The Sad Truth of Being A Man

In my experience when it comes to dating women, they don't want you to show your sensitive/soft side. To most, that shows a lack of masculinity which I'm baffled by. Most women expect the man to not express his emotions, toughen things out, and to just forget about it.

I have had experience both ways. I typically am extremely reserved, especially when expressing emotions. So I have actually been told by woman that because of this, I am not approachable and guarded. I rarely get angry so most of the time I am not expressive and have been told it is a barrier for most women to get to know me. On the other hand, once someone gets to know me more, it is easier for me to be expressive and get out of my shell. Once I did, I actually bond really well with women. That being said my past relationship, I was more open and honest about what I was feeling, but when that emotion turned into venting and anxiety, it immediately was a turn off and eventually lead to a break up. This being said, I think that expressing emotions overall is good, but allowing fear and anxiety to dominate your emotions actually hinders the relationship. For better or worse, I have learned to express my emotions and now, hold the fear and anxiety to myself because expressing such emotions is damaging to a relationship. I am not saying this is the answer or that it is even a good choice. It is just the conclusion I have come to know.
