Why do most girls only express their emotions?

That's a question I've wondered my whole life. I've been reading some of these articles on this site. And I only came across one that a guy wrote. Thank god. I don't want to be the only one. That's kind of pathetic right? But anyway, most of the articles are written by girls? Why? I still have failed of finding the answer. Its a silly question, but hey, I'm curious.

I can write about my emotions, but I do not know what to write about. Again, sad and pathetic. I can't even write about my emotions. I'm 13 and dated a lot of girls, but I was never truly happy. But I'm young, and full of life. Love is a delicate thing and can be easily damaged.

So can anyone answer my two questions:

1. Why do most girls only express their emotions?
2. What can I write about that has to do with my emotions?

Why? Why? Why?

actually thats not always true. We dont show it because many girls, not all, but many tend to mock us. The stereo type for us is to be all strong and tough when realistically not all of us are. We just are very very good actors=)

Because usually guys want to seem strong and protective of their girl.

It's not because we express our emotions that we're the dominant gender (population wise) on this site. It's the awful cliche gender line that was crossed centuries ago: guys can't show emotions. Period. Sure, they can be the brave hero, but they can't cry at a beautiful poem. Because society made it that way. Maybe if you could show more guys how to express, then everything would be a lot less ocnfusing.
