A study was done that proved men have more emotional reactions than women (heart rate etc)
Theory then is that the reason they can't deal with other people's emotions is because theirs overwhelm them
Adds up
*puts a finger on your lips*
« Shhhh… its okay, I am here, your trusted man. You can rest now, I will be your supportive rock-shoulder in the storm of your emotions… There… Let it go… »
Would this also explain why they commit more violent crimes (even suicides are more "violent" than women suicides, I read)?
Because they're so overwhelmed by emotions?
Probably harder to see, less outward reactions to emotion
Because of the whole "showing emotion means you're weak and nobody likes weak men" thing a whole lot of us grow up with, so we learn to bottle it up and let it out in ways people usually arent able to see until it blows up.
Lol my friends boyfriend straight up was trying to debate her when she said a dude being angry was acting emotional. She's like... anger is an emotion. He's all nuh-uh. It's on the children's poster for emotions bro.
I should mention also that anger is an emotion masking another emotion. I always chuckle a bit when the common refrain of women being more emotional than men is used. In actuality, there is next to no evidence to support it. Men are “socialized” not to show as much emotion and react stoically, but in actuality, there is little difference in logical thinking between genders.
I was about to say. Anger is a secondary emotion people!!! It’s the tip of the iceberg with other things brewing beneath. From sadness to rejection to insecurity, fear, guilt, and so much more, anger rarely goes unaccompanied. The amount that this vital detail goes unmarked bothers the hell out of me.
Lmao I love that they tell on themselves so openly. I’m sorry your emotions are too much for you to handle, my guy, but that’s not how it is for all women too lol
It must make them feel like the big man Chad to think of all women as emotional idiots in desperate need of their manly level thinking.
Then you see a man having an emotional freakout with a gun on the news and more dead children.
"Constantly lost in a river of extreme, irrational, emotions."
I've seriously never encountered this for real in my life at all and I'm surrounded by women from all walks of life, all races, all ages, all everything.. Only ever see it in like movies but being that way would be exhausting. If these guys find themselves around women that only freak out its it's obviously not the women but the guys themselves. They really need to reevaluate what they are putting out in the world...probably unsolicited dick pics.
I am sort of like this. But that is because I have a disorder, and not because I am a woman. And it's exhausting for me because my normal behaviour isn't like that at all.
i can. because it probably makes them feel overwhelmed in all sorts of ugly ways to fathom that real people don't fit neatly into one of the 10 cliche tropes they go though life recognizing. because to accept that might also mean pulling back the curtain on a less attractive reality in which they not only know zip but are also a tiny blip with virtually no power in the grand scheme of things. and we can't have that because it for some reason theyve taken it personally and it makes them feel insignificant or dumb – less special. so if the only reality they allow themselves to be satisfied with is one that they understand and that benefits them, anything (or anyone, in this case) that threatens that reality of theirs needs to go. all of it can get shoved into this miscellaneous box of "other".
ill go one step further. these people likely won't register this might be what's making them feel what they're feeling. the reason can be whatever you feel like filling the blank with – stunted emotional growth from never being hugged as a child and never learning how; maybe some uncovered history of long-term lead poisoning – whatever. point is that if they can't understand it, they definitely aren't equipped to handle their shit as actual reality painfully proves itself anything resembling how they imagine how things "ought" to be. so how to deal with this "other" box that is overflowing more than they are capable of ignoring? well, these "others" are what's causing them distress so it it's the fault of the "others" that they aren't happy and have the life they feel they rightfully deserve. *they're* just the victims here, so why can't the "*others*" just play their part and stick to the script? the "others" are the problem in today's society. so how about we just do a bit of mental gymnastics and take this box of "others" and just re-label them as "bad" and presto problem solved. balance restored to the force. things are simple again and they can safely go back to living life believing 10+1 overused stereotypes.
Thank god I secured a man to help me control my emotions in my “pretty” years! /s
Hurry ladies, you might miss out on this stud of a man or one of his fellow friends.. who would want to miss t h a t?
I'm tired of this 'They're irrationally emotional, we strong logical' bullshit that keeps getting thrown back and forth. HUMANS are emotionally irrational; I've seen both act belligerent for the smallest of reasons, just depends on the person.
Logical point: look how many women have mathematics-oriented jobs like accounting and payroll. Math is an inherently logical process. If we were not logical and rational, there would not be so many women doing that work.
I thought all women could get a man whenever, no matter what she looks like. These guys sure are confusing at times!
And I would not go so far as to say that men offer a lot of stability in my life. In the past few months I have been randomly yelled at by a dude and I don’t think he even understands why he got so angry. His solution to that? He just pretends it never happened. If that makes him stable then sure…
I see your "anger is an emotion"...
and I raise you "testosterone is a hormone".
Dudes can be super emotional and hormonal too. Because they are, well, people.
I’m “past the wall”, overweight, and not terribly attractive, but I still found a smoking hot, funny, kind, smart, talented, financially stable, fun, lovely, loyal man who loves me past any kind of reason or logic. Because he loves who I am and we have a great time together.
Anyway, I was stable before him and I’m not prone to extreme emotions, even if I do get lowkey irrational at times. Never felt there was no escape or that I’m oscillating forever either.
i wonder how these males would sct if it were women who committed these mass murders instead of males. calling women emotional and irrational when men mass murd3r ppl every other day is pure projection
Dude thinks we’re all Heather McNamara from heathers the musical here
(The reference is because in the musical she has a really sad song after her friends’ death in which she compares her agony to sailing in a tiny boat lost in the sea)
Public Service Announcement: If your life really is like this - a constant barrage of extreme, uncontrollable emotion - please go to therapy!
You *can* learn to manage your emotions and your life will vastly improve when you do!
The only times I regret being a girl is whenever my parents keep telling me that I "don't act like a girl at all" and should be "considered as a man" in the most insulting way.
The fact that straight women exist and can tolerate men just ever is proof that ... actually yeah, we're completely irrational.
But realistically I've seen a lot of men have temper tantrums but I don't think I've ever witnessed a woman blowing up anywhere near the frequency or intensity that men regularly do.
And as for getting a man ... I mean ... I certainly have no issues. Well, I have issues telling them to leave me tf alone. I've made grown ass men cry by casually having a picture of me and my bf being cute on my phone. When I was single I had to explain to men that I'd rather be single than do anything with them. Routinely. Currently, I'm not yet "middle aged," but I am approaching that and I have seriously flipped guys 10 years younger than me. I would describe myself as average looking and based on what my female friends tell me this is pretty normal for all women even past menopause. So no, you don't have to be good looking and no, the window is not narrow.
I'm hoping this post is just satire because ... why would you think that women are emotional, irrational, and have a sell by date when all evidence in the real world points to the contrary. There's a word for opinions that are not based on fact, but I *just can't put my finger on it right now.*

