Do guys really prefer a more emotional woman? This has been blowing my mind lately. I guess I’ve been around too many men who make me feel like a head case if I say more than 5 words about my feelings
While I can definitely appreciate stoicism, unshakable, unmoveable, at peace with things just happening around you... It just, granted in my probably short sided view of it, seems like a kinda boring way to live...
Emotional is fine as long as she's not xyz...1 -

You shouldn't have to do anything really... If he's flirting with you and you do not reciprocate it... He'll get the hint and leave it alone... Unless he's like me, 🤷🏽♂️... Then you better just run 🤷🏽♂️... Because that's just how I am 🙈😂
Not so obvious things you might do... A lot of communication is non verbal... Tension, blushing and extra friendly attention I suppose 🤷🏽♂️3 -

Being one of those 'emotional women' I always feel like I'm constantly watering them down to not cause conflict for myself or being labeled a cry baby & so on. I also think men don't like that because they don't know how to handle their own emotional baggage.3 -

I have more baggage than Paris Hilton on Safari and I handle it pretty well; I damn sure do.7 -

I think there are a few of us guys who have handled our emotional baggage (I am one of them). It took years for me to do it but if us guys keep doing the same thing, we get the same results.
I will say, I don't necessarily prefer a more "emotional" woman but I like a communicative woman. I think it is important for both parties in a relationship to communicate and share how they feel. I have learned over the years to allow myself to be vulnerable which is one my greatest blessings!

Hey....you said you like to flex and carry bags. There you go! Now that’s a freaking flex all right.3 -
unless you're a roadie for The Rolling Stones, there's no reason to travel with that much gear.
the 'hot travel tip of the day' :
Just carry a small bag with the bare essentials and simply buy clothes and toiletries once you reach your destination.2 -

I’m sure somebody’s gonna roast me again. For thinking I’m sharing something profound and deep with you. Maybe I should send it privately but....I like to live dangerously. I don’t agree with everything this person says but I love a love of it. I start to feel like “yes *kitten*.....watch THIS goddess release her power.” And it was the first thing I thought of when I read your comment.

You’re doing it all wrong.0 -
Is it okay for a married woman to have a male friend she views as her brother. Her husband and him are friends too. But the friends wife on the other hand thinks that him and the married woman are having an affair......
Ps. She’s an *kitten*.

It’s a shame because me and my husband legit view him as family. But she honestly just hates me. Pisses me off we could all be such good friends. But she just can’t get over her insecurities I guess.

Well, anyone was in my experiences not a broad term so maybe things will change.
In my situation, she developed a crush on me and vented her marital problems on me yet him and I were friends too and then she thought he was gay - which we all did, but he ended up with a crush on me too so it soured fast. LOL. My wife got a kick out of it though.2 -

We can be travel buddies. This is the only way to do it. That and suites with kitchenettes in them so you're not forever eating restaurant food or stuck on some Godforsaken resort.1 -

Or, she's just insecure as you mentioned lol I'm sure you've already tried inviting her out as a "double date" kind of thing. Have you also tried having her pick the venue and having more control over it? Or, like, a game night deal? She sounds like she needs to loosen up, big time.2 -

Yes! We have tried double dates and she always complains the whole time about everything and then calls her mom and talks to her on the phone for at least an hour every time we do go somewhere. I also invited them and a few other friends over to my house for a bbq and she brought food from a burger place over and refused to eat my food. Lol like really... how old are we?

I bet the "friend" let it slip to the "wife" that he thinks you're hot or something and now she's insanely jealous 🤷🏽♂️5 -

I may be old fashioned, but my wife is the most important person on the planet to me. If she were bothered by me keeping company with you, and she and I couldn't work it out ... then it's good-bye to you. Also, I don't know what word is hiding under the *kitten* in your comment above, but the fact that MFP needed to hide it means it probably is not very nice. Anyone who would call my wife not-nice names is not my friend.10 -

I have honestly been nothing but nice and I have tried to have a real relationship with her. I’m not the one to try and leave anyone out. I have never done or said anything to make her uncomfortable and I think it’s rude of her. That’s all I was saying. And the fact that my husband loves him as a brother too should show her that it’s a mutual friendship and it’s sad to me that she won’t attempt to have one.2
