Representatives of the strong half of humanity almost always hide their true experiences, emotions and feelings . But why does this happen and what prevents men from demonstrating their true attitude to certain events, people and objects? 

It just so happened that men for the most part try to carefully disguise, hide their own feelings. From childhood, parents put into the little boy’s head the idea that men are strong, men should never cry, men should always have high endurance and calmness. Because of this, already an adult youth, a young man and a mature man hides not only negative, but also positive emotions. For example, when it is necessary to demonstrate love for a woman they like, they give up and do not say those tender words that should be said.

Many of us women do not understand why they behave this way. A man’s unwillingness to show emotions is caused by several reasons.

Top reasons men hide their feelings and emotions

The main reason that a man hides his own feelings and emotions is the unwillingness to demonstrate his own weakness. Yes, yes, representatives of the male half of society consider the manifestation of feelings a symbol of weakness, which is inherent only in women. Men hide all their experiences inside themselves, and outwardly mask their experiences with the help of excessive harshness, rudeness and insolence . This behavior jeopardizes relationships with women they truly love.

There are several more reasons why men hide their feelings and experiences:

1. Unwillingness to lose personal freedom. Of course, subconsciously men want to be close to their beloved, but the fear of becoming a puppet in her hands makes them tough and cynical. 

2. Realizing that he is not indifferent to the woman next to him, a man may deliberately show coldness and move away from his beloved in order to maintain interest in his own person. He may even completely stop maintaining a relationship with a woman attractive to him. With such behavior, he only fuels in his beloved the desire to constantly think about him, all the time to return to attempts to restore the lost communication with him. Many of the men believe that by showing frankness in feelings and emotions, they make themselves very vulnerable, and this quality does not paint them at all as representatives of the strong sex. 

Interesting! Men actually experience a huge range of different emotions and feelings, but they don’t show most of them.

3. Public rejection of male weakness. Ever since childhood, young boys are constantly taught that they should be men, strong and independent, should not cry and complain about life. a real man is confident, strong, staunch, has a high degree of rationality, independence. It is society that imposes certain stereotypes of behavior on a man, requiring him to forget about sentimentality, sensitivity and gentleness of character. All these qualities are inherent in the female half of humanity, and men should not have them. 

Important! Many young guys and mature men attribute their own love to a manifestation of weakness, so they try in every possible way to hide it, disguise it.

4. Women often complain that their admirer does not openly show feelings of falling in love with them. It is unclear whether the young man is really in love, or whether the current relationship for him is meaningless flirting. Shyness plays a cruel joke with males, destroying the image of a strong, courageous and decisive conqueror in women’s eyes. Often, young people hide their love not only from the girl they like, but also from relatives, friends and close people. They simply do not want to look like a weakling in the eyes of their relatives, not wanting to be considered henpecked. At the same time, men do not take any steps towards their beloved, do not call her, do not write love messages. Women get nervous because of this, constantly check their personal mail and SMS on the phone, make silly guesses. It is extremely difficult for them to understand what logic the representatives of the stronger sex are guided by, why they put on a mask of indifference, why don’t they even try to tell them about their love? 

Perhaps they just don’t know how to love? No, this is something else. Despite the fact that the young man almost never describes his preparations for a romantic evening with his beloved to friends and relatives, he looks very serious and callous outwardly, a storm of passions is boiling in his soul, and his ardent heart is bursting with love. And he hides all this behind feigned indifference and principle

“The less we love a woman, the more she likes us …”.

5. On a subconscious level, a man is afraid of getting closer to his beloved woman, because he thinks that he will become dependent on her in all plans. Naturally, no representative of the stronger sex will directly say such information. His cherished dream may be to spend every free minute of his own time with his beloved, but at the same time during the next call, the man will say that the meeting will not take place due to his strong employment. Most likely, such behavior will indicate that the man simply does not want to rush things, and fear lives inside him that his beloved will begin to manipulate him. Yes, yes, men often keep their distance in relations with the fair sex because they do not want to become a puppet in their hands. Moreover, this fear extends to sexual relations. 

6. Men understand as well as women that the less information about their personality is known, the more interesting it will be to communicate with them. And therefore, often the strong half of the world of mankind assumes a kind of aura of secrecy in order to warm up interest in their personality. 

