Big boys don’t cry. Not!

Who chokes up at sad movies? Who gets so swept away by excitement that they hug complete strangers? Who falls apart when a relationship ends? The surprising answer: men. Granted the film is about sports, the exuberance explodes in stadium and the break-up may be their idea.

Surprising ey?

Real fact about men.

‘Women talk to clear their heads, but men think before they talk,’ says psychiatrist Mark Goulston. “If they didn’t, they’d risk saying something stupid and being humiliated, or offending other man and getting beaten up. They are much safer not saying anything.”

What lurks behind a man’s silent, stoic mask? Vulnerability. Most men experts agree, are far more insecure than they like to admit, or their wives ever guess. “Inside every man is a secret fear that he lacks competence and courage, that he’s not as manly as he should be,” says Goulston. “A man knows he is supposed to take a bullet for his family. A man knows he is supposed to fix whatever gets broken. When he’s feeling powerless, he shuts down and withdraws.”
Some men have dared to let their softer side show, but many men remain confuse about how they can dare to share. “In one breath, a woman says she wants us to be emotionally open,” says Westover, who is divorced. “In the next, she wants us to be her rock.” Women are asking us to perform these incredible emotional gymnastics and mess with out heads. Men don’t have a road map or a role model to show us how to be both emotional and strong.”

Be considerate to guys k, girls? Oh, btw this is my first post in azngeek.com. It’s an honour, hopefully this would be a solace i can turn to just like how it worked out for the azngeek himself.
