So a sensitive man isn't a "man"? Nothing wrong with a man shedding a tear or two.

An emotional man is a very stupid man! Women love jerks and insensitive Men! It makes them feel secure and safe. Its the Alpha Male attribute thy crave for!

In fact a little smacking here and there should make the girl fear and respect you the more!

The more you feel all broody, cool and emotional to her, the more she tries to dominate you and put you down!

OMG!! shocked shocked Dis that actually come from a brain

That a man who shows kindness and kind feelings is stupid?

That Women love people who have no regards/respect for them? That infact showing a woman disrespect gives her a feeling of security?

That the obnoxious and irritating overbearing attitude of men is what women crave for?

That physically abusing a lady makes her respect you. And of course for lady to fear her guy is a good thing?

That showing a woman you had a soul actually translates to her dominating you?

Wao!!! And I thought my slowpoke neighbour was a dunce!! tongue

I am actually picturing you in place of that miss uzoma that those naval officers beat the living crap from. Its people like you that deserve to be stripped naked on the streets and whipped mercilessly for your insolence. Its just a shame that it was that miss uzoma that beared it all. Walahi if it was you, justice would have been done and i hope very soon in the nearest future, you will follow the part of that chick and get thoroughly and mercilessly whipped and i would be glad to have a video of you in your show of shame and instant humility.

Just de run your mouth de go! Like a thief in the night without you being aware, your own brushing is coming!

There is absolutely nothing wrong in a man showing his emotions, especially to a woman he loves. If the woman thinks hes a sissy, and the woman wants a "strong" man, then the woman prolly doesnt deserve the guy, let them find their way. This is why some men feel the only way to get respect is by treating women like crap, and there are some low self esteem women who will not respect a man if he doesn't treat em anyhow, but thats a dysfunctional relationship anyways.
I know guys that put up this macho mask, and then go and cry on the laps of some other chick who isn't their wife or gf, so who is deceiving who?, and then guess what happens to ur marriage or relationship in the long run,
Lets all be real abeg, screw society, be your self, if u want to scream scream, if u want to be vulnerable to ur chick, do so, if she doesn't like it, move on with ur life. and get another girlfriend.

Re: Is It Bad For A Man To Be Emotional? by LordReed(m): 12:25pm On Dec 12, 2008
I think the real issue is wat sorts of emotions (and to wat length) are permitted to be publicly shown by men cos I mean anger is an emotion but no one calls an angry man emotional.

Bursting out in tears in public mite make a man look like a weakling while shouting n bragging makes him look strong or in control all the while we are dealing with different spectrums of the emotional scale.

My opinion, a man should not become a woman becos he wants to show he has soul but he should also not deprive himself of self expression becos he wants to please society.

I actually think it's sexy for a man to be VERY emotional. grin
Re: Is It Bad For A Man To Be Emotional? by Nobody: 1:42pm On Dec 12, 2008
Emotions are expressed at different times but a man must learn to control his emotions. after david wept til strenght had finished, he encouraged himself in the Lord and I think that's what we men should do. you can cry but dont exceed the elastic minute when a woman who started the cry with u would start consoling you. there is a time to cry and not too and such is life cos we are emotional beings. just using crying as a guide but emotions can be expressed in other ways too.
Re: Is It Bad For A Man To Be Emotional? by Nobody: 9:38pm On Dec 14, 2008
I agree with the person who said he should keep his emotions to the bedroom.

Sometimes we frown at things we shouldn't frown at.

There's showing emotion then there's being a cry baby. Am just hoping our men can differentiate between those two.

I agree.

As far as the crying:

I feel bad saying someone shouldn't be able to show their emotions (or cry) just because of their gender. I think there are times when it's ok to cry but the other day I saw some men crying on Moments with Mo because of their obviously unhealthy relationships had ended and I won't lie, it made me very uncomfortable (to me it was like take it home to your mom).

But at the same time, no one wants a man that is emotionally dead and cold. I think it's nice when a guy keeps the emotions between the two of you and when its not so all the time with the grand displays of emotion that it becomes Tatase and her crying boyf. Please o guys don't take this as excuses to be shites to girls. I think a guy can be sweet without being over-emotional.

between, I don't think its sissy-ish for men to cry, i just think maybe it's not really my taste. I know girls who like boys that are emotional in this way though, so if you're a big crier take heart, there are ladies out there for you.

Oh sure there's a difference but women's understanding of 'emotional' is different from men's. Don't expect us to become like yall just so we can show we gat soul ok?