Interesting! Most men behave deliberately coldly with their other half, because they believe that it is not words, but actions that paint a person.

7. Women should not be offended by their chosen one if he shows coldness in a relationship. He cannot constantly tell you about his love, it is much easier for him to demonstrate his feelings in actions and actions. It is in them that the true attitude of the stronger sex towards you is noticeable. This behavior is quite justified, because a man does not want to seem vulnerable and weak, it is more important for him to demonstrate to you that he can be a support. Real men prove their care and love with actions, and not with empty words. Take a closer look at the behavior of your faithful. If he immediately rushes to your home with medicines immediately after he finds out about your illness; if he remembers the most important dates for you and constantly gives gifts for them; if he takes care of your health and makes sure that on a cold autumn (winter) day you put on a warm hat and scarf – you can be sure that this man really loves you. It is the care and active participation in solving the problems of a woman that is the main confirmation of the sincerity of feelings (and indeed, their presence) on the part of the stronger sex. 

8. Men are by nature as emotional as the fairer sex (and in some individual cases, the level of male emotionality even exceeds the female). The male sex is also afraid to become rejected, to hear rejection from his beloved. All this causes them severe pain, a lot of excitement and worries. In addition, representatives of the strong half of humanity need much more time to establish an emotional connection with their beloved. and if a break occurs in a relationship, then men sometimes experience it much more acutely and longer. But even hiding his own feelings, a man does not forget that along with such a personality quality as courage, kindness is also inherent in him, a desire to take care of loved ones,  

9. It is often difficult for a man to open up to even the closest person. Unlike women, who are used to expressing their own emotions and feelings violently, the male half of society, on the contrary, behaves with restraint and dryness. This very much offends their other half, the girl begins to consider her lover an insensitive blockhead, and often this situation ends with a complete breakdown in relations. Ladies just do not realize that it takes a guy much longer to decide on a frank conversation. In order to confess his love, a young man must be completely confident in his chosen one. And on the way to building trust, a woman must definitely help her beloved, sharing with him all her sorrows and joys. Gradually he will learn to do the same. It is worth remembering that if a man really considers himself to be the stronger sex (without being a gigolo and mama’s son), then he will always strive to demonstrate his own power, strength and masculinity. 

What should a woman do if a man hides his feelings?

If a woman suspects (or clearly notices) that her young man is hiding her own feelings, then, first of all, she should forget about constant questioning. They will only bore her beloved.

Remember that if your young man really loves you, he will definitely tell you about it, after a while, of course, but he will. The strange behavior of a young man in love with you should be treated with patience and understanding. And then, it is better to turn your attention to the fact that a man takes an active part in solving your problems and troubles, takes care of you, constantly shows signs of attention. This will be clear proof of his love feelings and their sincerity.

Interesting! Men for the most part are proud of their belonging to the stronger sex, therefore they try in every possible way to correspond to the status, and it is for this purpose that they hide their true feelings in relation to their beloved woman.

Don’t be surprised if your beloved is cold with you. His actions will tell you more than words.

Features of the behavior of men who hide their feelings

It is not difficult to understand that a man is hiding his own feelings and emotions, because it will be clear from his behavior. He just doesn’t show his own feelings.

Important! The more experienced and older a man is, the more skillful will be his emotional deception in relation to his beloved woman.

Many representatives of the stronger sex are amazingly able to control themselves, even if their hearts are torn to shreds from love. They will not openly flirt with the lady they like, give explicit verbal hints (as the weaker sex does). Of course, a man will remain a man until the very end, but at the same time his behavior will change in the same way as it changes in a person who wants to hide something, trying to be not himself.

