A male should never tell to most females and even males about his emotional/social issues......

A female can, and she will get at least some empathy in return from males and females alike.

A male (who's telling the same issues as the female) shouldn't , males will verbally pity him and females will pity him in silence by avoiding him.

I don't know that this is a hard and fast rule. You should refrain from too much self pitying whinging and complaining, but there's no harm in discussing your problems with a sympathetic woman in a reasonably adult way.

I am talking about ......

well , a concrete example.

A: Hi, how do you feel?

M: I dunno , I feel a bit confused and lost. I am kinda depressed.... bla bla bla bla ...

*A will try to run away*


M should have said , "Fine , fine".

Are you sure you're not an aspie?

You should save the heavy stuff for people you know you can really talk to. Idle chit chat and social pleasantries should not consist of a litany of your woes.

Of course, the keyword in my prior post is 'sympathetic'.

I am agnostic about this matter. Why you are asking this?

I think this advices is the opposite of what it should be. Even most males? No, no male wants to hear about your problems. You'll lose more women by not having feelings and being heartless than anything. Ask me how I know, I dare you.

Aspnostic?

The way you wrote that conversation made me think of people who actually tell people how they are when asked 'how are you'. But looking more carefully, I see you actually wrote 'how do you feeel', so I might be reading in. 'How do you feel' is a less usual thing to say in everyday conversation.

oh....well, I do reply this question as it is "HOW are you?".

But still, this isn't an enough autistic trait.
