One Man's Perspective

Men have just as many feelings as women , although we rarely share them. This derives from what the wise Mr. Hill once said about how men and women handle problems differently. He cautioned that often when women talk about problems they are simply venting, and they do not want the problem to be solved. On the other hand, men want to fix problems. They talk for the purpose of a goal, so men won’t talk about their feelings unless doing so to address a serious issue that needs to be solved.

We might hardly ever share these feelings with women, but women should make sure to understand that it is very important when we do share them. If a woman says that her feelings have been hurt, this could mean anything from a misinterpreted comment about her clothes to an actual relationship problem while for the guys it is far more likely to be the latter. In order for a man to talk about his feelings, there must be a legitimate problem that needs to be addressed.

Ladies, the point of this is not to make you change how you act towards the fellas. They are not going to want to talk about their feelings with you unless they’re ready, so don’t use the fact that they have emotions as an excuse to pry them out. The point of this was to give some background information, so the next time you think that a man doesn't care as much because he doesn't react as much try to remember that boys will be boys. Please note that this is not saying that females never have anything important to say.
