Who is the Guy and Who is the Girl?

Asked Apr 19, 2007, 03:08 PM — 11 Answers
I am a gal that thinks like a guy , I love sports baseball, football, golfing, I am going to the ducks -wild game tonight! But I just recently broke up with a boyfriend, I was sad for the first two weeks but I tend to do that with most relationships. I don't get caught up in sad could of would of should of been ordeal.

My question is:

Do men react in that same manner? (I hate to limit it to gender)

Women usually do not, I have quite a few girlfriends and they want to talk about it , go over it again and again and again, .....

The man I was dating was very emotional almost as if he was the female in the relationship. It was very weird to say the least!

A lot of men are emotional, some show it more then others.

It is not weird. It happens more often then you think. The opposite being. Women not as emotional and male being emotional. Also if you read a lot of posts here on this website you will see. Many many males that are very emotional in the relationship or after the relationship.

So you've never met anyone who meant more than two weeks to you? How old are you? Have you ever been the one who was dumped?

I think it really depends on the depth of the relationship, both genders get hurt and react in this way - you only need to check out some of threads on this site.

If you have never felt this way then my guess is you have never been truly in love and have been involved in one sided relationships ie , their feeling is stronger.

One very true quote - Love hurts!

Its likely you may not have met the one yet who is going to bring out that emotional side of you. You probably just have not been in love yet.

I don't believe men are far different from women. I also believe that society puts pressure on men to supress their emotional side or put on some kind of front that disguises other sides to them. I believe that expressing emotions is very important and you are no more of a man if you subscribe to the 'lad culture', can't be seen to do that kind of attitude.

Not sure what relevance that has to what you were saying but its just a general idea.

We have all grown up in a society that say what men are, and what women should be. I think times are changing, and people are defining themselves by their own standards more and more.

Exactly...

I think its all about being who you are, being true to yourself and others. As long as you are a good human being, why change anything to satisfy some socially acceptable falseness?

Did that sound cynical? It wasn't supposed to.

I think that's the opposite of cynical, Geoff.

I think I may have thought that this last bit sounded cynical.
