This is kinda sad. I’m sorry you’ve only met woman that have felt that way. I know women that are attracted to those that do in fact express themselves.
I personally want someone that expresses all emotions/feelings. I want to know when he’s angry, frustrated, annoyed, happy, excited etc., whatever it may be. Of course we all (men and women) need to choose healthy ways to express ourselves, but nobody is perfect.

Men don't say much to express themselves for they are men of action. They show their loving kindness thru actions mostly. But some women are desperate for words because they are more emotional. Some men will just give in for the sake of peace and harmony but for others it becomes a source of frustration for both men and women.

I do believe that is important for men to express what he feel. On my past relationship, i found it hard to understand or realized what my ex bf want because he didn't express himself. And in the end it led me fed up. I can't empathy to how he feel, and it makes me feel useless. He kept everything himself. whenever i asked, seems like he always said okay, and think by himself. I felt like he made some wall between us. So yes, i do believe that men need to express more, to tell more, so the relationship can grow together.

Absolutely -- It is important for both parties to have an honest relationship. God doesn't want anybody to bottle everything up. God wants honesty and transparency -- which will make your relationship even stronger. Even more important than that is to ensure that God is the center of your life and your relationship.

I'm pretty surprised by some of the things I read in these forums. Women's opinions aren't respected, men are taught to not express themselves. I feel like I'm reading stuff from 40 years ago. I'm not seeing any of this in the real world -- or in these forums.
I am a man. Or, at least I'm trying to make a good show of it. And, I'm very expressive, open, transparent. Perhaps to a fault. I have no problem saying how I feel. In fact, I had the opposite problem with my late wife, who refused to open up when I wanted or needed her to. Drove me nuts, because I never had any problem laying it out on the table.
