For some strange reason, Many people do not think that men need affection too. Truth be told, this may be as a result of the very behavior and attitude that many men display regarding those feelings. After all, men are supposed to be these strong beast like creatures who are bereft of emotions, sensitivity, warmth, and certainly do not have the capacity to exhibit affection.
It has been established that men do have the capacity to not only show love but also accept love and affection from women other than their mother’s. Even so, there is an ironic twist, for there are some people who actually frown upon and even forbid men to show any form of love and affection from others. “Don’t be a fool man, don’t make her know that you love her, don’t show her any affection, for she will walk all over you.”
So the man suppresses his feelings, and the sad cycle of a life devoid of love and affection continues to hang over his head, as he walks around bereft of those feelings, never allowing himself to be caught up in those emotions that he thinks will expose his vulnerability.
Vulnerability is crucial, for a man can never expose his underbelly, he must learn never to show his weakness, let anyone know that he has an Achilles heel, a tender spot, a chink in his armour that women may exploit. So he puts on his cloak of invincibility, envelops himself in a shroud of invulnerability that no one can penetrate, for he is man, and he is impregnable,
.There are men who refuse to show any form of love and affection for fear of being considered weak. They will never kiss their woman, give her a hug.
Sometimes his feelings and actions are misunderstood, misread, and every time that he approaches his women for a little bout of affection, her response is, “Is what yu want eh?”
No, no, all he wants is a cuddle. A cuddle? It has been documented that there are men who will spend time with prostitutes, not for sex, but just to hug and talk. “Sex workers reveal most shocking requests from men.” One such worker said that a client expressed this, “Don’t worry I’ll pay you for your time, just let me stay here and you hug me.”
. To take it even further, a man is not allowed to display any form of love and affection towards another man, for if he does, he’s immediately deemed to be gay.
Instead, men fist or elbow bump and say, “Nuff love man.” But not encouraged to hug and show affection for another man, for that is taboo, except of course, when sports is involved, for sports is the great exception to the rule, the release, the catharsis that allows big strong muscular men to embrace each other..
Not only do they do so, but they display it in public too, in full view of millions of people, as they run and leap into each other’s arms, hug and kiss, embrace and caress and even jump on top of each other after a goal is scored in a football match.
This display of love and affection transcends all taboo, dispels all myths about being gay, and shows men at their most sensitive, as they display true love towards each other
Why is this so, and why are women allowed to show love towards each other but men cannot?
In many countries, men hug and kiss each other on the cheek when they greet each other or when saying goodbye. This occurs in many European and Middle Eastern countries.
Do woman want men to show them more love and affection? And conversely, are there men who just want a hug and kiss from their women, a tender show of affection?
It’s a secret desire of many men, although there are some who are resistant to that.
Hug and kiss your woman, tell your bredrin that you love him, even with a fist bump and hug, for men need love and affection too.
