Edit2: It's a subjective perception I'm talking about. Are you offended? Why?

What's the matter, why can't men deal with me being sensitive and emotional? Is it because they struggle with me reminding them of having, too, emotions?

Edit: Do men think I'm weak when I show emotions? If so, why?? Why do women see it as a sign of strength when men are vulnerable, but men don't seem to get it? Are they/are we dumb??

    You have given lemmy very little to go on here, so pick whichever answer you prefer.

    Hypothesis 1: The culture of which you are a part has established gender roles which lead to its women typically being more emotionally open and empathic than the menfolk.

    Hypothesis 2: For similar cultural reasons, women around you tend to favour a communications style that happens to be more compatible with the one you have developed for yourself, leading to easier mutual understanding.

    Hypothesis 3: You have some hang-ups of your own about sex which are making you more receptive to female company than male.

      I’m not sure about H1, because I’m younger in years than the number of relocations I had in my life

      H3 plays definitely a part into my perception tho!
