Yeah because we drilled into us to be stoic and not show emotion. Cause when we do we are judged. It’s a lose lose situation

I’ve held several sobbing guys in my arms before at different points in my life. Judging a struggling/grieving person is actually disgusting

Testosterone makes it physically harder to cry, ask anyone who’s transitioned and started taking T. The threshold for what triggers crying often raises, so a lot of guys are physically unable to (aside from extreme situations). There’s a social aspect too but T definitely plays a huge role.

what’s more is that often times they’ll regret to say their emotional and just be angry. love when a man is acting up and i ask them “why are you so emotional?” shut em up real quick

There’s emotionally intelligent women that don’t get icked by a man being human! You gotta only date this kind of woman if you can find them in your area

True, but it’s not just that. Testosterone makes it physically harder to cry, even if you want to.
