I agree, it isn't because men aren't emotional and (as a generalisation only) are less in contact with their emotions, but they aren't allowed the same development as women are. I reckon it's to do with the relationship with their mothers that takes a sharp turn when they reach puberty and are socially required to model their bearing on other males, the father ideally.

That's true, it usually isn't seen as acceptable for men to show emotions , so a lot of them hold it back. That's not to say they don't have emotions or are less emotional than women. Think of all the great male writer or poets, they had the capacity to be vulnerable.
A girl's relationship with her father and a guy's relationship to his mother, defines a lot how they develop partnerships later in life.
