Sentimentality is susceptibility to feelings. The French word sentiment, which served as the basis for the Russian “sentimentality,” is translated: feeling. Sentimentality, that is, the ability to experience feelings and succumb to them, is characteristic of men no less than women, but it manifests itself in them in a completely different way.

Step 1
More often than not, people judge whether a person is sentimental by how they behave. But what a person feels is no less important. And here lies an important difference between the sexes: men try to restrain their feelings, while women do not hesitate to openly demonstrate them. A man thinks that shedding a tear if he is touched will be a manifestation of weakness, but for a woman this is a common thing.
Step 2
Testosterone - a male hormone - allows representatives of the strong half of humanity to control the manifestation of their feelings. Of course, no hormones can defeat feelings or cope with them, but it is possible to help cope with their manifestations. Therefore, even if a man's face looks impenetrable, a real storm can be created in his soul. But not the fact that he will ever tell you about it.
Step 3
Another feature of the male psyche is that they think much less about feelings than women. Indeed, in order to show emotions, it is important to be aware of them and pay attention to them in your thoughts. Women do it willingly. Feelings, emotions and relationships with people are very exciting for them, like an interesting game. Therefore, the beautiful half of humanity is devoted to relationships with a head, girls think: “Why doesn't he call? How does he feel? What is he thinking about? And men sometimes themselves do not realize what is happening to them. The mood became elevated, joy at the sight of a certain girl … Why would it be?
Step 4
From childhood, a man is taught to hide and hide his feelings, so even boys with a gentle sensitive character are forced to "match" the male image. The stronger sex must be strong. "Softness and sentimentality are not acceptable, otherwise what kind of man am I?" - so they think. At the same time, in men, such character traits as softness, tenderness and subtlety of perception are very common, about as often as in women. They are just used to hiding emotions because they consider them "unmanly".
Step 5
If your man is sentimental and may even burst into tears when watching a sad movie with you, that means you are in luck. Those men who know how to sympathize and empathize, who do not consciously block these emotions, are able to understand not only their woman, but also other people around them.
Step 6
The manifestation of sentimentality is sometimes a real problem for men, but women in part themselves contribute to this state of affairs. Many of them want to have a kind of superman nearby, who is not afraid of anything and is always strong. But real living people are not like that. Therefore, you cannot reproach your man if he shows signs of humanity. For exactly the same reasons, if your son is crying, you cannot forbid him to do so, saying that real men do not cry.
