i'm not saying that this happens all of the time or anythings wrong with it but in the relationships i have been in it seems like the women get more emotional than the guys when something comes up, like if something big came up i would just try and work through it as best as i could but then my gilrfriend at the time would probably cry or do something like that and im not saying that its bad or anything, i just don't understand it and i was just hoping that maybe someone could explain it so i could help next time...i would like to thank you for taking the time out of your day to come by and read and review my discussion and hopefully answer, i hope that you all have had a great day so far and that you have a great and safe evening today, thanks again for taking the time to come by...

women are really really emotional and they are so because of the environment they have grown and they are not allowed free to go to any where they wish they restricted to the kitchen so they develop strong relationships with the few people they can talk to and move along so they respond to any minor changes in the behavior or health or any other things related to these people

While I agree that women are more emotional, ravitejareddy, I take offense to your reasoning. I believe that God made our brains to react differently and that hormones play a large role. But to say the women are restricted to the kitchen and are not allowed to go freely to anywhere they wish, is not the reality of the country I come from. Maybe that is the way it is where you come from. But certainly not in most places in the world.

well, it is just women's nature i guess... that's how God created women... women use their emotions more while men use their rationale more... so don't be surprised if you see your gf so emotional and cry a lot because that's the way women are... take care and have a nice day...

Maybe you should read a book about that. There is this book "Men are from Mars and Women from Venus". I haven't read it though but I know this books pretty much explains the difference of a man and a woman. In my own observation its all about the biological make up of man and a woman. By nature male specie's role in life is to protect and provide for his offspring that is why the biological makeup of a man is to be tough at most times and his focus is to provide food and everything so there is not much emotional needs that he needs to show to his partner. On the other hand, the female species role in life is mostly to produce offspring and to rear her offspring. By doing that she is more exposed to the caring and rearing thingy that we men rarely encounter. So I guess that explains it all why women are emotional, it's because they are biologically designed to be like that.

I think our society has trained women to be more emotional and men to be less emotional. This has been an ongoing process for generations. I do think as more women find themselves in traditionally male dominated careers and/or responsibilities, they learn to become less emotional. It wouldn't be acceptable for a CEO to cry for example. Also, if you head up the household and you have a family depending on you, you are less likely to want to cry in front of them because they see you as the backbone of the family. At least personally speaking, that role forces me to supress my emotions as much as possible because I don't want to instill fear or instability in my children.

It is the way people raise their children I catch myself telling my grandson to shake it off if he gets hurt boys don't cry, which is wrong. We all think that guys are suppose to be tough and they should be able to handle every thing. When it is the women behind the man that makes him tough ( ha ha had to throw that in there). We all have felt that men are suppose to be tough but I would rather know my man has it in him to cry then to never cry, so I am going to try harder with my grandson to make him understand that. P.S. Don't do any thing wrong and she will not cry.

Women are more emotional in everything, generally and stereotypically speaking. It's just the way women are, the way a woman's brain works is much, much different and you might never completely understand it. Just try to keep her happy!

may be women are born like that. they are due to their mental setup more emotional. but in any case there are exceptions as well.

I have experience it to jhl930. I end up my relationship because of that. We always argue because she is too emotional. Sometime girls have to adjust. They should never be carried out by their emotions.

The main fact for this reason is women signifies soft-heart,kindness,loving nature All these are the characters of women.The moment women relates herself to any objects or a person she will develop a bond or relation which will enclose herself to that.She will be affectionate to those who she meets everyday or shares any thoughts,that might be her husband,children or even the pet animal what she has in her home.Thats why our mothers will be more affectionate to their children's or to their family.

It is our nature law that has been set by our Lord, Allah the God Almighty that women's thinking more to emotion, while men tend to think based on logics. It's not bad though, it's kind of good sinergy. I suggest you guys read the book written by John Gray," Men from Mars, Women from Venus". In this book he suggest that men and women are totally different when it come to relationship. Women tend to give care (emotion) while guys tend to give suggestion(logic) when they are solving or having problems. It is our job to learn and understand the differences. When we understand, then we could use the differences as a sinergy between man and woman too our advantage in relationship especially marriage.
