men, emotions, ha! seriously though i've onnly got afew friends and i like it that way, what's wrong with having afew good friends anyway, better to have one good friend than 50 alright friends. In my opinion your friends don't need to hear every little thing that goes on in my life, if i'm feeling a bit down one day what is telling someone else really going to do? i prefer to keep things bottled up forever and ever and ever and ever and ever... because it works.

The real difference between men and women, emotionally, lies in the term 'emotional problem'. To men, this describes a problem, emotional in nature. Problems have solutions. Problems can be solved, therefore they will be. A man can solve his own problems. Women, don't want to solve their problems. They just want to talk about them.
I'm female, but I have a fairly stereotypical 'male' response to emotions. I bottle things up, and don't talk to them with my friends, no matter what the problem is. I prefer to solve things myself, rather than rely on other people to think them out for me.
Yes, I have people I consider 'close friends,' but when it comes to a significant, life-changing event, I find that I rarely talk about it with said friends.

I find it kind of hard to respond to because I don't talk about my feelings not because I'm hiding them but I really don't have them. I have my tight group of friends and we spend most of our time playing video games, sports, and making fun of each other. I don't need to discuss emotional issues because I don't have them. If I did it would probably be along the lines of "X is a pain in the ass".
If you look at this from a medical and psychological perspective it's quite true. Assuming men do keep their problems to themselves(and I will assume they do), they should learn to speak a little more freely. It should be obvious by now to most people that keeping your problems bottled up in your brain can cause psychological damage.
Note: I am male, so this is not any sort of sexism or the like.

Agree with that:Kurokami said:
Put three women in a room together, they'll talked about the news, movies, fashion, men. Take one women out, the other two will talk about that woman who left.

That article didn't really reveal anything new, but instead tried to spin it to make men seem flawed because they operate differently than women. Friends have the same overall purpose for both sexes, but they go about it differently. The purpose is strength. Women use friends for emotional strength, men use friends as a source of friendly competition. Just because men would rather keep their emotional needs linked to their significant other rather than multiple other people does not make them flawed and I resent the implication in the article that it does. I guarantee if someone used this same information and spun it to make it sound like women are emotionally helpless that need help from multiple people while men are emotionally strong that can handle emotions on their own or with little help, people would flip their shit.
Males tend to lack "close" friends because of the way women see things. Males, in reality do have close friends, just not close in the way women do. This is partially because males tend not to develop friendships with women for fear of pain. After all, we all now women are completely evil. That's why the witch trials happened.
