So I think originally yeah it wasn't just expected of men for no reason, but expected of men because others depended on them to be tough

But those lessons get forgotten over time as they're taken for granted

well..who wants to have fee fees talk, am I right bois

Think of it as similar to learning styles. Some people learn sequentially, others by grouping. We teach as if everyone is a sequential learner because it's easier for grouping learners to adapt to sequential teaching styles. We've just been treating emotional recovery the same way, but it's causing issues because the two ways don't have the same way where we can ignore one.

I honestly wish I could be like that sometimes lol

Yeah I think most guys really just don't want to talk about feelings to the same extent as most girls do, but how much of that is nature vs nurture is hard to say

As far as I can remember, Male's are less prone to emotions

Men tend to bottle more, which also means exploding more

I think men might be more prone to emotions

or maybe not more, but more violently

But learn to become numb to them because they can take control

Not prone to less, just expressing it less often in a way interpreted as emotional

Ultimately though, bottling and channeling are an individual response.

It's seems to be almost entirely common amongst men

I've seen very few women like that

When there is the rare guy who doesn't act that way though his school mates will make sure he learns or he won't ever fit in

so it's definitely not purely nature as far as I can tell

Could have to do with men could be dangerous when anger takes control

It's not purely nature, sure

But it seems common even among animals

Personally I started containing my emotions when I once became enraged and lost control of my body

The bulls of most species engage in dueling, fighting, conditioning each other to get strong or get lost

Think of it this way: Who do you expect to meet your emotional needs?

I'd put it this way, women are more empathetic, men are more compassionate

it's because of this difference that men interact with their friends so differently than women. When men make fun of each other they're usually friends. Women seem to have that sort of humor much less often which I've seen lead to some women thinking someone is being mean when they're trying to be friendly

Dude, yeah

It's why I like hanging around with guys more

They very rarely take offense

Now if you were talking to girls

Depends on the kind of girl.

But i think i actually agree with that sentiment

absolutely

sure does

I actually had that problem when i was younger

And call anyone "stupid". It's going to be gossip for months

Feeling like i was being bullied or made fun of at my expense

When a guy was actually just trying to be friendly

It's not be case with every girl, obviously

I've known some guys who had the same experience because they had no father or brother, so they didn't understand people were joking in good nature with them

Oh yes

My dad would make fun of me all the time
