I don’t think it is manly, not if it’s directed at a woman. One could consider it bullying, depending on the situation of course. I think it can depend on the situation joe ... but I much prefer a man who is more self aware and knows how to positively resolve conflict . ... like withholding sex

no apology necessary . Soceity does have some old fashioned attitudes about genders and emotions . That is slowly changing .. men can embrace their softer sides Wimps sounds like a great opportunity to lick a man's tears and make him feel better

Good point, hide the viagra

Why would you consider the cause being a failure to agree on something? It is far more common to be out of frustration with the incompetence of someone. When you have to deal with someone who is supposed to know what they are doing but can't get it done, that frustration tends to explode.

Is it considered manly for a man to have a temper tantrum ??? what is the best way to help him cope I often watch how a man reacts .. and his reaction tells me a lot about his character and coping skills . If a woman has a temper tantrum is she being manly or just stupid ? Its not manly just stupid.

watching the reactions to various situations is a telling personality indicator.. how they handle their anger, their frustration... a telling indicator if that type of 'behaviour' is so unattractive...NEXT.

No, having a "temper tantrum" or a "hissy fit" is not manly. Controlled, focused, cold-blooded retribution is.

Behaving like that regularly is not manly, it's childish. But even the manliest men get to indulge in a childish outburst now and then without losing too many man points. It's not healthy to keep it inside and we all have a breaking point.

No It is not a manly thing to do. Imo I had a experience of that just a few weeks ago! It was a man friend talking too his friend. He later apologize to me for making a fuss in front of me. From then on, I thought, he definitely wouldn't be the one for me.

Temper Tantrums are a sign of weakness of emotion. Its not manly to have any tantrum. I have known men that are insecure and narcissistic as an over-compensating redirect. I see men that do not have control of their emotions as weak and untrustworthy. I don't want to be around them at all, even when they are appearing normal. I lived with a "mad all the time" man (BIL) that had tantrums and was very loud. Even he knew to control himself in public but at home, Mr Hyde came out. To me, that is psychological abuse. Nobody should have to walk on eggs living with pins & needles afraid the slightest thing might set them off an a vicious tantrum.

Hiya tom :-). curious .. what happened to bil ?? Certainly sounds challenging . I thnk Tantrums mostly equate to Emotional distress often combined with poor coping mechanisms .. I guess that could be viewed as an emotional weakness .
