why guys could control emotions while woman can't?

Answer 1

it's not that guys can control their emotions, they don't know how to show it. there's a big difference.

Answer 2

Well that's a bit of a generalization. I know a number of women who control their emotions quite well & conversely, men who can't. But on the whole I would say that men don't feel the same freedom to express their emotions that women do. It's the way that we're socialized. Girls are allowed to cry. Boys are told to be tough. Men may not want to expose themselves, to appear sensitive & vulnerable. So they have to put on an act. I would hate to be a man! I indulge in my emotions. Whatever they may be! I had one boyfriend who got an ulcer after we broke up. To the world it looked like he didn't care while i was bawling my eyes out. But he ended up in the hospital & failed his exams while I aced my exams & after a good cry was perfectly healthy. I'll never get an ulcer because I don't hold things in.

I wish more men did have the courage to show their emotions. Another difference of course involves hormones. You try being jacked up on estrogen for a while & see how you deal with it! Testosterone is a lot different.

Answer 3

It goes all the way back to childhood. Parents raise their sons with a different set of rules than the rules by which they raise their daughters.

Little girls are expected to be emotional, sensitive and to be honest - fragile. Little boys are expected to be tough, take a hit and come back for more. While sons are taught to protect their sisters, the daughters are encouraged to play with dolls and their maternal instincts are bolstered to the nth degree. If a father is suddenly disabled, he will look to his son and tell the boy it is now his job to take care of the family - to be the man of the house.

Boys have the same emotions and frailties as girls - but are taught to suppress those feelings. A father picks an age at which time he believes the son is getting past the age of crying becuase something didn't go in his favor. A parent will say to a son. "Stop crying and be a man!" but no parent will look to the daughter and say "Stop crying and be a woman!" It is the mindset of the parents that crying is the reserved right of all little girls - all daughters at every age and stage of developement.

Take a good look at the response by Gary F. His words are true and are fully indicative of the real degree of a whole childhood of suppressed emotions being suddenly released in all the wrong places.

Answer 4

Women's brains function differently from men's. More females tend to excel in linguistics and the arts field while more males excel in science and maths.

When women encounter a crisis, their brains trigger off an instant verbal reaction that is often misinterpreted as an emotional outburst. In reality, the females' emotional outbursts are often brainstorming sessions to help them cope with their problems.

And because men's brains function differently from women's, they tend to be more systematic in their problem solving approach. Instead of verbalising their doubts, fears and anxieties like women, they work towards a solution. Perhaps, they channel all their thinking and emotional resources into solving a crisis, therefore it impairs them from exhibiting any emotions.

Answer 5

Women are generally more emotional. This difference between men and women are what makes us good partners in life. Women are generally more emotional and nurturing. Men have other strengths that women don't. That's why both sexes exist to work together.

Answer 6

This is nothing than male chauvinism where being emotional is equated with feamale weaknesses. Not that the men are not moved but they feel it it rather sissy to show it up. In the end it is the males that suffer because emotions are for expression. Any attempt to suppress them leads their finding an alternative route to come out--usually peevishness, depression. My doctor friend says that he has more cases of male depression than female.There is nothing awkward to cry when you are touched. You are being true to yourself. However, the social sanctions are such that even laughing is considered as a weakness of male character. Even women are expected not to laugh just smile. We are providing good practice to the psychologists and good customs to psychotropic medicines.

Answer 9

I remember as a little boy my mom once told me the reason women show more emotion than men is because they see the world as it truly is.

Answer 10

Simple. Hormones.

Women's bodies are in charge of nurturing and housing a living organism. This is a very delicate and complex system and process. They have way more hormonal changes than men do.

This is why the mood swings and loss of control.

The bigger question is. Who are we really, our hormones? How much do our hormones control who we really are?

Answer 11

I would you suggest that you take a look at how many men are in prison for violent crimes, before all you guys pat yourselves on the back for emotional stability.
