I'm sure the overwhelming opinion will be that it is more manly and strong to waste time and energy with blubbering.
I've never much given a shit about being manly.

Depends. Can you trust those around you? Most people hate it when men express negative emotion. They consider it weak, and will see you as a target.
If you're around people you trust, it may be different. But I still don't like the thought of people knowing there's something wrong with me.

"Real Men" who bottle stuff up are stupid morons who's got more macho self-conscious issues than can possibly be healthy. It's more manly to admit that you actually have human emotions than to try to act so fucking tough all the time in front of your 'bros'.
Like, I don't ACT manly in any way but I'm more manly than even the most emotionally closed-off "dude" among my friends because I'm not terrified of expressing feelings or being seen as vulnerable in some way.

I might get a lot of Flak for this, but I'm gonna go with a huge no on this one.
Do you realize how whiny you sound when you constantly express your feelings? It's not even that it makes you sound feminine or what not, you just sound like a baby.
That does not mean that you shouldn't trust loved ones with feelings if they want you to open up to them, but you really have to learn to get a grip on yourself.
It takes much more psychological power to deal with them yourself then to confide in others.
And seriously, what the hell is up with all this new Masculinity denial thread theme week going on recently? Why are people getting so uppity about being a guy?
Reminds me of that South Park episode to tell you the truth.

Who really cares? I do whatever I want whether it's manly or not. What I come off as is what I come off as, you make your mind up as to whether it influences your impression of me.
Wow, that's a really thinky statement.

That's taking the definition of "manly" and twisting it in your own way.ReservoirAngel said:
No, being emotional does not make you manly. Of course, being "manly" doesn't necessarily have to be a positive thing. That's for you to decide. But what you are describing is being up front with your emotions. That's many things like brave and respectable, but it's not manly.
A real man bottles it up until he's shitfaced at the pub with a trustworthy mate. That's how men deal with emotions, alcohol. Unnecessary outbursts of violence (likely against random strangers at the pub) are also acceptable.
I'm using the "not thinking you have to act like a macho douche" definition of manly here.Tdc2182 said:
From my experience, i think it's pretty manly to talk about your thoughts and feelings with your trusted friends on a walk home after a night at the pub. You get a good sense of camaraderie.
It depends. If expressing your feelings Is crying like a girl at Bambi your probs not all that manly.
But If It's taking no shit from none and telling them how you feel about them (Only in a way thats detrimental to their health), Then yeah thats pretty manly...

I personally don't think it matters, I'm male, not a man. I'd hate to be thought of as one as it's something I would not like to be associated with. I don't really care what other people think, if I've got a problem with someone or something then I'll let them know about it and see if the problem can be solved.
