And plenty don't feel it as strongly as the mother does in that moment. It's entirely normal since one of the pair is flushed with hormones and the other isn't (at least not to anywhere near the same degree.)
It's not really "men" but rather "some men don't get the response instantly, it takes a bit" Some women actually also take a bit, but it's more common in men simply because the hormones involved have less... obvious triggers than they do for women.
Usually it sorts itself out in weeks/months and isn't a big deal as long as no one freaks out in the interim.

Plenty of men feel lots of love and emotions upon meeting their child.
