It's kind of stupid. Everyone seems to think I mean it as a synonym for "hot" as in "I'm hot" and it's not the case at all. It's kind of a joke.

Ok so this is off topic and I'll try to end with something about emotional men to make it on-topic:

When I was like in early secondary school like JS1 or 2, my best friend at the time and I thought we were so cool and original and we would be like oh we're the nigerian spice girls: Atarodo & Tatase (and she was atarodo and i was tatase) and we would waste time making posters and designing costumes (for our "Top of the Pops appearances"wink and then my brother had a video camera and we would make him film our "music videos" (and yes we had songs and choreographed dances although i don't really remember any of them. ok i'm lying i do) and "interviews." Anyway we were just really jobless in that way that 10-11 year old girls can be. I've stolen/destroyed all the tapes to prevent blackmail from my brother. And now it's one of those "remember whens" like an inside joke thing as you can see although it's not really an inside joke now anymore.

Ok to make this on point:
It's not bad for a man to be emotional if he's with the right person. i.e. someone who isn't irritated or made uncomfortable by the emotions he's showing.

wink No worries. A lot of people think that too. Which is so the opposite of anything I'd say or put in my ID. I don't trust all the "hot-this" and "sexy-that" IDs. They tend not to fit well with the reality. If you're really hot its not like you need to re-affirm it in your NL ID, you know what I mean?

In my opinion,a man,especially a mature man, should not be very emotional,and he should control his emotion in public,some friends had even mentioned before,a man with strong emotion looks like sissy.

However,we can show our real emotion to our girl friends or wife,or our parents, children and friends who are so close to us, but just certain emotion,not too much!Why,suppose you are a man,when you are angry and your girl friend wish to comfort you,but you even roar her,yeah,that's one kind of emotion expression,but,how about her feeling?will she feel good and crave for that?

its not right for a man to be emotional rather HE should be Rational
Re: Is It Bad For A Man To Be Emotional? by LordReed(m): 4:31am On Dec 17, 2008
Am thinking that a better word would be EXPRESSIVE. Saying a man is emotional in a guy's mind makes him think 'sissy'. I think u ladies should start saying 'I want an expressive man' instead of 'I want an emotional man'.

Re: Is It Bad For A Man To Be Emotional? by segzicres(m): 3:19pm On Feb 26, 2009
a man always have emotions but he's strong enough to conceal them from the woman or discard them when they come.
but a woman doesn't know how to hide or discard them feelings which makes them look very weak, though it's good for a man to be emotional only ones in a green moon.

Re: Is It Bad For A Man To Be Emotional? by Magz(m): 11:50pm On Feb 26, 2009
Men should never be too emotional. It is the man's job (especially the Black Man) to be the strong individual in the relationship. He must be resilient at all times.

It is a sign of weakness when a man cannot somewhat contain his Love and his Emotion when necessary. What it means is that does not have control. If he cannot maintain control of his own heart and soul, then he will not prosper in Love or in anything else.

Hells no!!

I am fucking emotional. Not too long ago I was in such a predicament that when I saw my girlfriend of over 3 years, I broke down and cried my heart out. And that was one moment in my life I will never forget.

Emotions are good as long as you know when to keep it in check and when to let it out.
Re: Is It Bad For A Man To Be Emotional? by Parnassuss(m): 4:17pm On Jan 04, 2011
I am very emotional.
I lose my temper every given opportunity. However I don't mind seeing people suffer. But every man ought to have more control on his emotions whatever the case. I find that emotions are terrible even when directed at women. sad
