The state of being emotional according to the dictionary is having strong feelings that are easily excited and openly displayed. This can be a passionate, anger, excitable, temperamental or a melodramatic feeling.
Sometimes it is stereotypical to say women are more emotional than men, but the picture in most relationships feed this stereotype. It is common knowledge that men can repress or hide their feelings or just basically deal with it while a woman wants to let it out to feel better (there are some exceptions). However, this is not to say that men are not emotional. The dynamics of relationship also affects the way emotions play out.
Men are known for trying to hide their feelings and this gives the impression that they are not as emotional as women are. However, if you look deeply, it will be seen that men are just as emotional as women. For men, showing emotions appears to be a sign of weakness and they will rather hide under the shadows of being a 'strong' man than allow a woman think they are weak. IT IS NOT ABNORMAL OR WRONG TO BE EMOTIONAL AS A MAN.

Women on the other hand, find it hard to supress or hide their feelings. They will rather say it than keep it. However, when they do not get the support they need emotionally from men, they try to chuck up their emotions and act strong. Some also use their sharp mouth (LOL) as an adaptation not to be perceived as weak.
Clearly, a woman is dfferent from a man and her expression of emotions and feelings differ from that of a man. She is not like a man and does not have to be like him. The mistake some men make is that they expect a woman to handle things like they do but this cannot work because you are not in a competition with the woman. Let me just point here that a relationship is not and was never meant to be a competition. It is two different people with different characteristics coming together to express love and affection.

As a man, you need to love her and care about her emotions. Whenever she expresses emotions, allow her and do not judge her. As a woman, do not express shock when a man shows emotions, he is allowed to and this should not be a problem for you (even though he rarely does).
This is a call for men to develop the skills to meet the woman’s emotional needs and for women to understand that men also have emotional needs. Be emotionally available for him/her. Emotions reveal the state of the heart and how one responds to this, goes a long way in sustaining the connection to your partner and maintaining peace in your relationship.
Like a snail, be a strong shell shelter and never expose your delicate part. She would do the same for you when you need her and he would do same when you need him.

So are women more emotional than men? I would say they are both emotional beings that express it in different ways.
Please kindly let us know what you think
