I dont think guys hold in any emotions.They usually do talk about what ever they might be feeling, depending they trust the person who is talking to them.Some people just dont like to share their troubles, which is understandable.It isnt always easy.
this isnt true, being a guy i can assure you all that thers no such thing as
guys never letting out their emotions to anyone...we do...ofcourse it does differ from person to person like MQ said above, some ppl share it all, some like to bear it all..alone..but men are human and we have insecurities and troubles and fears and hopes and all that stuff and we do discuss tyhem with ppl we are close to, friends, guys or girls, siblings, parents...i guess the person being confided in has to be a definite well wisher and very close, other than that, theres no point in spilling your words and tears to someone who just might be listening just to catch up on a bit of gossip. any guys who say they are too strong or macho and make fun of ppl who show emotions are actually sissys themeselves because they are scared of letting ppl know that they feel too. its not about being a guy or a girl, strong or weak, its about being human...humans have feeliongs and emotions and they need help with them.
now i’ll be sharing my feelings about this, to confirm guys dont hide stuff!
i feel like throwing up 
haha! Irem yaar, tell me its a mean joke!
I would have to agree with Ahmadjee, a guy once told me, he is secretive about his emotions because everyone suspects him to be strong. It also does have alot to do with how you have been raised, guys in every culture differ. It also depends upon how their personality is, one of my guy friend is really intouch with his emotional needs, he has suffered great loses over the years, lost his mother, and then his sister, so his shrink told him to be clear about his thoughts, and not repress them. And now he once a while talks if he is sad or depressed.
I wouldn't mind if a guy starts to even cry, though I gotta admit it would def make me a lil uncomfy, because all your life you've been taught "boys DO NOT cry", actually seeing one, would be weird. It kinda also involves some trust issues. One of my friends from highschool, once said he was afraid to talk about things, only because he didn't want the other person to use his weak points against him, during fights.
CATTY >> They always say, women are complicated. But if a guy started talking about his emotions uff I'd put myself to SLEEP, and never want to wake up. So its BETTER if they stay SHUT.
Has anybody read Chicken Soup for the Soul? I swear, 80% of those stories were about grown men releasing their emotions and breaking down crying. I thought it was dumb.
Re: Why don’t guys talk about their emotions?
Nope. The worse the situation gets, the stronger I become. When I am sad/angry/or whatever, I usually keep it to myself. I don’t like to share my emotions/feelings/thoughts and it doesn’t bother me to keep it all inside.
Irem Chalo moderator honey ka kuch faaeda tou hua I promise I don’t use any other nick to post my emotions on this forum :halo:
it depends on the way u are brought up… ur just automatically expected to be strong and take it like a man… but hay , maybe if they arent showing it, they dont really have any worries 
my theory is, why get others depressed/worried about u? i,m sure i can handle it myself, its not like i,m dying… and even if i am… why make others feel sad too? the least one can do is make others feel better.
and MQ? which mind games are u talking about? i can guarantee u, most guys dont play any mind games, its the girls… and they do it a lot. guys are simple creatures. give us good food and we are happy
I know loadsa emotional guys. They bawl buckets and would tell me too. My little bro is one of a street mob but trust me when he gets chappals flung at him from ammi he cries like no man has before. And some do discuss how hurt they are....they're just like us. Crybabies.
don’t get me started Kaka … don’t get me started 
Men do talk about their emotions. But only ever with those they trust the most.
And they will always flatly deny that they ever talk about their emotions.
Its always an issue of trust or a comfort zone. Most men if they confide in someone with they confide 100%. It is all or nothing. Plus only real problems should be discussed. If your feelings are hurt suck it up, who gives a damn, people are worse off your feelings shouldnt hold you back etc etc etc. You get the idea.

Exactly my reason. When I am happy, I usually share it with people because it'll make them happy as well. When I am sad, I keep it to myself because I can handle it and why make others sad just because one person is sad?
Another reason: For example, lets say catwoman you are sad/angry/crying or whatever and you come to me and start telling me. Now at this point, you need someone who is stronger than you (emotionally) and who can listen to you, not get worried and lose control on his emotions, who can keep himself under control and give you some advice or console you, who can support you and calm you down. If I am weak as well and start panicing or crying, it won't help you. Rather, it'll worry you more. That's why sometimes guys have to act stronger when someone's depending on them. Atleast I do.
We dont need men.
Kaka…damnit if good food is all you guys like then I’d be married with 8 kids coz I’m a mighty fine cook..but NOOOOO…guys are the masters of mind games the lil scumbags..they take you on guilt trips and act like they’re all hurt and make you feel like sh*t..so you’re at home crying while their out livin it up with their buddies booty shakin in some club and then the next day they act as if nothing had happened 
Talking about emotions means laying your soul bare and it can make you very vulnerable. It follows that you will do that only with someone who 1) you can trust 2) is willing to REALLY listen and 3) will not judge you.
Even women who may talk a lot often don't speak of things that matter. And men who talk very little will occasionally say something really important in a few words.
Besides having a safe environment to do it in, many of us haven't learnt HOW to express our emotions and fears. We don't know the right language, how to put things into words. And that problem is common to all human beings.
Why do girls always want men to talk about their emotions ?

Coz it's a sign of trust, communication and togethernes
I agree with KaKa men dont play the mind games. Did you forget women mature earlier than men? So how can men play mind games. Its the ladies that cook up a simple plain statment from a man in to a mind game....:D
Oh they go there to shake the pain off…

Perhaps this is how you view it. Perhaps this is why men can "talk" their way through rather than act, which matters more...
