   not a new meme. but just wanted to say this: it is okay for guys to be like this. i have male friends like this. we exist. we talk about our feelings and share our experiences.

   this does not mean we are women. just soft men. being soft is not a problem. it's an advantage in many cases.

     @thor @JoeGrowling soft is more how you handle stress than whether you express emotion. Soft people men quickly under pressure and let their emotions get the better of them. Hardening may make emotions less obvious to an outsider but it doesn't mean you never connect with people or express yourself emotionally.

     @JoeGrowling yeah but "soft man" or "gentleman" are established terms that have been around for a long time

     @thor I wouldn't call it 'soft'. Men fall into repression of their emotions through fear, not being 'hard'.
