Is it cool for guys to cry? (single, members, show)

DontRunMeOver · 10-11-2007, 02:54 PM

When I was 18 through the whole summer I would cry probably once every day. If there was something emotional on TV, I'd start blubbing; if I heard a really beautiful song a little tear would well in the corner of my eye, build into a large drop and fall down my cheek. It was like I'd gone through some emotional transition and was suddenly in touch with the world in a more meaningful way than I ever had been before. It was like this every day from the moment I woke up to the second my eyes closed at night.

Then my course of anti-malarial Mefloquine* was over and so were the feely feelings. As were the hallucinations, insomnia and chicane-like way of walking. To put it simply, I was no longer insane.

Emotions are for girls, no man ever built a bridge or a fighter jet or a submarine out of emotions. Does Mr T cry? NO.

*Mefloquine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Any man who cries, and he's not just taken a blow to the balls or is watching Gladiator (because that ****s ****ing poetic) is an emotionally fragile whore. No offense Ethan, I love you for it, but in most blokes it's just wrong.

Ever seen the end of Flags of Our Fathers, that was beautiful.

However I stopped crying when I realized I haven't spoken with my father for a reason. I was crying that people so willingly died with honor for people who could care less... I stopped because it reminded me of the **** that I am forced to be attributed to.

But to be on topic:
I would never cry around or for people, I deal with too much **** to even acknowledge the rest of humanity.

so im taking it that its pretty much the general consensous of the men on this forum (as well as some chicks) that crying is for girls & girls only & that men should never shed a single tear or show any ounce of emotion...ever
well, thats nice that we all have robots here

I don't think crying is really ok for girls either. It's really unattractive no matter the gender.

Seriously, I hate it when chicks cry. Especially drunken crying, because then you really have no reason to feel sympathetic and just want them to shut the **** up.

When girls start crying at parties for stupid reasons..I dump beer on them.

Just because you don't cry doesn't mean you're an emotionless robot; I, for instance, when I get overwhelmed, I throw stuff. I play drums, break a drumhead.

So as I say; Let the brick and mortar fall.

It makes me feel very uncomfortable.

I let every guy I date know this.

I fully agree with that. Its just not what should happen. Be a man, and suck it up.
