'Women and Emotions'

Loopy from The Big D (Contact Member) -

Why are women so much more emotional than men? Sometimes I get so mad at my husband for having no emotions about some things. I also get upset that I get so emotional about everything. It also bugs me that he can just go to sleep at night and be out in less than 5 minutes. My thoughts don't stop so I lay there for 30 minutes to an hour before falling asleep.

I wish that men could just be in our shoes for one day. They might understand what goes through our minds. I am the same way - it takes me forever to get to sleep because I go over everything that maybe I forgot to do for the day or things I need to take care of for the next day. My husband's head will hit the pillow and he's out for the night.

I agree! It seems that the men want us to be housewives and help bring home the bacon. Sometimes I feel so stressed that any little thing will may me cry. Sometimes we just don't feel appreciated.

Women are designed to be emotional and men are designed to be more intellectual and at the same time heartless, with these situation, we as their wives can guide our partner with emotion matter. And maybe its too much hormones on women makes us too emotional at times.

I'm pretty much emotional at all times. I think my boyfriend just has that effect on me. I think I need to see a shrink.

Hi Loopy from the Big D,

The formation of men and women are different so it is to be expected that they are different in so many aspects.

Here is a very simple answer. Men have testosterone and women have estrogen.

The testosterone makes men uncaring and more laid back.

The estrogen makes women all tense and unpredictable.

Men and women are "wired" differently. Women come out of the Electra triangle (Edipus complex), deeply wounded by the supremacy of their mothers vis a vis their fathers. Women are forever worried that they will not be at the same intellectual level as the men in their lives: partners, fathers, brothers, bosses, etc. Not to speak of theirt " envy", the fact that women always have the unconscious suspicion that they had a but that at some point it was cut off. After that they spend their lives looking for one. They feel weak, and therefore have to appear stronger before men. The best weapon they have with men is sex: the fact that they are the providers of sex gives them a preeminence versus the other sex. They are the "givers" and the men are the beggars. Men are from Mars and women are from Venus. Nothing is more true. By the way, the stuff mentioned above is all in the cience of psychoanalisis. Cheers!

Stan, that seems like a fairy tale. The fact of the matter is, yes men get emotional most of the time, but will not show it. Guess what, that kind of balance is what makes life what it is.

Imagine if men had the same type of reactions, mannerisms and patterns of life as women. Then, life would be full of trouble. What highlights these differences is a lack of understanding from both parties.

Well, I suppose that emotional balance is really important. Try for a second to imagine what sort of life we would have if men were emotional as well...it would not be livable at all.

As Bella puts it, that is way things were always meant to be and that is why it is common to hear comments like, 'how could be so heartless' in the event of a break up.

Yes, men are sometimes uncaring, they are more often rude. They don't care on what you are going to feel, but let us not generalized the fact.

I think they are designed that way to have the balance as the other poster said. Imaging if men and women are both emotional. What will happen to them if both of them cry over something. I think that is so out control.

You want emotional men? Then have a "gay" or homosexual as a husband then you'll be getting an emotional partner. The only problem is that you have the same preference... Men! hahaha

Why ask such silly questions. Of course everyone is different from each other. Even women are not all that emotional. And not all men are insensitive and numb you know. You see I am crying while typing this. Hahahaha

That is so true Gene, there are many people that vary in personality, matters not their gender or what have you.

It is shown in clinical and scientific testing that the side of that women and men use different sides of their brains more. Men don't really use the side of the brain with the emotions involved they are more involved in mechanics and that's another part of the brain. It's not their fault it's just the way they are made up.

hmmmmm.. I have to disagree on that, I think men are also emotional, and that they are not that type who would show everyone that they are crying and that they are sad. And as their partner, we should be the ones to know if they are upset or not and not just try to mess up with them by our so called emotions. Have a great day people. Thanks.
