Why do men hide their emotions?
This is coming from a fellow man. Just a question. I am not an emotional person at all, nor have I ever met another man who is overly emotional.
[spoiler]emotional is not meant to be used in a bad way. I am simply wondering why men fear expressing emotions[/spoiler]

Because people give them dumbass standards

1 ReplyBecause we're supposed to be strong... showing resolve in the face of emotional distress is a sign of strength. It's okay to be emotional, but there is a time and place.

1 ReplyI straight up don't feel most emotions.

I don't know, but we definitely keep that shit bottled up. I feel that some guys may have some 'triggers', like girls for example.

We don't you're just bad at finding them.

It is how we have been nearly forced to be. No one really ever wants to date anyone overly emotional, though everyone says they would.
-
We are ego-crazed and are afraid of our blimp like ego to be popped by shedding a tear or sharing fealings

6 RepliesEmotions often go against logic. For me, my emotions take a backseat to reasoning and logic, and if that makes me seem to be hiding them, so be it. Emotions are unpractical in most situations and often just get in the way. I'm fine with people who express them, but some people take it too far and they lose sight of reason. Now that's not to say I don't get emotional or what not, I just try to keep myself in check. I think our emotions are important to express, but in moderation like everything else.

I don't know if it's a choice half the time. It's like a defence mechanism we've developed over the years. I opened up with this one chick and it was like a -blam!-ing waterfall of emotion that left me thinking I was -blam!-ing crazy.

Even more I important question. Why do emotions hide their men?
-
Its because men are normally told from a young age that not crying is manly and how men should act. Just as young boys are told that toy cars are for boys and dolls are for girls. So it's just upbringing really and the idea that men should should not show much emotion is just a popular idea. It sort of works out as a good thing though since men tend to be genetically wired to be more aggressive so teaching them to repress emotional impulses prevent some violence, which is likely why its such a popular idea to raise a boy like that.

Why do people say to grow some balls? Balls are weak and sensitive. Grow a vagina. Those things can take a beating! ~betty White

We are supposed to be the stronger sex. Being emotional is a sign of weakness. Why that is i don't know. I don't really care either because well I am a man and men don't do that sort of thing.

Men do not hide their emotions. Like me I tend to let MikeHawk do the talking for me.

We build a character when young and it keeps developing as we get older. Eventually we are hidden behind a wall of ego and expectations, and quite frankly, breaking that wall can be really difficult. It is because all I have ever wanted too do is be who people want me to be. To not let them down, so when I am hidden behind a wall of iron, I can't let those emotions out. All people have known me as is the guy with the muscle, no mercy, tough guy, and that was all developed when I was younger. So when I say," I love you" all I get back is a ,"sure...". It so much easier to hide our emotions than give our heart to someone with the power to break it, and trusting then not to. [spoiler]Drops Mic[/spoiler]

Me es man. Me no show cry me no cry.
-
Because we're men. Also because I have no emotions.
-
I've never been able to express them so I bottle them up and let them brew
-
I personally hide my emotions, so those around me feel confident in me, and anyone trying to get to me won't get the satisfaction. Though, I'm a pretty friendly person, so the latter doesn't happen often.
-
Well, I would say it's because men for the longest time have had to hold up to a standard that they're these "rocks" these unbreakable walls of stern, firm behavior, showing no emotion. Just getting the job done, no bullshit. And old habits die hard
