Depends on the feeling, and the extend to how much you show.
Wrong they use a headbut, but yours is close enough.Sir Broccoli said:
A real man doesn't have feelings
Seriously though, it doesn't really matter.
A real man will do what he wants, and doesn't care what others will say/think. If he feels like expresses his emotions, he can. If he doesn't want to, he doesn't have to

No human can bottle their emotions up without serious psychological trauma.
Most "Men" you see in movies and whatnot, deal with their emotions in some other way: drinking, violence, etc.
A real man hunts down his emotions and kills them all until he is left with a cold harsh wasteland with nothing else but himself, a stool, and a never-ending bottle of Irish Whiskey.

Being manly is about confidence.
A confident man has emotions, but doesn't feel the need to express or justify them other than where and when appropriate. Likewise he doesn't feel pressured to hide his feelings for fear of how it will reflect on him. A confident man takes ownership of his feelings - they aren't something that run away from him or that need to be harshly suppressed - and thus he is manly.

Its manly to deal with them. I prefer alone if were shooting for manliness as going crying to others always feels far less masculine to me but it does depend. You have to recognise your own weakness and if you can't deal with it alone don't bottle it up, you have to work towards manliness rather than covering your ears and declaring your already there and don't need anybody. If you can deal with it alone, you don't always need to. You can use others in the confidence you could do without but it is your decision to let them in.
Manliness lies in the balance. You must be strong enough to allow yourself weakness, but never out of weakness.

I believe all of you that are giving the cliched answer saw the "answer" before and it felt like posting it here, Use your own thoughts and opinions not someone Else's that is provided, this discussion is for thought not easy "I found the answer on the "interwebs". Thinking for yourself, please learn what that means. The people who bottle it up aren't this "Mask of evil" that represents every "durr" man in society and that the people who blast it out like if they feel mild discomfort aren't "wimps" or to be seen as them. People have problems, some people are born with them, others the environment screws with them (not fallout style 
) , and some have dug such a deep hole they can't get out.
Simple as one sentence, Don't judge people by these things before you get to know them, you have no clue what they're going through.

A true man does both. A true man must know who to share his emotions with and who to hide them from; for he who knows a man's innermost feelings knows how to cause ruin in that man.
You got me kinda confused here... I think that I just did. As with everything else this is my subjective opinion.Tiscolfo said:Who say's its more manly?Sharalon said:Expressing emotions is more manly, however I'm not very good at this so I guess I'm not really a man...
I'm sorry if I didn't answer your question properly.
Yeah, that was pretty much what I was going to say.Jordi said:
By the traditional definition of manly, at least, it is not manly. Honestly, I think this whole 'expressing your feelings is manly' movement is just an attempt to artificially change the standards of what's manly.
You could argue that expressing your feelings doesn't make you less manly, but it certainly doesn't make you more manly.
