    Men are trained to not have feelings. Ever hear someone say quit being a sissy and stop crying to a boy. No one would ever say that to a girl.

    I say that to everyone, man or woman. :laugh:

    i read something on a message board today that really bothered me. basically this woman was like "men aren't that deep, they don't have feelings."

    i understand SOME men are like that (and by the way, so are some women... we're not immune, stupidity is an equal opportunist) but i can honestly say that out of all the males i am close with, every single one of them has had some sort of issue and has gotten emotional/upset about something that wasn't football or money.

    "They don't have feelings" is very different from "they don't express their feelings." Some men DO, but a lot of them have trouble with that. But not expressing something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

    I'm generally very stoic in my life, but believe me, I have feelings. (And I'm not a man, either.)

    wow!!!

    i think men are smart... and beautiful and lovely and awesome and strong.

    :blushing: :heart: :smooched: :flowerforyou: :love:

    there are dumb humans, sure, i agree but just because we get emotional about something you don't consider a valid reason to get emotional, doesn't make you dumb.

    i get emotional about soccer. i'm not dumb!

    i actually love football and get really amped/pissed off, so i dont really know why i even used sports as an example hahaha just trying to make a point =P

    As a Canadian I proudly get over excited and pissed off at hockey. And I usually out shout the guys.

    This isn't a man bashing thread, it seems to be more a man praising thread. I get so annoyed when people comment on a thread having not actually READ any of the posts.

    WHAT?? You have to read to know what someone means? Say it ain't so!

    Hahahhaaa...but they do get emotional over money and sports....and the cooter-pepper.... LOL...Okay, let me stop....

    Yeeeah this thread is going to need to come to a complete stop until I get a clear definition on "cooter-pepper".

    I'm half intrigued and half afraid I'll be blinded.

    I'll second this....cooter-pepper???

    If it weren't for being married and all, I'd be like the "Moar BABIES" woman in that mock Nutrigrain commercial. Except, instead of babies, I'd be all like "MOAR MENS."

    As with anyone, it just depends on the person and how the act. Though I actually find, in face to face situations, I get along far better with men because I don't have to pretend to like "the mall" and having facials. I can curse and not worry about offending them (except these lovely ladies here on MFP -- they're in a class of their own, obviously.)

    You know, it is really silly when people complain about men getting upset about things, when they also say that men have no feelings. I have found that men are just like women - human. We each find things that bug us, get upset, and blow up. Then, there are some things that bug others and we just sit there saying, "Why are you so bent out of shape over that?"

    We each have things that we do that others won't/don't like. No one is perfect. So while one person is saying that this person or gender is this or that, that other person or gender is saying something right back at them that is just as negative.

    Sounds like a playground to me.

    Personally, I prefer interacting with men over women 99% of the time. I think men (in general) are wonderful - logical, practical, not usually prone to holding grudges, sensible, funny... lots of really fabulous qualities.
    Women have great qualities too, but men are AWESOME.

    I do not equate intelligence with emotionalism.
    In my world, men are men; we don't snivel and moan about life, challenges or how hurt our feelings are.
    I don't want to hang with a bunch of overly sensitive crybabies who have some compulsion to whimper about everything.
    What boredom!
    What high maintenance!
    Just shut up and serve the ball or launch the boat or get out the rifles. I want playmates - not therapy patients.

    Men like women who enjoy facials.

    I agree that men are awesome. But so are women.

    As much as I hate the man-bashing, the woman-on-woman bashing bothers me more.

    Totally incorrect. Girls are told not to cry as well. Lumping someone into a stereotype based on gender, race, age, or sexuality is uncool.

    Perhaps all these things will become a non issue if we can ever get to a point where it is politically correct to admit that men and women are just both physically and emotionally different and that is actually a good thing we are.

    Respect for a lady and the way she sees,interprets and reacts to life will help a guy not be frustrated at times.
    Respect for the way a guys outlook and reactions are based on the way his mind works will help deal with misinterpretation of feelings.

    Maybe will never happen and right now I don`t see any desire for it in our educational system or mass media.

    I would, and do totally say that to girls. But, I am a hard *kitten*.

    Yup...I tell my daughter to suck it up and stop being a baby about things. Not being mean, preparing her for the REAL world out there. Little girls that are allowed to be constant whiners grow up to be someone else's nightmare.

    It's not that we don't have emotions. We would rather spend our energy on dealing with the problem than expressing our emotions. Many times we expect our women to do the same. But women would rather be heard and understood instead of actually fixing the problem. I find that is where me and my wife bump heads a lot. In order to make it in a relationship, one has to understand that men and women are very different creatures. And we have to respect each other's differences. We don't necessarily have to understand the differences, but know that there are differences...

    Yeah, you do have it right. That being said, most of the guys I know are pretty "tough" but if something hits home they are emotionally deep. My former best friend was like that and it doesn't bother me unless they're rude to me. My former boyfriend was just emotional all over the charts all the time and that's just too much. I can appreciate sensitivity in a guy but not to that level, I need some stability too.
