Why are girls so emotional and guys not.?

idk, i'm a pretty emotional dude

That is just a front. Guys don't like to be seen emotional.

Actually guys are plenty emotional. I know some emo, emo guys.

girls have a higher pain tolerancy than guys..physical and emotional.proven fact..but girls for some reason show it more..maybe because of the different horomones..

it varies from person to person regardless of sex. a reason some girls can be emotional is because of hormones, and then there's always this thing called societal norms...

That's not always true! I'm none emotional

not sure

It's how society expects women to act, so they do.

Wrong question: the question is why are a majority of girls extroverts and a majority of guys introverts?
Or better yet, why are some people introverts and others extroverts? Sex doesn't have much of a role in this case. I've seen both men and women cry over the same things, I've seen both men and women get angry over the same things and I've seen men and women become happy over the same things.

it's a societal thing. it is more acceptable in society for females to show emotion because they are the "weaker sex" so to speak. females are expected to be more vulnerable more gentle. males on the other hand are look to to be the "stronger" more stoic sex, and society has looked upon men who are emotional as "weak" or not good providers/protectors. when in all reality a man who can show emotion is much more stable than someone who suppresses his emotions. i heard once that men don't cry, they keep their feeling to themselves and stuff them deep down inside where they turn into prostate cancer then have them removed... i look at that as a sign as to why women tend to outlive their male peers.

guys are more logical

Si esto quiere decir que se llevan más por los sentimientos que por la razón... es cierto, la mayoría de las veces, pero si se quiere saber si son más sensibles (en todos los acpectos), esto no es cierto, hombres y mujeres son igual de sensibles, pero diferentes factores sociales lo limitan o exageran según el género

ESTROGEN!!!

It might have something to do with the emotional rollercoaster that our brain and body goes through during menstration.

Hormones and up bringing. Personality choices. guys are too emotional. they play foot ball and punch each others lights out instead of going to the little girls room to talk it out with tissues and a new application of makeup.

been trying to figure that out for years. maybe its estogen

Hormones. We're the nurturers.

im pretty sure its cause guys dont have feelings. no offence guys:)

That's not entirely true. I've been in a couple relationships where the guy ended up being more emotional then me when it came to some stuff, to where they would even shed a few tears... and that was a complete turn off because I saw it as being weak. Then again... the one guy was weak and just rolled over any time a girl (any girl for anything...) asked him to do something.

It's all in the hormones.
Girls+Estrogen= Emotional
Boys+ Testosterone= Not as emotional.

dunno

http://www.writing.com/main/q... , Temperament Test, Temperament is a set of innate traits that underlies personality. Find out which of the 4 below temperaments suits you best. It is highly likely that you are a blend of two temperaments, one being more dominant than the other. It is also a bit possible that there is a tiny bit of the traits of a third temperament. It is very, very unlikely that there is a blend of all four temperaments in one person.

You be the judge.



-----------------------------...
I personally think such is partly a DNA genetic predisposition .

Technically speaking women have three hormone rollercoasters peaking at three different intervals. Psychologically speaking (this is my opinion), it is because boys are taught that to show emotions is a weakness, and men aren't allowed to be weak.

different hormones?

Here is my theory: Males are far more worried to be mocked for their emotions, so they bottle them up inside. It is culturally acceptable for females to express, and not as acceptable for males to be. So males tend to appear more "deadened', for fear of being called weak, sensitive, feminine, and so on. If one is raised a certain way, they will continue to be that way as they grow older, unless they make conscious moves to change it.

Different genetics, cultural and environmental influences.

It's a combination of things. First the hormone cocktails us girls have in our systems of estrogen and progestone make us more prone to being emotional especial when we're on our periods or are going through the hormonal minefield of pregnancy (or when we were younger puberty even or if your older perimenopause/the early years of menopause). Secondly us girls are raised to be in touch with our emotions, openly express them (within reason), and not be ashamed that we are beautiful and wonderful creations made with emotions and feelings. Third, who says guys aren't emotional too but they just either only let their emotions out in private by themselves or channel it through an acceptable activity because of the social taboos on how a guy is supposed to act. Lastly we are all individuals. Some of us girls are more emotional than others. Some guys are more emotional than us. Some of us girl are less emotional than most guys. It takes all types of us women and the men to make the world go around.

In part it's because it's far more accepted for women to show their emotions. That's a generalization, of course, but for the most part, society frowns when guys cry.

men and women are wired differently...that's just the way it is...there is nothing you or I can do about it...celebrate the differences and when your girlfriend is discussing her feelings, try and fake interest.....

Men are actually VERY emotional, however it depends on the guy how much they actually choose to show it. I know guys that are more emotional then their girlfriends.

Guys are emotional to, we just show it more, well some girls do!!

Guys can be just as emotional as women are. The only difference is that most try to mask their emotions.

It varies from person to person. I'm not really an emotional person, but the men I have encountered were very emotional. Guys are emotional, but show it differently.

It has partly to do with brain chemistry, IE how the brains are hard wired from the inception of gender. Men's brains tend to be more wired for logic and problem solving, thus men are less adept at social interaction then the more socially driven and creative women.

It also has to do with the difference in how the two genders are raised. Women are raised to express their emotions freely, and even encouraged to abuse them a bit while men are taught from an early age to suppress emotions and not show them (taught that it isn't "manly" to overtly display emotions).

Basically the brain hard wiring is re-enforced socially during development of men and women, resulting in men being less overtly emotional then women. It's only two million years of directed evolution and societal development at work, y'know.

Emotions aren't based on gender. It depends on the type of person you are. You could be extremely emotional and be a guy, and you can be not emotional at all and be a girl.

Both men and women are emotional, last time I checked. We express our emotions in different ways.

Nope it just depends but guys can be emotional as well, just not out in the public.
