Boys are taught to ignore emotions (“are you crying? Man up!”)

But emotions is what connects humans (and animals for that matter) and can’t really be ignored anyway

Join the two… and you get loneliness, frustration, rage.

We should start a conversation on emotional education (not only for boys but especially for boys)

Because nobody wants men to be emotional. When I started opening up is when my marriage started falling apart lol

[–] arin@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah happens even before marriage.

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I ain't ever showing emotions again except to a paid professional lmao.

Most women want someone very emotionally stable

Lol maybe talk to nicer women?

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

It's not a "niceness" thing it's instinctual

I just want to butt in that while the meme is stupid, most women are not awful either.

No of course they aren't. Who said they are?

I'm saying women are put off my emotional instability aka "showing your feelings"

Women aren't a monolith, just as men aren't. There are women who will appreciate your emotional openness, especially if you are able to regulate and communicate those emotions in a healthy way.

Edit to add: my relationship to my husband has only grown deeper as he has learnt to better access and express his emotions. In particular, he is working on accessing emotions other than anger, and this has really helped us grow our connection.

That's so fucking silly

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Why? Women want stability and protection usually

[–] CaptnNMorgan@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What does that have to do with opening up?

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Shows emotional instability

You aren't connecting any kind of dots I can see. Maybe be more specific? Either way, it doesn't seem like you are basing your idea on real life. I've known plenty of women just looking for a nice guy, either you aren't actually putting yourself out there and are believing incel propaganda, OR you have had a few bad experiences that also aren't a representation of reality, just those few individuals.

Edit: grammar
