Personally, I like a man to show emotion whether it is through hard times or not. I don't think this is weakness I think it is human. To me anyone that stuffs their emotions needs to take a look at how that affects their relationships all around. Not just the one with their significant other. No matter the gender, stuffing your feelings will create problems of resentment and a lot of unresolved anger.. not a good thing.

Well personally I think it's fine. I see it more as a strength really, although I think both genders should sometimes refrain from anger, moderate is fine, but no explosions from anyone unless truly deserved. I wouldn't want to be around some cold, emotionless robot, I see the incapability of emotion in either gender and unfortunate weakness, what are we without love and laughter and compassion?

It depends on how those emotions are manifested and what the situation is. If the guy is just a bag of water because he can't get over himself and feels that all times are hard times, yes, I think that's weak and that goes for women too.

Most women will have limits as to how much attraction they can maintain with a guy going through a drawn-out hard time. Women don't like to admit it, but they're very specific about the kinds of emotions they actually want a man to show.

No, not at all. In fact i think not showing your emotions is a sign of weakness, cos a lot of men are too afraid to show emotions.

As long as the emotions shown are reasonable, yes its ok. Anyone who cries for 3 months straight over a fish dying for example, male of female, has emotional issues...

No, in fact if a guy/gal can't open up then it builds up a wall between people in a relationship. No emotional intimacy will lead to the destruction of a relationship.

I think it's a sign of weakness not to. Then again, there is a time to and not a time to.

No. When my uncle died, my Dad, who I thought of as the man of steel, cried. Men don't show emotions as easily as women do, but they have feelings.

My ex certainly did. I won't bore you with details, but if she and her so-called mother are remotely representative of American women, America is nobbled...
If I showed any emotion, aside from positives one for her (i.e. to defend her when she expected it, etc.) were a sign of weakness - that was stated directly so no room for misinterpretation.
eta: shelob - you think men are extremely angry? you word it as if anger is our only emotion ... not cool
