They say that Women are More Sentimental/Emotional Than Men
Is this type of stereotyping justified and why do we think this?Seems that we form this belief because women are more likely to show or express their emotions than men.
Dates are a huge sentimental issue for most/some women too, eg. anniversaries, important dates,birthdays and even little pieces of scrap paper with scribbles made by her kiddies a few decades ago.
Not sure if most men really use something called 'emotional expression suppression' or is it just more convenient to put it aside?
Why are some/most men the complete opposite in this phenomenon, not remembering, not being sad on certain 'important dates etc. Just plain forgetfulness?
Guys like me are constantly in deep water due to a lack of so called sentiment...
Personally speaking, I have my own set of values which might differ to most.

I will not think any less of you.
Thanks for the memo.
I had lost in the storage fire,
keepsakes of value.
You seem like a very understanding person with lots of empathy. But what happens when the sentimental Lafonda kicks in? Do you come out with blazing guns or still a passive shoulder offering? Its just a fact many women are sometimes controlled by their emotions. I could be wrong though. :laugh
And your cheque is in the post.

Luke, I am an understanding woman with empathy (my university studies helped).
I am not like MOST women. I'm not emotional.
As stated before, you can cry on my shoulders and the best part is that will be our secret.
I think you know that I'm out spoken and tell it like it is, but those spoken words are kept between the people involve. That's the way it should be.
Have a great cry my friend and feel better tomorrow.
Wow you certainly sound like 'Simply the best ' and with that said, no email or banking details were exchanged...
Hope you have a great day there.
But angry is like a man. The angry man. A man angry is looking to win a fight in no way is the anger an attempt to curry favour with the person you're angry at. It drives the force of your punch way beyond the normal like when Biff got knocked out at the end of Back To The Future. It's an appeal to yourself.
That depends on the emotion.
Totally agreed.
The level of emotion differs a huge amount lets say between the unexpected loss of partner and the level displayed when the baby takes her first steps.
I do get what you are saying.
Night reconnaissance and sniper tactic.
There is no top, only valor.

It's pro bono. You don't have enough to bother with banking details.
Those words are sooo true.
Big favor please.
Please spread the word.
That reply was to Chesney's lone wolf theory:
"Anger plays a role in reaching the top. Tyrants can get angry it's all part and parcel with saying I don't need no friends. You could be very much mistaken"
Followed up with his crying wolf theory.
Discretion is the better part of valor.
You should let the man deal the best way/any way that he chooses to deal with his emotions. Maybe thats only one way he deals with them, only he will know right?
Live and let live.
It applies...wolf!
One hundred percent correct, it is totally about women and their emotions. Apologies, iI actually thought that you were answering Chesney's comment......But I do agree with whatever you say too.
Yes it's a kind of mixed up stereotype pot of soup when I think of it. Your words put it in the right context so its more comprehendible (not sure if thats the right word) to me.
Thanks O.
Can't but wonder if Orzzz is right with her assessment of your situation.
Thought Orzzz 's statement: Maybe that is why men turn to booze and end up divorced, had bearing on your situation.
Seems I was mistaken.