• One of the striking examples of the typical behavior of a man in love is one that belongs to childhood. Remember how a boy in a kindergarten or at school constantly tugs at the girl he likes by the pigtail, composes offensive nicknames for her. The girl is offended by this behavior, but it is this behavior that indicates that the boy likes this particular young lady. In adult men, there is a similar attitude towards the one that they like. True, they will not pull her by the hair, but they will certainly show rudeness and aggressiveness towards her. A man can call his beloved a bad word, doubt her professional qualities, make a joke or a joke about her appearance, even push a lady of her heart. This behavior can be quite painful psychologically and physically for a vulnerable member of the fairer sex. This happens due to the fact that a man is simply not able to control the emotions bubbling inside him.
• Another option for a man to hide his true feelings and emotions is feigned indifference towards the female person he likes. If a man begins to feel attracted to a member of the opposite sex, then he may begin to avoid her. But he will keep his distance only outwardly. Finding himself, for example, at a corporate event with an object of passion, a representative of the stronger sex will constantly keep his beloved in his field of vision. For example, even when talking with another person, he will still look to his beloved.
• Some confusion in the behavior of a representative of the stronger sex often testifies to the concealment of one’s feelings for a woman. Being next to his beloved, a man loses the ability to think logically. Often in such a situation, they behave stupidly, they say all sorts of nonsense, a blush often appears on their cheeks. A man in love, in the presence of a lady of the heart, can nervously twirl the first object in his hands. Finally, the height of their confusion is an utterly embarrassed look, which he tries in every possible way to avert, but this turns out to be only for a short time. Sooner or later, the eyes still look towards the object of sighing.
• Wanting to hide his feelings and emotions, a man in love can go far enough. The manifestation of aggression or indifference, confusion and the manifestation of their excessive employment and enthusiasm. Desperate to hide his own emotions, a representative of the stronger sex may even pretend that he does not remember at all what he talked about with his beloved the day before. Although, in fact, a guy in love always knows exactly what was discussed a few months ago.

How men manage to hide their feelings

In order to hide his feelings for a woman, a representative of the strong half of humanity uses various methods. Here are the most popular ones:

1. Creation of a mask of a rude and courageous person. Outwardly, it looks like a man has turned into a thorny cactus that does not want to let anyone near him. But under this severity and feigned aggressiveness, there is a loving and very vulnerable nature, which needs help to open up. This disclosure of a man in love will not take place immediately, therefore it is worth being patient. A woman needs to take care of a man in love with her more often, pay more attention to him, and he will cease to be so aggressive and prickly.
2. Boasting. Wanting to hide his true feelings for his beloved, the man begins to tell stories that he has no end to his fans. Hearing this, do not rush to get upset. Most likely – in front of you is a typical representative of such heroes-lovers, who prefers to describe himself in the form of a macho, filling the price in the eyes of a woman. The ladies themselves are led to such a street, dreaming of getting a heartthrob and becoming for him exactly the one and only that he needs.
3. It often happens that a man appears before his love object in the form of an independent and decisive personality. He tries in every possible way to demonstrate that he cannot be controlled, and even more so – to indicate what and how to do. Guys absolutely do not want to admit that the fairer sex can have advantages in some way, be stronger and smarter than them.
4. Feigned indifference and indifference is another mask, a protective barrier used by many men in love. Of course, women sometimes find it difficult to be around such an individual, because they have to constantly guess about whether he really loves her. But patience is sometimes rewarded, and it may turn out that the long game was worth it. A loving husband and father of children will be next to you.
5. It often happens that a woman tries to put pressure on her beloved, push him around, command and constantly nag him. As a result, the young man is moving more and more away from her. Of course, because a man wants to stay strong and make decisions on his own. A woman just needs to let him do it, and nothing else. Then such problems will not arise.
6. The bully’s behavior can also indicate a man’s crush, which he wants to hide. With his daring and boorish actions, the guy just wants to attract the attention of his beloved, because he actually knows very well that many girls like bad boys. In fact, this rebel may well become a wonderful family man and a father for children in the future.
7. Among the common behaviors of men in love is the creation of a halo of mystery around their person. The guy does not tell his beloved a lot of information about himself, is in no hurry to acquaint her with friends and devote to his own plans. It is this method that helps a man in love to interest and intrigue the object of passion, to become attractive in the eyes of his beloved woman.
8. The manifestation of friendly attention to the woman he likes, which the man dreams of transferring to the path of love. At first, of course, he will look closely at his beloved, posing as her faithful friend, but in the end he will decide to confess his own feelings. It often happens that such friendly relations become a prerequisite for the birth of a happy and strong marriage.

As and, most importantly, why males hide their feelings, for many women remains a mystery. But to recognize a gentleman who is really in love with you, it is not at all necessary to have a lie detector. It will be enough just to have a little insight, the ability to observe a person and analyze his behavior. Surely this will help to recognize the motives of the chosen one’s actions and understand what’s what.
