Comment on Why, as a male, when emotionally do I only feel accepted by women but not by men?

Pretty much that.

Because on the whole, boys are never taught to deal with emotions but anger. All others must be suppressed lest you look weak...

To listen to another man express painful emotions means they may have to acknowledge that they are mot masters of the universe and perfect, stoic gods in every way and in every aspect of their lives.

It takes real courage to allow yourself to be emotionally vulnerable around others and the vast majority of man are never able to to this with anyone but their partners (and will never admit that that they have) and most not even then.

  Seriously, if you ever need another man to speak to and can't find one in your circle, send me a PM. I will listen and I will respond.
  
  None of us are perfect, none of us have all the answers and none of us have control over this random, erratic world we live in.
