well, first off, there is no such word as "emotionaler." i think you meant "more emotional."

yes, women as a whole tend to be more emotional. it could have something to do with the different hormones present in women. but i think it mainly has to do with cultural expectations. it is allowed for women to be emotional, but men are expected to be tough.

men also tend to like to sweep problems under the rug until they get really bad and they explode in their face. women want to fix it, even if it's only a very small thing, right away. so that could be why we perceive women to be more emotional, because they take smaller things more seriously and want to get it over with, while men avoid it for a while.

but i guess in a sense both sexes are emotional, we just tend to show them in different ways. women are typically expected to get sad and cry. if a man cried all the time people would say he was a baby. but men often express their emotions through anger. if a woman expresses herself through anger like men do, punching walls and picking fights with people, she would be probably considered a "psycho b*tch."

Are men more badder spellerers than women?

By the way, men express emotions just as much as women do, but not always in the same way. Social and cultural pressures have taught men and women to feel certain ways about expressing their emotions, and what kinds of emotions can be shown publicly, but that doesn't mean that one is more or less emotional than the other.

Go watch men at sporting events. Or see how easy it is to get a strange man angry at you as opposed to a woman (though watch out for flying fists because men are statistically far more likely to resort to violence as a means of expressing their anger and resolving conflicts).

Women aren't more emotional than men but they are generally more open with their emotions.

Women are allowed, even expected by society to 'feel things more'. That's why women generally cry more often, generally get together and talk about their feelings, et cetera. Men feel the same things but usually don't have the same open forum that women do. Men will repress their feelings and are more likely to let it out by substance abuse, spousal abuse, violence, and depression among other things.

Yes far more. Because they are programmed genetically to raise children...that when little they need a lot of love how do you say...and care to assure a smooth adaptation to the harsh real world. The man does not need that because he is genetically programmed just to hunt and reproduce. The only feeling that man have is that of making a safe life for his family, that is what it cares the most. Many cultural changes have been made but the principles are the same...and it is hard to distinct loving care from protection care. Man wants something to protect...the woman wants something to raise.

No, they're not, but today's Western society doesn't allow the male the right to express their emotions, while women can. That's why women live longer, and are generally more healthy than men.

I don't think so but women do express their emotions alot more outwardly..
Men tend to surpress their emotions while women express them in various ways..I believe it is influenced by society in some ways as well..

men just have this mental block tht they think they are strong and more superior and tht they shouldnt show their emotions in front of everyone or they wuld be called a sisi . so men and women are equally emotional.

Dont thinks so.... It depends on the individual but averagely they are more emotional than men but they have greater endurance because they let their feelings out by crying etc whereas men do not and so will be more likely to get depressed...
