The world expects women to be deeper, not men.. I get what you are saying though.

The depth of women's thoughts and emotions are undeniable. Anyone who has been with a good quality woman who is not shallow in a relationship, or a good friendship will be able to clearly see that.

As for us men we are taught at a very young age to hide our emotions. Never to reveal our depth, because that is a sign of weakness. The ones that you see today that are over emotional and appear to be deep. That is many times the soy, or lack of a strong father figure in their lives while growing up talking.

While I do agree with you that it is fucked up sounding thing to state this double standard. So many times the depth of men is misunderstood, or unrecognized. This has happened to me by both my own father, the woman I love, many past female relationships, countless friendships, and so many others too.

Sometimes the long periods of silence and contemplation that we men have is filled with random thoughts. Like hey I am hungry and I could use a beer. Other times we are pondering about the very true nature of our own existence. Feeling infinite sorrow and anxiety of how our time is always running out.

While I truly believe many women who are not shallow, such as yourself, experience very much the same thoughts and emotions. Many men would agree with me that our depth is more often misunderstood and unrecognized by both women and especially our own peers. Many times if we talk about this stuff to one another we will get called gay and get a nut tap with a golf club for good measure. Even though we know deep down what each other are talking about. We are just many times not conditioned to admit such things to anyone, but ourselves.

This is the point I am trying to get across. There is always exceptions to every assumption. Yet pattern recognition is a thing. This is genuinely how I feel many times throughout my entire life. Wherein my depth is misunderstood and unacknowledged by those closest to me as a man.
