Why is it so hard for guys to express their emotions?

Question

& why do they say they want a girl who is upfront??

Answer 1

Because they think that girls are the only ones that get emotional...

Answer 2

We just are not as emotional as girls are and don't really think that much about our feelings. We want girls that won't be drama queens and have issues 24/7. It is annoying.

Answer 3

Good question!!

Its social conditioning - and very frustrating for the female!!

But they are not all like that ... I've been out with guys who have no problem expressing how they feel - in fact its a prerequisite of mine as I can't deal with the frustration of ''guessing''!!

Answer 4

Guys have been told from the time they were kids to suck it up or walk it off, both parents do it also, its not just the dad. So guys have been conditioned to hold their feelings in. Everyone wants someone to be up front with them.

Answer 5

It's kind of a deal of masculinity. A majority of men hide emotions because they think it'll make them more feminine and if they're with their friends, there's a good chance they'll rip them up into dozens of pieces.

I guess they like a girl who's emotional so they don't have to show much emotions.
