What makes a man sad? (97)
almera03: It doesn't matter if they are with a woman or not, they feel they have to prove they are a man...........to be a man
Correct,,
But understand this,, they do not realize that they are acting, proving,, competing etc. If and when they take an honest look at themselves, the act will gradually disappear.------ This thread is Archived ------

To them though its not an act, a way of life passed down from generation to generation......If women wants to find a man who wont cheat, look at the size of his ego.....

venusenvy: I think its different for each individual
right! that's what I was getting at - men & women may or may not display their emotions the same way, but I think we are all the same in out "humaness" and the same kinds of things will make us sad...
the differences between individuals don't depend on whether the person is a man or a woman

2intrigued: Yeah, what you're saying about the walking on eggshells part is so true and not the best way to live if it's constant.
I agree - it is usually a sign of something deeper if it lasts long - he is putting distance between the two of you, for some reason, with the silent treatment.
but if the "walking on eggshells" thing goes on for more than a day or 2 - it could mean a deeper problem
With men I think it is often the first sign that he has met someone else (especially if there is not another obvious reason like a job loss or a death in the family)... Sometimes it just means gimme a little space, tho

LonelyMontse08: ohhh thats the part I hate also, in this case he is only my friend my feelings to him are simply friendship but I am talking about over 20 years of moments shared, so very special friend to me and I feel I m walking on glass, feels ugly but only he knows what is going through right now and i just have to be there for him, maybe it is what Almera says he doesnt know how to tell me or ask for my help it could be.
If I could be granted a wish this would be: that people could express with out trouble how wonderful that would be.

Nothing can be done to soothe anothers pain. The bottom line for the one hurting if that’s even the case is the known fact that a hand was extended and is most likely appreciated. But the choice for you now is whether or not 20 years means something to you. It’s not about him anymore but your own expectations of the dynamics exibited between the two of you. I would look within myself and ask what messeges you’ve sent out to your dear friend that may have caused him to begin the construction process of building a wall or the setting of a boundary instead of your own perception that it is his fault because he is apparently sad as you claim. I mean how do you know what’s really going on if you two can’t or won’t discuss it. A woman’s intution lol…

thank you for considering my question
They don't realize that they are this act, yes a way of life. Yes they especially act out among other men, men bring out the underlying fear. Their act is always there though,
among men or women.
