It is considered common knowledge that guys are not as emotional as girls. This I would have to say is for the most part very true. When I say true, I mean it in outward appearance atleast. When girls like a guy, and then their dreams of him are stomped on, they tend to make it pretty obvious that they are upset. On the other hand, if a guy is in the same situation as the girl was in, with his hopes of being with a girl that he has been crushing on completely shattered, what is their response? Well, half the time, I honestly do not know, since they express no different emotion then they do from day to day.
So this really brings us to an interesting thought: Are guys truly just less emotional than girls? I mean, if they show less emotion, you would think that would also mean less emotion. Or is there really more behind this? Could they possibly have the same capacity for emotion and simply be choosing not to express it? And would this refusal of expression be a cause of what is considered normal in society? Maybe by showing more emotion, men fear they might not be considered straight. Or maybe it is not the fear of a gay accusation, but more so to show to the world that they are strong, and composed men. They just want everyone to think they have it together, and not even the tough things can get them down. Then again maybe it is that simple solution, of guys simply just not having as abig of an emotional range as girls do. So what is it, less emotional, or hidden feelings?
