I’m more used to seeing the aloof, inexpressive characteristics of men. What about men who are more emotional and expressive than the average man? How do you deal with such men? What can be said about their characters if you don’t know much else about them? I know generalizations hardly work, but what can be assumed about such men, more or less?
Do any women here have such spouses? What kind of expectations do they have of you?
My questions may not be specific enough but I’m not sure what I’m trying to get at either…I’m basically trying to get a better understanding of such men.
Please don’t assume emotional to equal sissy or girlie or unmanly.
My fiance is kinda emotional at times which is cute. I don't think it's feminine to be emotional and it's better to let it out than keep your feelings bottled up. By being emotional I DON'T mean crying while watching Greys Anatomy but just be expressive in showing love and care. He texts me all the time from work whenever he's bored or whenever he's under stress telling me he misses me and his guy friends make fun of him for that and tell him he's "whipped".

Even worse, I have seen guys cry after watching an episode of Greys Anatomy or putting up ridiculously emotional statuses on facebook..
okay that is just sad, and this guy got some serious girly issues :D
P.S i am fairly emotional and expressive, yet at the end of the day i am a guy :D i guess the only thing i can say as being a girl you can be a lil more comfortable with such ppl as they will be a lil more like u ;) atleast thats what a lot of girls i know say :D

lucky you. i wish my fiance could be a little MORE expressive too. :p he's so shy and aloof that it's hard to get even a single 'i miss you' from him ;) even though i know he really really likes me alot :p
but i would want to have a balance b/w too emotional and too aloof !
errmmm i wudnt be able to deal with a over emotional guy, A guy that crys over pathetic things, or becomes to attached to me, and basically is a door mat please wipe your feet Umm i wud jus get away frm tht person asap!
I like guys that show emotion when needed! I hate door matted guys and guys that start are not emotionally strong. For example if im upset or crying i wud never want a guy to cry with me instead i wud prefer him to jus comfort me and say cheer up.
bottling in emotions is a big reason why guys have issues with cardiac health, hypertension and stress. there is a time and place and a manner to show emotions, and to whom. it applies to both genders, its a bit more challenging for men due to societal norms.
Pffft all men are emotional. It just depends on the issues.
I will tear up at end of Tears of the Sun, when the special forces unit lays down their lives for the refugees. I will most definitely tear up with Boromir dies protecting Frodo and Samwise against the Uruko (spelling?).
We were once soliders will have me choked up and I will get down on my knees and thank the lord whenever Angelina Jolie shows up on screen half naked.
I can be very emotional, but i don't show it, i tend to speak it. And that scares people a lot, ussualy friends know when i am in a sad mood becuase i start to talk of pain, misery, death etc
whats most disturbing is that i can say things with a calm manner, which leaves listeners ussaully in tears while i sit there talking away........ looking at it now it seems comical. :)
I try not to be EMO but it happens sometimes. Never mind i wish it don't happen even to my worst enemies. One should remain calm even during a tempest i suppose?
