as woman we are not afraid to express our emotions, we just bust into tear whenever we feel like and we don`t suppress everything inside. we are free to speak our minds and by doing so it makes us stronger than men because we know who we are. any suggestion.

A really good question , the main reason I think has already been given to you here by many others, upbringing. (Big boys don't cry etc)
But there are exceptions to the rule, I have always been classed as 'hard hearted' and I show very little sentiment in fact I hardly ever do 'sentiment' at all .
I have a friend (Hungarian as it happens) who is the 'hardest ' man I have ever met, afraid of no one and revels in a good punch up.
I once saw him cry over some daft gypsy music, I couldn't believe my eyes, I actually cringed at the sight!
I told him it was pathetic! he immediately offered to "punch my lights out" along with any three mates I may wish to bring along to help me !!
I thanked him for the offer but declined!.
So the moral of my story is that not showing feelings isn't really a sign of masculinity it's just as others have said upbringing!
Women are expected to burst into tears every five minutes we are not!

Actually, you have just partly answered your question. Im refering to, "as woman...not afraid to express our emotions,... burst into tears...".Otherwise, when under a difficult situation and the guys would also cry, then there would be no one to think rationally. No one to solve the problem.
The other possible answer is that because soceity dictates that men should not react like girls do. Don't say anything about, "Why are they so bothered about what others say", because girls are always bothered of what others say either. Both sexes are guilty of that.

Thanks a lot dear friend. The very first thing I want you to know and accept is that, over 90% of men (I mean real men) are never afraid to express their emotion, even though, some may ended doing it in a curly manner. In a situation wherein you see a man that's really himself, not the type that his living is dependent on a woman, whatever be the situation, he will always state himself clear. In the manner where it seems to you that men are afraid to express their emotions, there are some men that cares a lot for their woman (just like myself,.... sorry to say this). Based on this, they handle their woman like their first daughter that they must train with good manner and with all care, yet, they won't like her to be spoilt. As regarding this, they what to do, to be frank. But at the same time, they won't like her to be hurt (in case of those that really want peace in their home). "Behind every successful man, there must be a woman", says a favourite African musician. Imaging you talking to, or trying to advice your daughter, despite the fact that you have full control over her, being parent, you know that you'll embrace her within your arms, she being pulled closer to you when you are talking. All these that you are doing, does it mean that you are afraid of speaking to her? I am very sure - CAPITAL NO. You are only showing that you care for her as your heart. Is this enough, dear friend...?
Let me see if this satisfy your question.
Thanks James Ladson

How old are you? You must be very young to have to ask such a question. Most males are conditioned from infancy by being told things like, 'Big boys don't cry', 'Only girls cry'.
(A bit like females being brainwashed by their parents, telling them they are the most beautiful thing on the planet).
A male showing emotions is considered showing a weakness, in the boardroom, on the sports-field.
Most societies/tribes frown on men showing emotions.
Read the book 'Men' by Anna Ford or any book on Human Behaviour and the book 'Nice Guys Don't Get Laid' by Marcus P. Meleton Jr.
You'll be enlightened.
And yes, females are free to express their emotions. Consider yourself lucky.
For some reason it's usually women who want to see a man cry?

how can you be stronger by giving in to every emmotion you have. Men have the same argument - why are women always emotional, we don't cry and speak our minds on everything so that makes us stronger because we don't need others approval or for others to know how we feel. The majority of men are not emotional people because it is not in their nature, they are not bred to be like that and they are not instinctually like that. Personally it annoys the life out of me to discuss everything we feel or think - just get on with it sometimes and don't make a drama out of evrything. Life is hard, crying and complaining and moaning isn't going to change that.

Because we are taught from an early age (by our mothers) not to be so "girly" or "a pansy" by crying... We are told to be "brave little soldiers"... We are told that showing emotion is a sign of great weakness...
This is very confusing, cos we grow up with these things forced into us, and have to deal with the women we date wanting to know why we are so unemotional... So, some people become very angry about it...
Personally, I pretended to listen, but rebelled... I have no problem expressing emotions...

Men are more terrified of getting hurt than women, if they don't show their emotions then they can stay a step ahead and control the situation so they don't get emotional attached but it rarely works,that is why it is sometimes hard to get close to them ,their fear of rejection makes them seem uncaring ,not true,they are far more emtional and as a result hide behind the wall they have built for themselves

you said it girl! Men are afraid because they don't want to look like totall prats in front of their friends. They probably don't show their emotions in front of their girlfriends either because they don't want to look weak in front of them and they don't want to make the girl feel stronger emotionally.
I think all men are emotional really, when they cannot hold it in no more, they normally end up in the madhouse. They shouldn't have kept it in in the first place it's unhealthy. We live in a machoistic world where men have all the braun and women have all the brains and common sense. Men are afraid of women really because they know we are smarter.

I don't think men show less emotion than women....they just aren't so dramatic about it. Men say what they feel and move on. Women tend to internalize more and then verbalize more. Men and women are just different - doesn't mean either is stronger than the other.

Garbage! I'm sure men speak their minds every bit as much as women do.
I think men are more comfortable with their emotions than women and, thus, aren't in a constant state of emotional turmoil as many women seem to be.
Obviously, I'm talking bollocks. Interesting counter-argument though...?
