Men + Emotions. Is it a NO! NO?



Do men have emotions or do they just have a great way of hiding it?
Women have been known to openly show their emotions since time immemorial. They just find it hard to hide it. I for example am an open book! Can’t hide when am angry or extremely happy. But men are a different book altogether.  Sometimes you can barely tell whether they are happy or sad. It’s even hard to decipher what their feeling are sometimes.

Unlike everyone else, I believe men have emotions too. They just have different ways of showing or not showing them. When a man is extremely sad, they will cry on the inside.(something to do with the ego or something like that) but a woman will wail so loudly.(The Naija women are experts in this, according to my Afrocinema days).

Ever seen the look on a man’s face when he holds his newborn child? (Well, one he has accepted to be his!). The smile on his face is heavenly. They are completely moved to a point they cannot hide it at all. They will not “oh my God!” while shaking their hands like women, but they will show it in a calm way. That right there is a moment to take one’s breath away. No matter how rough a man is, at that point in time, the roughness disappears and is replaced by calmness and caring hands that do not want anything bad to happen to the kid.

Do you still believe they have no emotions? Men, you should explain this further to women. I think we would really love to know how to interpret your emotions sometimes if not all the time.

To Believe or Not? Friend or Frenemy?

Should you trust your friend when they tell you your girlfriend or boyfriend is a fake? Should you consider it jealousy or do you go ahead and believe them? How do you handle the situation? James always kept an eye on his wife’s phone ever since his friend Timothy, told him he had spotted her in a compromising situation. He couldn’t divulge the details in case he was wrong but James was hell bent on finding the truth. He found nothing for the first two weeks and decided it was a bluff. He decided to surprise her and apologize for being such a dick the past two weeks. He got some beautiful flowers, got out of work some minutes before lunch and got to her workplace. He sat at a cafe just opposite their offices and called her up. Susan, his wife claimed to be so busy she couldn’t head out for lunch. A disappointed James got into his car and was about to head out of the parking lot when he spotted Susan get into a car right outside the office.  Out of curiosity, he f...

What Am I Doing With My Life?

There are times when everything in your life seems not to be working out. Times when nothing you touch turns to Gold. And at that point in life, the question “What am I doing with my life?” seems like a tune you can’t get out of your head. Img source:http://www.wisestep.com/ You start questioning your sanity. Questioning how you made everything go wrong. Questioning God on the fate of your life. Blaming yourself. Blaming everyone else. Blaming the system. Blaming your life’s choices. Choices that seemed right at the time of making. Choices that have now brought you to this predicament. Choices you cannot go back and undo. And the question lingers on: what am I doing with my life?” “My life” encompasses many things. Could be a job that’s not working for you. You have no idea what the future and your job have in common. You feel stuck. When everyone else seems busy and enjoying themselves in the office, you are busy counting the hours till close of office. You have been apply...

Appreciating Life

The real tragedy in life is not loosing your job, your fiancee or money. No,the real tragedy is not appreciating life itself. Being grateful that you are alive and kicking. That both your arms and legs are working and though you have no ability to throw the Javelin like Julius Yego, you still have the use of your hands. Though you can not run as fast as Kipchoge, you can walk to work if Kenya turned to Uganda. That you can appreciate both the rising and going down of the sun. That you not only can tell what color is green you can see it. The ability to enjoy full health except for the frequent cold bouts that come and go. The ability to have a place to sleep. The ability to swing or drag yourself out of bed every morning without any pain. And even though you have no closet full of new clothes and shoes at least you do not walk in tatters. Though you have no figure 8 like size 8, you have no deformities on any part of your body. We forget to thank God for all this blessings He has g...
