What is wrong with these women? Men show emotion all the time; you just have to know how to recognize it.
If your husband takes out the garbage and puts away the dishes, he's feeling romantic. If he flops on the couch and falls asleep after a particularly hard day at work, he's not.
Word to the wise, Ladies: most men are not hardwired to talk about their "feelings." They are hardwired to FIX things. So don't complain to them about something unless you expect it to be fixed, don't prattle on about stuff unless you want their input, and don't expect them to make undying declarations of love like they do in the movies because most men would rather SHOW you they love you by what they DO. Talk is cheap.
That was EXCELLENT!!!
“most men are not hardwired to talk about their “feelings.” They are hardwired to FIX things.”
Understand that the core, regarding this discussion is to MAKE THE BAD FEELINGS STOP. We don’t want to wallow in your pain, we want to make your pain go away because we care! Faced with the choice of spending an hour sharing feelings of hurt/guilt/frustration/sorrow/whatever after which nothing has changed but “understanding”, vs 10 minutes of solving the d@mm problem which is harming a loved one and thus the bad feelings disappear because the problem is gone, he11 yeah we’re gonna want to FIX THINGS.
