Lizzie60 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I'm interested in this statement. It was written as a reply on another post and made me think how true is it really? Are men able to turn off their feelings easier than women? Surely it depends on the individual involved? Yes definitely.. I am convinced that men can compartmentalize a lot more than women can. I think they are 'equipped' to better protect themselves... for some reasons.. but as you say it also depends on the individual.. but I would say that MOST men can. Link to post Share on other sites
Peter_pan Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 i am a guy and i am emotional. guys do bottle stuff up. and when they drink it all comes out... from my experience i would say women can turn off there feelings easier, but this was because there was someone else in her sights. other wise i would say its about 50/50 and situation dependant Link to post Share on other sites
Trialbyfire Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 i am a guy and i am emotional. guys do bottle stuff up. and when they drink it all comes out... I agree with this. from my experience i would say women can turn off there feelings easier, but this was because there was someone else in her sights. other wise i would say its about 50/50 and situation dependant I disagree with the bolded portion. That is also individual or situational reliant. Whether male or female, there are "grass is greener" types and people who have options. Link to post Share on other sites
colourithappy Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I think my natural assumption that yes they are easier to bottle those feeligs up. But, different strokes for different folks. .. Everyone different. Link to post Share on other sites
JustinWolf Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 We can hide those feelings. I know I can. Except, the people who are close to me will notice that there is something wrong. Oh and when I'm emotional, I try to avoid the alcohol beverages because it's going to make me crash really bad and I might start going crazy and being sad .... cheeeeeers Link to post Share on other sites
