Men Usually Share Information Not Feelings

It is very interesting to learn about the difference between men and women. There a lot of things that surprisingly differ men from women. One of these is the fact that men usually share information while women usually love sharing feelings. No wonder that women emote every time they have a sharing moments with friends, family or even with strangers. On the other hand, it is very hard to understand men because when we, women want to see and learn what is happening inside them, they only tell us information of things. That is why if you are not that sensitive enough to what they are telling you, you will be called by them as badly numb. Men actually were not taught to identify feelings and much more that they were being taught to share them. Well, in our society we know that if our man will share his feelings, he will be portrayed as weak. Of course, no one, better yet, no man wants to be called weak.

yer, i agree with you. most of my male friends won't share their feelings if i don't ask them. but when there are only close friends by their side,they'd like to tell me what happened and what feelings in them. i would like to listen to them and usually give them some advice. men also need share their feelings, however we always overlook them.

It's like men are more anylitical (spelling) and women are more in tune with their feelings.

Of course men and women are different in their feelings..otherwise they would be get bored by each other.Women tend to be soft and nice and emotionally strong.Men also has emotional feelings otherwise how could they express their love to the women,show love and care towards child etc., I guess, men think it is a waste of time to express feelings all the time.Otherwise who will fight for the country,build tall buildings and so on.Though men and women do a lot of common activity but in reality men do much tougher things which require lot of concentration and hard work.Women are also definitely different.They are more interested in being fashionable and getting the people's attention.They find their worth when people appreciate them.On the other hand some men are a variety.. Some men want only publicity, some are rebellious and some are always in search of the truth about stuff...they even sacrifice their life for this.They spend most time in getting knowledge while women tend to talk and talk. I mean there is nothing wrong in it...just they are different and we have to accept the fact.Why it is that men always chase women..and not the reverse? You can't change that..simple

sometimes it is not good for women to share too much about their feelings and for men to be too reserved to express what they feel. i think we should create a balance . men should learn to be open also to their feelings so to develop better relationship with people. it is quite boring if all you do is share information and not develop a relationship more than that.

For me yes because after sharing it to the one they like they do what it is feel about love to that girl.

I really don't understand why most men is not expressive when it comes to sentimental things. They have a tendency to keep it or suppress their feelings. That's why they said men are from mars and women are from venus :)

Yes, and I have some gay friends who do show their feelings and totally understand women, while straight men don't have a clue to what is going on. Men just share information as you said, but they show no feelings at all. Then straight men kind of make fun of gay men for being in touch with their feelings and call them effeminate. I wish more men could share their feelings better.

Yes, you are right.Men usually suppress their feelings when compared to women. The reason for this is the same thing you mentioned; the fear of being called as weak. But at the same time I don't think that it is a good practice to reveal our emotions except to our dear ones. Otherwise someone will think of us as just a "time KILLER".

That's not true, I emote. Want me to emote right now? But seriously, it really depends. There are women who isn't really that emotional. They tend to hide their feelings whenever they're hurt to appear strong and one told me that it's because of past relationships that's why they do that. She said it makes them look weak. Yeah, it's true, crying makes you look weak but we all know not everything is what it seems from the outside.

That's true. Men tend to keep their feelings to themselves only. This morning, i was surprised when my busband woke up early to tell me about a check that his staff wasn't able to deposit since its issuance last December. We were watching TV and talking last night but he didn't bring it up. He knows that i am very much adept in things like that , because i previously worked in a bank for so many years. Maybe, he gets shy to admit to himself that i know better than him in things like that, so it took him a while to consult me for it. he was silent when i advised him on what to do about it. I kissed him to assure that i am just here to be consulted for things i know of.

You would love the book I have just re-read: 'Why Men Don't Listen & Women Can't Read Maps' by Allan and Barbara Pease. I'm sure you could get it on Amazon. I couldn't stop laughing, as it is written in a very entertaining but scientific way that teaches us about the evolution of male and female differences. Men: Lunch Chasers Women: Nest Builders
