If you ask a Singaporean man what he is feeling, you'd probably hear:

1. A neutral response "I'm O.K."

2. A thought on solving a present problem: "I need to go do...."

3. A deflection into humour or hobby/interest.

​

But you would rarely hear his heart.

​

If men can't make contact with their emotions, they begin to do so many other things to cope.

And sometimes, coping strategies won't be enough.
