Do women really talk more about feelings than men?

I have heard that women talk about feelings more than men and that men tend to talk more about things that happen without talking about feelings. However, women I know always talk about things that happen and never talk about feelings. I have actually had much better luck talking to men about feelings than to women. What are other people's experiences?

I think that generally speaking, women are more opened to speaking about how they feel. At least, this has been my experience. I'm not saying at all men don't speak about their feelings and women always do. All I'm saying is that this seems to be the case, for the most part.

Women are more open and expressive when it comes to their feelings,compared to men. Women talks freely with their feelings,maybe becoz,that's the least they know how to express their emotions,love and care to their love ones.

Yes I think women’s are really very careful about feelings. And they talk about feeling much than a man. I think them always careful about any relationship. And never want to loose any relationship so they always caring about this and also in love they have much feelings than a man.

I know I am always talking about my feelings and my husband refuses to talk about his feelings. He doesn't like to tell me about how he's feeling I'm not sure why. Possibly because he will feel like less of a man or less macho... I don't know. It's hard to talk to him about things like that, he just changes the subject. =)

Generally, women talk about emotional issues more than men do. This doesn't mean that men can never talk about feelings or be compassionate...they're just not wired that way. I recently told my husband that the owners of the local bar in our town have separated and are planning to divorce. His only comment was that he wondered how they're going to split up the business. I, on the other hand, felt terrible for the both of them because they're lovely people and, since I don't know the circumstances of the situation, I can't imagine why this is happening. Of course, I couldn't talk about it with my husband because, logically, we don't know anything so what is there to say? LOTS!
