That's not necessarily true. 2 of my ex boyfriends are whiny little bitches, while I'm just chill and laid back.

Boys and girls are different and have different functions in life. Girls are made to nuture, love, support, help, comfort...not to dominate...etc. Boys are made to run the show shall I say? Boys are tough..... . Putting this simple...woman is the influence, man is the action.

See girls are tender and they although they are phsically weaker than us boys, but on the contrary, God has made them a 1000 times mentall more active than us. Girls are able to produce emotions and react to a situation 2 times faster than boys and hence we call them being "more emotional". Otherwise, reality is that girls are much more mentally calm and composed then boys. They need to be handled with care and love and tender passions.

It comes from having a better memory. Emotions build on emotions. Emotions reflected on become themselves the seeds for other emotions. And remembering details evokes stronger emotional responses.. . Women remember more in the way of colors, content, relationships and contexts than men do. We are not talking mere facts here- facts are stripped of emotion mostly. What we are talking about is experiential memory. And women have it over men there. So, there is some innate biological difference in the making and retaining of memories going on. Is there an evolutionary reason for this? I don't know. Good question.

well girls are taught it's okay to show their emotional for the most part they aren't laughed at or whatever like boys are and it's in the genetics to be nurturing mothers so they're going to be more emotional for that reason too . and the hemispheres of their brains are connected together with more nerves so more thoughts are thought at once and in more places (to get different angles) and thoughts are not just limited to literal information, but emotions and feelings too, even the ways people move for example, so... I dunno. maybe she's born with it.. maybe it's maybeline

i guess this is bestowed by God.. from earlier times, men were inolved in the hunting for food & protection while the women folk were in cooking, raising a family.. this aspect gets them attached to their loved ones.. hence, they tend to get more emotional than goys.. moreover, even boys are emotional but since they are 'boys', they cant show it off that way.. thats how the male ego works.. while, it is expected of females to express thier emotions quite openly.. however, i see this trend is changing nowadays.. its getting the other way now!
