I do think that a LOT of males are uncomfortable about talking about their feelings. I'll give one really good example of me and my friend at school.
In maths we often talk about stuff like that, and how different our attitudes are towards it. He finds it strange that I wouldn't have sex with some random stranger (even if there was no way my girlfriend would find out) and I find it strange that he says he would.
He also finds it strange that I actually say that I love my girlfriend to other people than her. To him it seems like something you just say to make someone happy without actually meaning it.
I find it hard to believe that he truly thinks that... but maybe he does, I dunno. I'll never understand his way of thinking. But the point is, stereotypically teenage guys are supposed to be like that and most people just live up to that.
Oh well I don't care about conforming to the stereotype, I know that my life is much better living as me. And if that makes me any less manly, then...
PFFT!
