A large number of women assume that guys are still emotionally immature and sensitive. I read that several times in various comments. That is not the case.
Many guys DO the work, demonstrate vulnerability, and express their emotions. They do it, however, in different ways. It’s vastly different and diametrically opposed to how women deal with their emotions.
Because males are so different from women, many women are unable to recognize their men’s emotional labor because they view it through feminine lenses. This will always result in a distorted image.
The Divine Guy is still “only” a man, and he cannot always contain her emotions, protect, care for, and be strong for her while still being always linked to his feelings. In any case, his emotional relationship is unique from hers. So why even mess with it?
We all unknowingly view the world from our own perspective, and as a result, men tend to do for women what men need, while women prefer to do for men what women need. We tend to offer what we desire to get, as is human nature.
We should also remember that emotional differences between men and women stem from the differences in emotional vocabulary that both learn from childhood on, as well as their physiological makeup.
While the same collection of neurons in both men’s and women’s brains handle emotional events such as fear and anger, these neurons connect to distinct areas of the brain in men and women.
For women, these neurons connect to sections of the brain that regulate internal body regions, focusing on things like hormones, blood pressure, and breathing. In males, however, these identical neurons will link to sections of the brain focused on the periphery, such as vision and movement. This will result in a considerable variation in conduct between a man and a woman in the same stressful or emotional scenario.
Many males analyze their feelings while they are alone. They relieve tension by temporarily forgetting about their difficulties. Most women relieve stress by talking about their problems. Women must realize that guys deal with stress in a different way.
When your boyfriend is in his cave, don’t take it personally. Remember, it’s his method of coping with stress. If you pursue him, he will flee further into the cave. You put honey outside the cave instead of vinegar by being encouraging.
With this help and understanding, he will be more emotionally open, kind, and loving when he returns. Men, for their part, must recognize that, after their alone time, there comes a period when the conversation is required.
Many guys go through a regular cycle of approaching, withdrawing, and approaching again. This cycle is analogous to a hungry guy having a huge meal, feeling quite full, and then ignoring food until he is hungry again.
The demand for emotional intimacy in men is analogous to the eating example. He also has a strong desire for goal-oriented independence. His desire and attraction to his wife are fueled by his independence and emotional solitude.
He will spring back like a stretched rubber band. It’s natural that his independence and seclusion leave women feeling emotionally abandoned at times. Caring, understanding, and respect are three of a woman’s basic emotional requirements.
She must notify him of her basic emotional needs in a positive manner in order to feel cared for. Time spent together is typically the most important thing to a woman.
However, most women and men are unsure of what they require and are unaware that their fundamental requirements differ; this lack of communication and knowledge can lead to emotional anger.
A large number of women believe that they are giving and giving and not receiving enough in return. Men frequently believe they are doing so much for her and all she does is moan. Women then begin to demand and pull more.
Men begin to give up, retreat and believe that nothing can make her happy anymore. This is what they usually hear (or at least how it sounds in his head): “You’re doing it wrong. You’re not bringing me joy. I’m not happy with you. You must do things differently. You’re careless about me.”
You can see how this is mental wreckage for a man doing his best in the midst of turmoil that he may not even be aware of. Men, once again, are NOT emotionally immature. And they really DO the work. They simply don’t talk about it much and digest it in different ways.
When women contrast their husband’s efforts with their own emotional work, males will always come up short.