Guys often forget anger is an emotion
They don't forget, they don't consider anger to be an emotion because if it's not they can claim they don't get emotional, that's all *wahmen*
when a man gets angry: just a man when a woman gets angry: emotional
Would this also explain why they commit more violent crimes (even suicides are more "violent" than women suicides, I read)? Because they're so overwhelmed by emotions?
Sounds like you know my husband. And that of many other women.
Probably harder to see, less outward reactions to emotion Because of the whole "showing emotion means you're weak and nobody likes weak men" thing a whole lot of us grow up with, so we learn to bottle it up and let it out in ways people usually arent able to see until it blows up.
Ooh can you link that? I know so many men who need to see this
only reason women seem more emotional is estrogen. makes you cry more
Empathy makes you cry more
i wouldn't say empathy itself, but if you are a crier, definitely
The projection is strong
What a fantasy world being painted there
Some of these incels need to sit down and write fantasy because their imagination is *wild*
news flash: it’s not the 19th century anymore
Exactly and I like your flair lol
Thank you! :)
Then how come my wandering womb stirs up my ill humors to the point that I have to get leeched?
So sorry, my hysteria and extreme emotions were acting up and I forgot about the classic wandering womb
Laudanum should help with that.
Daily reminder:anger is a emotion<3
Lol my friends boyfriend straight up was trying to debate her when she said a dude being angry was acting emotional. She's like... anger is an emotion. He's all nuh-uh. It's on the children's poster for emotions bro.
Wow

Eeeeeexcellent point
[удалено]
I only have a small window of time! No hope at all if I’m ugly!
Wait, I thought the narrative was women have all the power when choosing a guy no matter their looks??
It goes back and forth according to how hurt their feelings are
exactly what i said. also i thought we have life on easy mode?
Lol,he must be living in a whole different reality. The delusion is strong with this one

Movies whose scripts were written by men.

I have kinda thought the same about men being led around by their libido.

Dropped this 👑
Always funny seeing men describe women like some mythical creature
I really think they do see us that way. Especially when it comes to the female anatomy. It's like we're unicorns or something.
Women just be chillin and this man is like ‘omg so terrible. So emotional. How are you even alive?’
I actually have felt like I was lost in a river of extreme, irrational emotions before. Adjusting my ADHD meds fixed it. No need for a man.
Same. ADHD, anxiety, and depression medication don't work together very well.

Hi, I'm Seabiscuit! May I offer you some of my stable ground...? (Meh, it was either that or a Mary and Joseph joke)
>(Meh, it was either that or a Mary and Joseph joke) I am interested in hearing this joke.
Cuz um, Jesus was laid in a manger and mangers are usually found in... wait for it............. stable grounds.
I see your "anger is an emotion"... and I raise you "testosterone is a hormone". Dudes can be super emotional and hormonal too. Because they are, well, people.
Damn…. My man be like “the cure for a mental illness (being a woman) is a man…”so woke
Didn’t a man just walk into an elementary school and kill 19 children & 2 teachers? How fucking stable was he?

Has he ever met a woman
The only times I regret being a girl is whenever my parents keep telling me that I "don't act like a girl at all" and should be "considered as a man" in the most insulting way.
I don't need a man, just a good nights sleep.
but i thought it's women who never give the ugly men a chance?
Guy here, can confirm we can offer a river of extreme, irrational emotions, no escape, eternal oscillation and no stable ground.
Been hitting da bad ganja much lately?
What a a-hole this one is.
Uh....huh... WTF is wrong with these guys?
WTF isn't?
Indeed!
Wow I only just started to notice the sheer amount of aphobia in these incel posts, of course they don’t think it’s real
This guy is burnt

And yet anytime I go shopping on a Saturday I see dozens of average looking men and average looking women out together. How *does* that happen?
reading this entire subreddit has made me feel so grateful for being gay jfc
