Guys and Emotion

[James]

I am not sure women are better precisely, but y'all tend to verbalize more.

Guys aren't really conditioned to show affection in the way women are. Thats an important distinction, we express it differently. Go watch a guy's guy movie and the way men bond with men is very different than the way women bond with women right?

But the way you verbalize with men, is mostly the same way you verbalize with your girlfriends isn't it? you talk about your day, what happened, how you felt about it all etc.

Well the same thing with guys, we mostly verbalize the same way we would with our guy friends, we don't talk as much about details, or feelings whether they are good or bad, and we tend to leave a lot of stuff unsaid.

Its just a different strategy. Keep in mind I am generalizing.

There are guys that verbalize very well, and girls that don't.

If it bothers you, find a guy that verbalizes, you are unlikely to make your boy start doing it. And you might be very unhappy if its something that you need.

Are most guys like this? Why is that women are (on the whole) better at expressing emotions than guys?
