Many women wish that their men were more emotionally available, yet when a man cries or shows sensitivity, he is perceived as weak or un-masculine.

    Isn't that tragic? D@mned if you do, and d@mned if you don't! (What? nothing on the 'fire sign' this is incomplete)

      I have never had much of a problem sho9wing my emotions. I certainly don't feel any less of a man because of it either. There's a movie called, "Imitation of Life". I don't know how many times I have watched this movie. Every time I do though I sob like a baby for the last half hour of it! Does this make me less of a man? I don't think so. Men cry, they just don't cry as easily as women.

        Doesn't 'emotionally unavailable' just mean that we don't care about or become emotionally invested in exactly the same kinds of things? As anyone else, not just women. And are not willing to fake it?

        Could it be that women are just not at all subtle about their emotions (except maybe the ones they are faking), and the full spectrum of men's emotions and expression of them is just completely lost on (most) women, because we refuse to let ourselves express them to the point of hammed up irrationality?

        Nah. It's really because we're just not getting sucked into 'that' conversation again. You're too emotional about it.

          That's why I like Johnny Depp so much. :)

            I enjoy answering Dan and Jennifer's articles to give my unbiased and sometimes straight forwards retorts.

            Remember in High School when the leather jacketed abusive teenagers seemed to get the girls to swoon over their antics including downright obnoxiousness? It was quite amazing but it took years of living to understand that women ARE, especially at the younger age, looking for strength of character regardless of the faults within that character. That is life, so why in the hell are women having a problem with men not showing emotion, men have learned from life, women do not desire nor find attractive, emotions from the male species. Find fault within my post but it is the truth. Women do not desire a sniffling male companion and if so how could they depend on them for protection?

              The emotional man is the guy who is kicked into the "Friend Zone" every time!

              The truth is that big boys don't cry...much.

              If they do, they blame it on astrology. :P
