You want to see a real man cry?  
Let him get his dick cut off.  
If you don’t cry over that then you ain’t no man. 0887;)

Boys don’t cry…(Musical interlude by The Cure).

I can’t even remember the last time I cried. I never cry over physical pain, though I never really been in much pain (knock on wood). As for emotional pain, I never cry, but I tend to tear up at the weirdest thing. I could not bat an eye watching a sappy movie, but I sometimes tear up watching some dumb commercial even if the commercial isn’t a sad one.

Listening to music sometimes I tear up. The only movie I remember almost crying was the movie The Last American Virgin. Kinda dumb, but damn that kid did not deserve what that girl did… I guess I can relate. ☹ 9/11 is the last time I remember tearing up about something serious.
