I don’t dig men who hide their emotions behind a manly mask

I’m no expert on men and relationships. But what I do know is that the men who have been in my life were, sadly, not in touch with their feelings. I have seen them give a wide berth to said topic, skirting around or absolutely refusing to have conversations about feelings.

One even claimed alpha males don’t do sh*t like that.

I’m a full-time macho man: Giphy

Another guy I used to know was so into “How to Build the Perfect Relationship” books that he approached relationships, well, like a book. He was constantly lecturing me on how the relationship gurus he worshipped defined what a perfect relationship should look like.

I think the poor guy was so terrified of failure that he never saw the trees for the forest. He never realized his fear for what it was and still hasn’t, last I heard.

Yet, another example of a guy who is reluctant to talk about feelings can be observed from the following conversation:

She: “Babe, you are not listening to me.”
