no, but i think most women are more EXPRESSIVE than men. that means, women are more comfortable expressing their feelings. we cry in public, gush over a cute baby, and generally express our every fleeting feeling to anyone. i think men experience as many emotions as women, but our society has trained them that it is inappropriate to express these. can you imagine if a man cried at work because the boss was upset with him? if i see a man crying at work, i assume you just got news about a death in the family. i've had this happen at work, and still didn't see the man cry. usually, he went home, to the bathroom, or held it in. women at work, on the other hand, cry over any damn thing. why? because society has taught women that it is ok to express all of our emotions in public.

Well it is all in the balance of things, if i did answer yes then would that mean that all women are indeed more emotional than man? Or that men totally not?
I believe that in truth we are all somewhat emotional but some of us have mastered the skill of hiding it better than others, now to say that women are more emotional would not be right in my view as much as we are possibly more inclined to demonstrate our emotions more freely than men. Wouldn't that just be because of the way society has pre-programmed us to be ?

No, and there have been many scientific studies to show that it's just a prejudice (especially delivered by men to explain why women are "illogical" and other negative things)
Just consider statistics for such highly emotional things as murder out of rage, more than 90% of them committed by men.
But in everyday life, men are trained from childhood to not show their emotions while for girls it is acceptable.

Women tend to show softer emotions more freely, because they've been conditioned to belive it's o.k. Some men are so detached from the softer emotions that they become numb to them. The only emotions they can feel are anger, jealousy, etc.
It's not healthy.

-Unless you're not breathing, you're going to feel emotions.
-Women are encouraged to cry, men to rage.
-Some women don't cry much, some men aren't angry much.
-I think both men and women are emotional. It's just socially acceptable for men to be angry, and women to cry. It doesn't mean either one is more emotional than the other, they are just encouraged to express it differently.

I'm actually more emotional than most women I know, I just learned to hide it. For the most part yes, but there special cases such as myself.

No. We are just as emotional as women. But all of our emotions are bad, so better off not being expressed.

Nope, women and men are emotional beings, they just have a different way of expressing it. This doesn't mean women are more emotional, just more vocal about it.

I believe women in general are more emotional. And while men have emotions as well we tend to subdue our emotions so we can operate in times of high emotion. As we are expected to. It is just the way we are. And the fact that women are more emotional is what makes men want to protect them and fix their problems.
