I felt way outgunned by the women in an intimacy thread. My question is are men capable of reaching the same levels of emotion as women?
Lets face it. Since children boys are made fun of by their peers for crying or looking weak. Can we now cast that aside and match the women? Or even should we?

Yes I think there is actualy some men out there who can reach the same level of emotions as us women do. Not as many as women though. But there are few out there who are the same. Heck I had even met a few that was worse than a woman lol So yes it is possible.

although i am not considered to be highly emotional:

i think most of us would just be happy if you guys would

try to understand that alot of us can be emotional at times

and it is not a bad thing to have feelings.

it seems that men are only allowed to have 3 emotions..

sadness, anger or happiness.

i would love to be able to understand this myself ??

great post.. tx

Definately they are. I believe men just cover their emotions better than women do.

..as I understand it and as to how it was explained to me...NO...men and women cannot achieve the same level of emotions...

Well sticks, you asked me to come and look, so I did. We are not at the gun club, lol, it's a forum. Don't be shy of women who speak to what they like and don't dislike in here, LOL. If you are more comfortable with the same topic, in your own thread, so be it.....

Men are capable of that level of deep intimacy. It has nothing to do with crying or weakness. Far from it. It takes two, together, to reach that level, that I mentioned in my OP. It does not make a man any less of a man, only more.

We're not talking about intimacy now Jane, we're talking emotions. Obviously the two are linked, but how emotional would you want your man? Do you think he should 'come out' with what he's basically suppressed most of his life or should he keep it bottled up?

I am not sure if this is emotions, but I think with more humour vs less control, could be more fun.

I think both have to brush up on courtesy too.

What I miss from men is talking about anything and everything out there...if one is dating, there is a reason to be with that person and it is easy to find out what there likes and dislikes are.

Feelings have to be learnt, to express, I had to learn.
The answer, is yes, everything is possible with practice.

I would like a man that is able to show true emotions but would not expect that to happen in casual or dating situations. When intimate with someone, emotions and feelings are true, honest and natural. It's not too often when a man or woman will readily show or express emotions of real fear or sadness to people they are not close too. Some can and do, I am sure it does happen. In general, human's guard their feeling's and emotions when it comes to matter's of the heart, to protect against getting hurt, until/unless you are able to share the real meaning of them, with someone you are close/intimate with.

I could be wrong, but I tie the two together. While I would want a partner to share feelings and emotions, I certainly do not want a soft and weepy man who cry's at the kleenex commercials with baby kittens, LOL, but is not afraid to show real and honest emotions, to express love, joy, sadness, etc.

Men are like the caramilk secret and crop circle's. I can only say to what I look for and like in a man. grin

I think a guy with a caring heart can be emotional.some who cares about all life not just his own.I believe if a guy gives not to recieve.Then in his heart emotions run wild.Just because we dont show it outside doesn't mean its not there.It just means at the right time you may see a tear......blushing
