Emotions

To tell the truth, I don't think guys should express their emotions.

Because of the standard male battle for dominance; I think male emotions are substantially different than female emotions.

We both hate, we both love... but when a man hates... and when a woman hates... different words should be used to describe the feelings.

Not that any are less powerfull; only that society as a whole is used to and tempered by female descriptors and emotions.

Having a man express what he truely feels about any given subject; while being truthfull, would be 'shocking'. Not in the "I can't believe that man has feelings" sence. But in the "I can't believe he feels that strongly." or "I can't believe he feels so... bestial."

Women use... words to describe things. You don't have your primary color... you have a multitude of shades. You have things like fushia and dark fushia. Men developed the primary colors... and they keep making up new ones. Like RGB for televisions or the Cyan Magenta and Yellow for electronics.

Back to emotions; Men feel Hate... but to varying degrees. There's "light hate" if you would and "serious hate." And so on. I'm sure if you asked any man how he was feeling at any given time of any given day he would use a set of three words. Something positive, something negative and something adequate.

A woman on the other hand classifies. Describes and categorizes.

Women get "Mellow" and "Dis-gruntled." Men are "good" or "un-happy."

So... men could express emotions... just maybe to other men. While women; when you tell a man how you feel and he gets that bewildered look on his face - try breaking it down into simpler terms... but varying degrees of those terms. Perhaps the communication would increase exponentially.

Thanks for the insight. I'll definatly try to keep that in mind.

On the other hand...I'm curious to know what would make some guys good listeners and easy to talk to and some who blow you off and act like your concerns are nothing compared to theirs. *grumble*
