Does your scenario above include your friends or just people in general?
Because if I know someone well enough that I call them "friend" I hope that the friendship would allow honest, open communication. Which includes talking about anything (including feelings). Even if I don't necessarily understand - I'm always willing to listen. I just don't see it as a waste of my time or effort.

Could be it's just easier for women though. :)
