Like you may think that's a good idea and conceptually it is.
But I can assure you as a man that knows myself and knowsbother men. The world does not need men to be MORE emotional by any stretch of measure.

Love is love.

There was a period of time when I knew he cared. It’s how I began to care.

>There was a period of time when I knew he cared. It’s how I
>began to care.

So you don't want to know how much he loved you, you want to know how much he cared. That's valid, but it seems like his absence and the fluctuations of the intensity of expressing his care for you already equip you with the answer you're looking for. Sometimes...MOST times...the act of "Saying" or "telling" someone is nothing more than an unnecessary formality IMO.


>and I believe only love can sustain relationships.
Love isn't the only thing that can strengthen or support a relationship. And it damn sure can't do it all on its own. If that's all a relationship has is love...then it's doomed from the start. If that's all a broad relationship is whittled down to after some years, then it's doomed to eventually end.

In response to Reply # 37


  

          

I’d rather not get into a discussion about what constitutes love because I know where I was at during that period of my life.

I guess It bothers me because he could never be clear why he wouldn’t let go despite my pleads or maybe I missed it...

DST with the killer reference above.

The only women I fight with are my GF and my mom. Sidepieces and shit, hell nah, if you got beef then fuck off til it's resolved. But my mom after years of being the only woman that didn't hit below the belt is now ruthless with it. I'll be goddamned if my GF is gonna go the same way. The other day she did it for the first time, basically threw it in my face that one of my exes cheated on me, and I was no, we are not playing that fucking game. She knows how sensitive she is and what she's shared with me and was smart enough to realize it wasn't a path she wanted to travel down. But it's crazy how fast women lose control of their emotions and how quick they can be to do a 180. Like with my girlfriend or my best friend or parents or whomever, I have never gotten so pissed that I lost sight of who they are and what they meant. A lot of women will lose sight of all that and go 200 miles an hour in the opposite direction the second they feel hurt or threatened.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

18. "that aint real lol"
In response to Reply # 10


          

watching football with other dudes means they're all acting the same in Man world.

we don't let each other display less 'man' behavior. not saying dudes need to be mushy outchea, but I really don't think we have many honest discussions without trying to be Men.

I've noticed that men can be much more emotionally-expressive in contexts like that. Also when one male friend is going through a rough patch, he can express himself among the other male friends without having to worry about that shit changing the relationship dynamic, or being brought up later to shame that person.

44. "of course those are real."
In response to Reply # 24


          

I took your initial post as dudes watching a game and yelling at the tv. that type of group setting usually has certain types of emotional highs and bravado.

what Trin is talking about is male/female relationships. some dudes aren't good at being vulnerable with women. some dudes don't communicate enough. some dudes think they'll be seen as soft of they emote in the company of women. seen a ton of examples like this. I have cousins that are like that.

but we put a timer on that shit.

Especially during break ups. You get to talk about it once in depth, can’t be coming over having the same convo about the same shit.

I give it a month or two with relationships. That shit is deep and takes some time to unplug from. Sometimes a dudes' friends can be his only connection to the real world (and not bizzaro relationship world).

19. "When I think of "Emotion"..."
In response to Reply # 0


          

I think of it not so much in the sense of which you're ascribing, I think of my father-in-law who is fiery emotional and very much so in the vain of, "I'M GOING TO CLAP BACK AT WHOMEVER, WHENEVER." Yes, he has the years of seasoning to know right from wrong, like he said, "When I turned 50, I realized I couldn't whoop everybody's @$$ anymore." So, it took that reality (age) for him to settle down, but it didn't change his desire to be as "matter of fact" as he could be, to assert his "dominance".

Having said this...he's uber-emotional and because he still (at 67) has issues navigating his "sensitive" side he has peculiar ways of dealing with them, especially when he can't get his way.

Me..I'm sensitive (and cordial...and pretty well-read on situations...last to speak), but I'm also hard to read (poker game skrong). From where I sit, and this is solely my opinion, you're looking for a dude to engage that "sensitive". Pardon if I misspoke. Enjoy the weekend .

probably wasn’t the best choice of a post title but, you know me. lol

Ironically. I can’t figure out my emotions. Im still trying putting pieces together. Like, when he told me he was a coward. In my mind I was thinking, “nigga I’ll fight for you”.

bear with me. I don’t know how to give it all to you at one time

In response to Reply # 20


          

I would argue that men are MORE emotional than women because in many instances women are socialised to hide their feelings.

49. "Hiding emotions doesn't make a person less emotional."
In response to Reply # 39


          

It just makes you less expressive (as reply 2 pointed out) and more likely to be emotionally unhealthy or explosive. The emotions are still there whether you express them or not.

Beyond that, one could definitely argue that men are taught to hide emotions more, but my main point is my subject line.

53. "yup but the sentiment goes both ways"
In response to Reply # 49


          

Men are emotional as shit, hence the funneling of all of their emotions into recent movements like the alt right, tea party, gamergate etc. Instead of properly examining how and why they feel a certain way and expressing those emotions in more healthy ways, they lash out. In many ways society seems to say the only emotion that men can express is anger, and no matter if they are experiencing anger or not it is often expressed that way.

I won't deny that sometimes women are socialized into hiding emotions and they do it by just pushing the emotions down, but so often they are also told their emotions don't exist. As a test, look at any comment section when a women writes an article expressing her feelings about being sexually assaulted/harassed and see how many people, particularly men, try to insinuate the woman was feeling contrary to what her own words say! Some women internalize those views, and start to really believe that their very valid feelings aren't valid and never existed.

The young woman was Latina and decided to go away for college. She said one of the reasons she chose to go to the school was to experience differences in culture. One of them was to see people get 'white people wasted'. I was dying.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

you know the feeling I'm talking about... when something just drains you for the rest of the day like a hangover or a workout or not enough sleep and too much coffee.. or no coffee when you really really need it.

I find as an emotional guy I need to be careful about engaging in interactions with other emotional folks.. I've also learned to be more discerning about where and when I invest emotionally... live and learn.

61. "honestly, in the system we're in, men are raised to be selfish"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

or at the very least have the ability to be selfish in a different way than women.

I had a situationship like this with a girl from the time i was like 18-26...basically were together when we were in the same location, she'd come visit, i'd visit...I would say i loved her, we had a deep connection. but i was also young & immature in some ways, bad at communicating my wants/needs, & selfish.

In my head (& many men's heads) the "you knew what this was" defense is impenetrable. Around that age I was just learning the basic frameworks of feminism & took "I was honest in my words about this one thing" ("I don't think we should be in a relationship") to absolve me of any wrongdoing. In my head, it was 2015! If she had an issue with it she could just say so & it would be no hard feelings! I didn't want to take away her agency!

It wasn't until I eventually started dating a new woman that I started learning what it meant to actually communicate, & expanded my understanding of feminism. I really look back on those years & had to apologize to this other woman for (what I felt) was taking advantage.

Yes, she could have left at any point. Yes, I said I didn't want to be in a relationship. Yes, we were adults & could make our own choices. But I also know that I was socialized in a way that didn't place a value on women in that way (yea yea, I was a "gentleman" & would make sure no one "disrespected" them, but I wasn't critical of what was going on in my own house, so to speak) & she was socialized in a way that the power dynamic was never actually equal between us.

Often times men can rationalize this, but at least for me, I've gotten to a point where I recognize how my inability to communicate my wants/needs + selfishness fostered by the society I was raised in led to me not really being as "good" a person as I'd like to be.
