Make my day
Hey its been a bit slow here on the blogs so I thought I would liven things up a bit. I know what you're thinking , oh God what are we in for?Well first of all I would like to say that I have been sitting back observing and reading some pretty interesting thoughts. feelings and ideas. I have noticed a few things during this time. One a lot of guys really do have feelings and NO they are not all in their pants ladies.
Now, with that being said, I think that we the sexes view things quite differently and yet do we not both hurt? Do we not feel pain? and do we not both cry sometimes.....ok men usually do not break down and do it in public places and they don't get all choked up over a card and stuff like that but they do have feelings so lets acknowledge that and keep it in mind.

Lot of my male friends have told me that they hate it when a woman asks 'What are you thinking?'
Women find this a natural question because women tend to go quiet when they feel hurt or lied to.
If a man is quiet, a women may assume his silence indicates that he is upset.
Men, on the other hand, stop communicating when they have a problem to solve
generally i have seen all men take there time and tell you all there problems if you just listen...carefully ...
I cant even open my mouth near my parents:P
bad manners?
I recently had a texting conversation with a guy....almost 2hrs about divorce. I haven't experienced divorce before though. But I haven't really seen it through guys pov b4....just through a womans pov.
Just like woman...men feel pain & hurt...they just may express it in their own way just like us woman express ourselves.

Delayed response...I see it now and I get it in a way so I have learned to back off when a man gets quiet.

Frank,
Where do you come up with this stuff?
zweet,
Very true. We women often translate they way men react to emotion as "he must not care' but really he is just getting quiet because this is how he deals with it....when he is ready he will share in his way.
steve,

sweet,
upbringing plays a big role in how we react to our emotions ....good point.
african,
Wow- you do bring up some challenging and interesting but great points.
In response I'd like to say that I think that men in general when they are scared , feel vulnerable or threatened in any way at an attempt to protect themselves seem to become "numb" , tend to close up and shut down emotionally and we women see this as "uncaring" because we tend to do the complete opposite of that where we open up and verbalize what we are feeling which is the healthier approach in a relationship but then again we are the nurturers so since this comes naturally to us perhaps we are meant to help them share this part of themselves.
Thanks, for the kind words too.
