Just read the starred text at the bottom...oops. Ignore my friendly critique about these being differences in personality more than simply sex or gender based ways to emote!

And I must say, again, wonderful list!

Interesting list! Very useful too, although based on the supposed differences between "male" and "female" emotions, I'm apparently a man, even though I'm female. :)

I do realize you're going for generalizations here, and of course women and men are socialized to express emotions differently. Still, it's worth noting that these are also personality-based ways to express emotions rather than sex or gender-based differences. Just a friendly suggestion! I really do like the list!

Maybe I'm just weird and all the people I know are weird, haha, but 90% of the women I know emote like "men" and a good half of the men I know emote like "women" according to the list. :)

Well, Muses, I think you’ve surpassed all reference tools I’ve found in 30 years of writing. This is a most comprehensive and useful website for a writer. I will tell all my writer friends about it. We ALL “need” it, and I thank you for making this information available to us all. If you ever decide to publish it in a book or books, I’ll be the first in line to buy them.
