Most men feel they are already showing it, making it verbal isn't needed. Asking to tell a man how they feel is like asking a lady to repeat herself over and over.
Blame the way we think if anything...it's one of those disconnects between then genders.
A women will say "but you never told me how you felt! And a man will answer "I wouldn't be here if I felt any other way"
Men generally learn to communicate a little better as the get older. They pick up on the fact he opposite gender needs to be told as well as acted
It's not just one "issue" leading to it being difficult for some men, it's the way we are wired to think that makes it "a chore"

Thank you for answering. What makes that bad to do with a woman though?
There's nothing wrong with it, but you are forcing a man to expose their weaknesses to you or their true feelings. Some that they may be surprised themselves.
I'm not afraid to be vulnerable in front of certain women. I've cried in front of women but very rarely.
Men are conditioned to not show signs of weakness, as a previous poster pointed out. Any time a man shows vulnerability and the slightest sign of weakness his woman will resent him for it. You may think you want your man to open up and seem human to you, but if it becomes the norm you will quickly lose your feelings for him and ditch him.

Well, the only time I've had relationships end badly is because of the opposite. I stopped communicating about emotions and walled up. There is nothing that kills a relationship quicker than not being able to connect emotionally with your partner and to be able to communicate about it.

Well, I think it's okay to tell a woman, especially one you are with, that you love her and how you care for her.
I express my feelings in words to the point without confusion, in my mind. But its impossible for me to control how others perceive it. There is some "complicated circuitry" inside a woman's brain which takes time to analyze .
