We are all human. There are times when a guy decides to be quiet. It could be that he’s uncomfortable discussing the issue, wants to remain private, or doesn’t want to come off as a jerk. When it comes to keeping quiet, here are 21 things that guys don’t say.

“The only things I don’t share are reactionary things that pop up in my head when I’m annoyed or upset. That’s not just for my wife but the world as a whole. Self-restraint is what helps us get along in this world.”
Emotional intelligence is a great characteristic.
I’m Not Talking

“You know how a lawyer will tell you that you should NEVER talk to the cops without counsel present if under arrest or being questioned? Because you might say something that will get you in trouble? I’ve found this is pretty good advice in everyday life. If you don’t say anything, nobody can hold it against you.”
Keeping quiet in most situations is a good strategy.
That’s Private

“I used to keep a diary and there would be sections where I collected lists about my girlfriend. Things she likes to say or do. One list would be ‘worst things she said to me.’ One day she read my list without my permission, of course, and was genuinely confused about most of the list. She didn’t remember saying those things, nor did she feel that way. I learned that when she was upset, she just said the most hurtful things she could think of. So the things I would never tell a woman are the hurtful things said to me.”
Journaling is a great outlet for emotions.
Mmmm, She’s Nice

Guys think it but never say it.

“How starved he is for compliments. Women suffer from an excess of unwanted attention. Men suffer from a lack of attention. There’s a saying that only women and children get valued and loved just by existing. Men have to work and provide value to be worthy of love. He wishes he could be loved for who he is, not for what he does and for providing.”
A guy won’t let on how much he longs to be complimented.
I Want to Be Your Star

“He secretly wishes he could be your hero and for you to appreciate him.”
Men want to feel like they are the champion in your life. However, they won’t ask you to acknowledge them as such.
You Don’t Need That

“I find you way more attractive without your make-up on, but I also understand it makes you feel more confident, and I don’t ever want to spoil that, so you’ll never hear me about it.”
If your guy thinks what you do is for your benefit, he won’t say anything to stop you.
You Don’t Want to Hear About That

“I know a couple that went through a stillbirth recently, which is heartbreaking and awful. My currently pregnant friend will never hear about that. She does not need that stress in her life.”
Men, to protect you from pain or stress, will decide what they want to share.
Not Guilty

“It was me who squeezed from the middle of the tube of toothpaste.”
A white lie can avoid a huge argument over something so small.
Why the Tears?

“We didn’t have something stuck in our eye; we were crying.”
That’s one thing guys will find hard to admit to.
You’re Always on My Mind

You Don’t Want to Know…

It’s My Money

Some guys want to have a little cash secretly stashed for their rainy day.
It’s Trivial

“Whatever they don’t need to know.”
Some things aren’t worth talking about. Not that we are condoning holding back things that can affect a relationship.
I’m Strong

“Personal problems that show weakness. Then again, does she like submissive guys with no backbone or not?”
Because men aren’t told that they aren’t to be weak and vulnerable.
What a Man Doesn’t Say Is Subjective

When a man decides not to tell you something, it’s due to his personal beliefs and values. There isn’t any malicious intent behind it.
Don’t try to force the man in your life to say something he isn’t willing or ready to tell you. Ask yourself what is it that you don’t say to your man and why?
Men and women aren’t that different, after all.
