Unfortunately for us, a lot of the emotions that we men experience but don't express are anger and aggression. So in many ways it's just as well we don't express them.
I typically feel manipulated by my emotions, since they are so often based on partial perceptions. So there are good reasons to wait them out in many cases.
However, if everyone is really referring to positive emotions, carry on.
