Nice but it still goes back to the original point. Are women more sensitive through conditioning or by nature? I am sure a man that is essentially a woman is more likely to be emotionally stressed out than a normal male. Because he has been conditioned as a woman and it is ok for them to let their emotions controlt hem. (According to society).

So that is why I think it is all based on condition and upbringing and not pure biology.

Expectations of masculinity are a part of the root of all the world's evils. Just do you. The only expectation I have of what it means to be a man is taking care of you children if you have any...that's it.

I am always amazed when people hearken back on this stoic, caveman-like, prototypical man of long ago. What makes the man of yesteryear such a great man? Because he showed no sensitivity? How does showing intense emotion make you less of something that really isn't defined by how many tears you shed? A measure of a man isn't how often he shows his inner feelings. It's crazy to think that you laud the man that seemed the most dead inside.

Until, of course, they do the manly thing and take a shotgun blast to the face.

OP does have a point. Men are becoming more and more feminine these days. I think alot of it has to do with americas push towards "tolerance" and political correctness. People are constantly trying to redefine what a man is due to their own personal iniquities, insecurities and shortcomings. Men should be masculine. That doesnt mean you have to be the biggest, toughest guy in the room, but their are other behaviors and attitudes associated with masculinity such as assertiveness, the way you dress, the way you move and talk etc. Lets be serious. Men behave in a certain way. period. In these modern times guys are soo damn worried about fine tuning themselves to be what some girl wants them to be, that they're losing their essence. If a guy thinks a chick likes pretty boys, joe shmoe will slick back his hair and try to be a pretty boy, if she likes thugs he will throw a bandana on, etc. He never really asks himself what kind of man do I want to be? Their is so much pressure on men to act or behave a certain way that alot of guys just go the safe route and behave in a "watered down" manner. meaning they dont want to come off as too hard or too soft or too sensitive or too insensitive or too assertive or too timid, so they just do the bare minimum in order not to offend anyone (especially women). But what they dont realize is that by doing the bare minimum, they appear feminine or even emotional because their manly brain has been reprogrammed by society that in order to get ahead in life, you have to "give them what they want" even if that means sacrificing their manliness. IMO

I don't agree with crying over a world cup loss. Men should be more mentally stable than that.

Being a man has nothing to do with your hair or how you dress.

I think men who are overly concerned with masculinity are the insecure ones.

America pushing toward tolerance? What a travesty.

What does wearing tight jeans have to do with how manly you are? You're feeding in to what society tells you is right and wrong way too much. It's sad that you allow other peoples perceptions to define the world around you. Be yourself, and don't be afraid to. Who really cares what the next person thinks?

from what i know about suicide rates men are more goal orientated than women are, so a male who has set his mind to killing himself, more likely than a women will do ahead and do it. women on the other hand who contemplate suicide will think of a way to go out (giving them more reason not to do it) and in the least harmless way...if that makes any sense. women would try to kill themselves from an over dose for example and failing in their attempt, whereas men would choice something more gruesome such as a gun or rope (less likely to fail). also, from what I've read,  women would choose an overdose (something less shocking) over a bullet to the head, was because they didn't want to end up looking ugly on their death bed in front of their family and friends... as silly as that may sound i can see why they would say that. 

This. Women actually attempt suicide far more than men do. It takes a real manly man to blow his face off with a shotgun.

Womanly women shoot their  hearts
