Here is the thing:
Men will tell you something, and it is true until further notice.
If I tell you that a table has 4 legs, that table will continue to have four legs unless one of them brakes or the table get stole or something.
This is the main mentality of most men.
However there are some that actually excersize empathy and think about what their significant other might be thinking... and it's natural for them to like to hear a daily statis report. They like to get a daily list of the amount of legs on the table just to make sure everything is the way it was before.

Maybe they weren't constipated until you showed up. Maybe you are like a big hunk of cheese and you cause emotional constipation. Maybe I am a male and I am just being emotionally constipated right now and i don't even know it because, well, I'm mentally constipated. Can you be emotionally and mentally constipated, but not physically constipated. What would happen if you were emotionally, mentally, and physically constipated? Would you achieve the opposite of enlightenment? What is the opposite of enlightenment? Is it enheavyment? I mean constipation could be considered enheavyment, right? So how do you happen to always find the constipated ones? Look at that, we came up with the same question. Sorry, I guess I can't help you.

I tried not to say this but can's help it... Why do some women (and people in general) have emotional diarrhea? Seriously, if you can say with such certainty that he cares about you, he must be communicating it to you in some form or fashion. Yes, a lot of men do have a problem talking about how they feel. When you wait to have these conversations it can be worse for the guys; they feel like they have to make some kind of commitment during the talk. If it's that important to you, talk to him about it. Let him know why it is important to you.

Well, men are not emotionally expressive as women! So will not go far as to say they're emotionally constipated, but they're just built differently! Accept that, and you can have a great relationship.

LOL. that's funny. I have never heard of that term "emotionally constipated". We're from different planets. Many men, find it weak to demonstrate and talk about their feelings. It's a macho thing.

The biggest reason is that women reject men who are
emotionally available.
Women want men to be emotionally available when
and ONLY when they want it. When a guy cries
and a gal isn't ready for it, then the guy ends up
being rejected in a way that woman rarely are.

A lot of men are raised to hold back their emotions. Supposedly it's "manly". That's just the way our society works...men that show emotion are seen as feminine. My bf is very "manly" but he is not afraid to show his emotions at all, and that is pretty cool.

Not for nothing but in reference to Alpha_troll emotional trainwreck comment --- maybe those trainwrecks can be avoided sometimes if men took something for that emotional constipation lol

Absolutely nothing. Men aren't that emotionally tuned, if you get frustrated in not knowing ask him when you are alone. Most hide their feelings, some hide the truth, way things are my love.

We're men...we can't help it in the majority of cases. We are wired differently from women.
I tend to internalize my problems and find it difficult to speak with some people about them. Men are like that.
