Posted: 5/2/2008 10:48:53 PM | | How many more advantages do you women want? Come on guys don't suck ass and explain yourselfs. Im not being macho or whatever but woman have wanted us to be real with them for ages. And now that times are much more different and women in general are more educated with more rights Realism isn't good enough for you'all. I'm sorry early lesson my "MOTHER" taught me. quote"Son love hurts but you will not Die from it"unquote. Ladies it has nothing to do with us not being able to show our feelings or not wanting to. trust me we have hearts too we are human. But someone has to maintain a backbone. How would the world be if we broke down for every hurt emotion caused to us and dwelled on it for months or years. And if we didn't ticker the way we do how long would it be before women decided to move on. Everything needs a balance in this world quit trying to analyze the other gender to the bone. It is what it is. Lets jus find a way to meet halfway alright. 50/50 | |

Msg: 101 -- Most men just blow it off like nothing ever happen.
I blow it off and PRETEND as if nothing ever happened. There IS a HUGE difference.
It drives me nuts. I have met a few tho that doesnt act this way. They atcually care that the realationship is over.
I am one who DOES care. BUT, I care MORE for my emotional health. For THIS reason ALONE, I have developed in myself a "DETACH" REFLEX which supercedes any emotional involvement I may have in the current defective relationship in which I may be involved. | |

Msg: 105 -- Men who care the most have a hard time disconnecting...
In my case, this is not correct. I disconnect quickly and easily upon presentation of a Red Flag.
I may GRIEVE for SEVERAL months afterwards, but the disconnect is AUTOMATIC. I deliberately sculptured my response in this way.
OK, after thinking about it, the PAIN involved with the disconnect is EXCRUCIATING, but I choose to keep that private, not up for open discussion. It is a PRIVATE, PERSONAL agony that NO ONE will EVER be privy to.
The disconnect is personal, private, and PERMANENT. | |

I am sorry you got it as bad as you did but I think it is only fair that people receive warning if you are going to leave them. When you Automatically Disconnect you are bringing your SO the same pain that you are trying to avoid. As an adult the courteous thing to do would be to explain "Look, this happened, it brought back painful memories/ raised a red flag/ changed my opinion of you and for this reason I must move on."
Stone cold disconnect is breaking hearts to keep yours secure. | |

Posted: 5/2/2008 11:46:05 PM | Sorry if this is redundant but I am not reading 5 pages. If you are having so much trouble it is because of two things. You are not remembering the *sshole that would do this to you, the bad qualities in the man, but the idealized image that you have from when times were good.
You are mourning the loss of what could have been instead of what was. Even if this was supposedly the only time he was not decent do you, does this jibe with the guy you fell in love with? I imagine that he would not have frozen you out. It is harder when you thought you found the right guy but you need to recognize that he is not it.
So your problem is not him turning off his feelings it is your failure to recognize that this man is not good enough for you and YOU do not want HIM. Once you get your brain around that and see him for who he is rather than what you made him, you will be fine. | |

Posted: 5/3/2008 12:18:18 AM | | ok so men hide thier feelings. but you break thier heart and they cry, you may not see it or hear about it. but they do. only so much one person can take. it sounds to me like the women who question themselves about mens feelings are either with a man that has none and are just being used, or were with a guy who goes by the famous saying the best way to get over someone is to get under a new one. | |

Ladies, all I can say is, those were some very well thought out, in-depth and lucid arguments. Good job.
Naaaaah, I was just kidding. Your statements actually portray you as bitter, jaded and biased. Sorry for your pain and whoever caused it.....but it wasn't me (just a random guy). Have a great, happy, fruitful and joyful life.

Msg: 105 -- To say it is just a man thing I think really is incorrect, and forgive me if this is a repeat I just didn't have the time to read all what 6 pages...
Trust me, you missed virtually NOTHING. "Man vs Woman", "Woman vs Man", same OLD argument about Long-Term Relationships and why they do not last.
OK, this thread is REFINED in some ODD attempt at understanding WHY men seem to have premature feelings of affection as opposed to why some women do NOT.
Personally, I view the masculine and feminine plane to be on the SAME scope, one searching the other for compatibility. FAR TOO OFTEN, and I consider myself to be among the ACCUSED, compatibility is FAR to often PRESUMED, WITHOUT any basis in fact.
MY RESPONSE: I BAIL! I simply REFUSE to be responsible for another's happiness unless it DIRECTLY involves my OWN! | |

Thanks, David. I appreciate your honesty. This subject seems to have attracted the anger in the women responding. IT WASN'T ME! | |

Your argument is valid, but I won't pursue it. This is the way I deal with MY PAIN. It is the way I have trained myself and I won't break from it until and unless I find a better way. So far, nothing as effective as this has reached my attention.
If you have a better way, I am open to suggestions. | |

Posted: 5/3/2008 2:04:55 AM | This generalised statement just isn't true, OP. What one woman complains about not getting another will complain if she gets.
When you're with a man who doesn't express his feelings you're with a person who doesn't express their feelings. I see exactly the same thing with women - particular female 'players' who don't regard themselves as 'players'. They want to be completely in control of the situation and perhaps some men do too.
Sometimes people will walk away when they realise they've become too attached too early - ie they've just emotionally set themselves up for a really big onset of depression and decide to leave the scene before it gets worse. About a year ago I dropped a lady because I was too attached and it was obvious she wasn't attached at all - in fact she walked around semi-naked in front of her ex b/f who she shared a flat with and it dawned on me she wasn't actually ever going to be 'attached' to anyone, she was just so laid back it was nice to be around but gave nothing to emotionally 'link' to.
Every individual is different - if you can find someone who comes 80% of the way to expressing their emotions etc in tandem with you you've done really well.
Thinking it's 'men' is the wrong kind of thinking. It's people. | |

Posted: 5/3/2008 5:14:20 AM | Well said I quite agree with you, it is the person not the sex of the person that determines how they handle a break up of a relationship. I have know both men and woman that can get very attached to someone before they even know them all that well, and at the end of the realtionship they are heart broken. My advice would be for people to slow down and really get to know someone before you get emotional attached. This way your feeling will then be in tune with each others. | |

Posted: 5/3/2008 5:34:08 AM | This isn't a gender thing - it's a people show feelings differently thing. Just because someone shows them differently than you doesn't mean those feelings aren't as deep as yours.
Sheesh...my ex used to be mean to me just to try to get me to cry or be angry. Including staging breakups and then posting himself on personals sites to try to get me upset. I'm of stoic stock and so usually just get quieter and quieter when I'm upset. I accepted that he was more outwardly emotional than me. His inablity to accept the way I showed my feelings was part of what why the relationship ended.
Don't be so bitter and don't be so judgemental. You can lose out on a lot of good things that way.
Of course if someone is with a person just to be involved (or for a lifestyle) and not because they really care about the person, or if someone just finally gets fed up, it's not so hard to walk away. | |

Posted: 5/3/2008 5:48:34 AM | | The older I get the more I realize that it is not what men say that is important, but how they ACT. Many will say anything to achieve immediate goals (such as getting you in the sack) but their actions are the true test. Do they call when they say they will? Do they treat you with respect? If a man says he loves you but then disappears....then...he doesn't | |

Good for you - you're learning, now care to impart this knowledge unto gals my age? The consensus amongst them is that if a guy says he loves them, that they need to make him disappear, esp. if he doesn't.
Oh - men have feelings too.
