The Big game is over, now what?

After the superbowl many guys feel adrift until the promise of March madness brings another huge sporting event to focus on.  Why is it that is is so hard for most men to talk about things not sports related?  If we can be passionate about our favorite team, what keeps us from opening up about other things?  A lot of it is social conditioning, it is what we grew up with.  We can’t pin it all on this though.  I think that most men believe expressing emotions is too effeminate.  On the contrary, the more you emote, the more you are able to be comfortable with who you are.  This doesn’t seem to be the prevailing view, but most partners appreciate the ability of their significant other to let them in on how they really feel.

Now, I have to go to work on my brackets for the big dance…..
