Men who act saccharine. (1 Viewer)

Does it weird anyone else out when they see/hear/read men saying saccharine things to their significant other, friends or family... I mean intimacy is one thing, but constantly needing a hug or a kiss on the forehead seems a bit weird to me. Perhaps I am too closed off. Do any of you feel a similar way?

I don't really notice this on others (at least it takes me some time to notice this behavior), but I, personally, don't tend to act this way. I guess I understand what you mean but some people are just more "sentimental"? I mean it is not like I am not it's more like I don't show it, I don't show my feelings but it's not on purpose ~lmao. And some others tend to be more as you said.
It doesn't weird me out tho, I just see that people are different... I guess

It depends if you feel like it is "forced" or natural..If it feels natural you won't feel uneasy. And then there's that silly social norm that men don't have to show too much their emotions or their feelings because they are men (and strong...they cannot be "weak"). It can also explain why you feel uneasy (because you"re not used to see it)

I am someone who get‘s kinda emotional or sentimental so I do get people needing kisses or hugs. But as someone stated above it shouldn’t feel forced and shouldn’t be over the top.

But it does seem like if that's not the case, it's because of how we were raised.

Probably true for me.. I was raised by amazonian women who didn't show emotion that much.

Is it okay when women do this? If yes, why, if no, why?
