I’ve read posts like this before but men still don’t feel comfortable or do not want to express themselves imo although I seem to meet many who feel comfortable crying w/o coming across as whining. I wish more would because some women have to read their minds just like they think we make them read ours.

so i have been reading this blog for a hot minute and i rarely comment…but this one made me…

Men are critiziced an sscutinized for releasing emotions and feelings…they forced on some level to hde how they truly feel because people are so quick to call them weak for doing so…It builds uneccessary walls in life and in relationships…men would open up more….and stop thinking that it a weakness…and ralize that being in touch with how you really feel builds strength and character…

Good advice. All men could use a lesson in openong their heart up to the woman they love. It only benefits the relationship. I believe my husband is open @ times and then he isn’t and that bothers me. If you can’t be open and honest and vulnerable with your spouse than who can you be that way with? (WORDS FROM MS.

I wish guys WOULD be more expressive… it’d probably save both parties from a lot of arguments, misunderstings, and sorrow. relationships would be so much easier…

i agree wholeheartedly with with GoldenFox. courting is necessary and sufficient. a relationship of a sexual nature that does not render itself effortlessly to the comfort that comes with friendship fails to offer one of the essential ingredients vital to a life long pairing. being friends first has the advantage that open pretentiousness is not even an option.

Funny…..I think men get scrutinized for expressing themselves.

I know I do.

Good Afternoon All – Here’s my opinion

A man that can and is willing to express his feelings to me is sexy on every level.

This is why courting is so very important when two people meet.
A mutual understanding, a mutual comfortableness, a mutual friendship and a muatual trust between each other are four coinciding levels of courting that must be achieved no matter what. This is what will make or brake the pending relationship (because you can’t have one withou the other).
A man wants a woman that he can obtain all of the above with because it is the foundation of everything they’re building together. But he also needs this woman to surround him and occasionally be his sheild during those times of his expression. It is only with this woman that he knows he’ll recieve unconditional understanding and comfort from a trusting friendship without judgement, just as he does for her.

I hope this helps.

I cosign on this piece 100%. As men, its hard to find the balance between expressing yourself and being labeled a bitch.
