Well ma I can only speak for me and maybe those that'll relate to my comments, I dont have a problem opening up to my woman, cause I'm an open person and I'm very expressive when it comes to my feelings, BUT with that said I'm more cautious now than I was before based on the fact I've been that open and have gotten hurt numerous times for that reason. Men dont really open up because they wanna seem weak or by society's standards as not as manly cause they open up. I dont care about all that I open up to people I have a comfort level with. Another thing, if he not opening up to YOU, maybe it's cause you're not his main girl

I would rather have a guy who just doesn't say what he feels, because, in reality, I just could give a damn... I don't talk about crap to a dude, and he doesn't talk about crap to me...I'd rather just sit there, crack jokes to each other, share 3 bags of Doritos, and not "share feelings"... some people just don't prefer the mush...

I think guys like to play games. They say us women talk to much but we keep it real. If we got mad that Lisa looked at you too long we gonna say something about it. Men just sit back and compound thier feelings. Do you ever wonder why there is more males in jail then females ????

Honestly it's hard for guys to open up to girls because one they feel vulnerable telling our feelings and two some girls play some serious games with guys. I know I don't want to put myself out there and get rejected everytime I do. I know a lot of guys will agree with me when I say we rather wait until we know the girl likes us before we open up to them, but that can be hard to tell. Some of the girls I've dealt with will flirt with you constantly as if they like you, but in reality they are just playing games. The girl that said guys play games got it all wrong. Guys will be straight up with their feelings if they think it's the right time and right girl. But because a lot of girls play games so much I don't know what the right time is or if a girl really likes me or if she's just leading me on. :cry:

My man opens up at the right moments I don't need to hear it all the time but somehow he knows the right time. Only thing is he doesn't have a problem saying it his problem is showing it. He shows affection don't get me wrong but I mean like little things you know flowers or a flower, I am the one who does the showing and less telling. To me its harder to tell him in his face. But I'll leave little love notes/poems. Just to make him smile.

Yeah I feel you...since I'm doing the long distance thing...I'll be quick to leave a "I Miss You" on the voice mail but can't do it while he's on the phone. Or when he is around...I can just look at him with so much stuff flowing through my mind...but I can't say it. He's very affectionate..but I think he could open up a little more...but again our relationship is fairly new. I don't think he will ever be the type to front in front of his boys because he doesn't really care about what others think...but as far as flowers and those little mushy gifts that ladies love...yeah he could use some help in that department.

I think its good for a boy to open up to his girl but there is a time and a place for everything. Now telling me how you feel about me is cool or letting me know when i do something that you dont agree wit. But all the little stuff you can keep to yourself , cause then I am going to think you are soft. For example my ex came over, near tears cause his cousin broke his leg, and he tripping like he will never walk again :? Thats something he could have kept to himself.

Guys prefer to keep to themselves. And it is hard to open up because they aren't usually open. But I prefer to keep it real and stay open with the guy from the get go. And if he wants the relationship to work, he will have to do the same. It is not always easy to open up but it makes you more comfortable around that person.

I'm open from tha get go.....you gotta be real....that is tha best way not to hurt anybodies feelings......or at least do it and not fel bad about it.....if I'm real about something and tha female makes a decision to keep going in tha direction she wants to go or do what she wants and if she gets hurt....that is on her cause I was real about how I felt from tha jump....women be always trying to change a brotha....just my 2 cents mik
