RESUMO

This work investigates the problem of male communication of emotions in heterossexual relationships. We discuss the cultural construction of gender stereotypes, the psychossocial factors that contribute to the development of the male identity, as well as the relevance of communication in love relationships. In order to verify the influence of such stereotypes in the way a few men experience and express love, twelve interviews were conducted with middle class men, with ages ranging from 24 to 30 years and 40 to 47 years, who live in the more affluent districts of the city of Rio de Janeiro. The analysis of the interviews allowed us to observe that the cliché according to which men do not speak about emotions and feelings was not verified in the love experiences of almost half of the subjects.
