re: For OT men, do you hold emotions?

I don't think holding their emotions in is the problem with these guys. They are just fricking nuts.
My ex always said that I was a robot. No emotions, never get worked up about anything. I just tell her I'm logical and would rather figure out a solution to a problem than freaking out. Me being calm was supposed to be what would calm her down, but it just made her more irrational.

I’ve been told it makes us more attractive.
If a girl can’t figure out where your head is. It will drive her crazy, in a good way.

I'm the same way. Everyone I know that smokes weed says I don't need to smoke because I'm the calmest person they've met. I don't smoke.

That's true with either gender. Obviously there are situations where being emotional is not warranted.

why is it the general consensus that men who don't bottle up all emotions and let things fester are soft?
Did I suggest that?
I simply pointed out that there is a world of difference between being more in touch with your emotional side than many of our Dads and grandfathers may have been (mine were from the 1930's and early 1900's respectively), and being a whiny bitch. It's not being open with your emotions that does that, it's how you do it.
Being able to love and grieve are not inherently weak features, and the ability to feel those are great and not being ashamed of others seeing it is genuinely a strength in most cases. Wallowing in any of it, in my opinion, is where the problems lie and where far too many of today's "men" are residing. It breeds weakness and an inability handle real world tough situations when they arise.
I tell people what I think...I don't generally bottle up anything. I also don't unload my problems onto others for the sake of unburdening myself. I have a pretty good sense of what makes me tick, and I tend to work through those problems so that they don't fester. So when I AM emotional, it carries weight because it's real.

I can be emotional when it is logical to do so.
Works with empathy too.

Used to, having a kid pass away and the other kids being awesome people have made me soft.

30s
A Romanian girl told me that in a bar in Jackson Hole. It was both a complaint, and a compliment, in her words.
I’m very direct and logical. But I’m not openly emotional.

Like most, it is easier to hold some more than others. I don't hold back true anger very well.

I gotta admit, I am very emotional in dealing with my kids and grandkids. If they get sick, or are having a hard time, I get sick.

I'm just glad we have the OT where we can be free to express our innermost emotions and not be judged but supported in a nurturing and reassuring manner...and then be told by the same poster that they are sleeping with our wives/mothers/GFs/sisters.

If I had all these gay arse emotions that kids nowadays have, yeah, I’d keep them inside. Luckily I only have happy, angry and horny, and I let them out as needed to get what I want.

It’s never good to hold your emotions I gotta let them out or they become to much to handle. Even if it’s just a cry or a walk somewhere it’s ok to show vulnerability. Men can be tough but gentle at the same time
