't think so according to me they are more level headed, and they deal with their emotions better that's why people see it and feel they are more emotional, men just keep it inside and then pop like a balloon in the end.
