And really, the whole fucking point is not that men should be crying here and there all over the place for no reason. I don’t think men, or women, would be crying here and there all over the place for no reason, all things being equal.
The point is that it’s loopy and backwards to decree that men shouldn’t cry or should restrict their crying because of their gender. What does gender have to do with whether someone should cry or not?!
I’m more than willing to admit that I couldn’t even watch childbirth, let alone go through it…
If you are evil then I’m guilty, too. When Scumpup came out with his pimp-slap/fly right bit, I immediately pictured Red from that 70’s Show saying the line. I have to admit I was crying from laughing so hard. Is that acceptable? To laugh so hard you cry?
No. Please turn in your testicles at the local Male Station.
I agree. BTW, I wasn’t one of those guys.
Hey now we don’t know the whole story. There are a lot of people out there who deserve to be hit.
Actually. It’s ok to cry if you get hit in the nuts. Did anyone mention that yet?
No. It’s because you don’t roll your eyes when they start talking about shoes, clothes and Prada bags.
In all fairness, it was a really big bug.
Geez, tough crowd. Guess I had better not mention what happens when I watch ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’, or see the little robot in the last scene of ‘Silent Running’ then.
To be fair, Silent Running is such a bad movie that I could understand anybody crying at being forced to sit through it. I even like Bruce Dern and I still can’t bear that movie.
It has been my experience that straight guys don’t do this either if the gal talking has a low cut shirt and a nice rack.
Oh, yeah. I saw it when I was a teenager. Still, I don’t remember feeling so cheated of time on this earth as after seeing that ubercrap, Matrix-reloaded. That was enough to make me want to cry.
JuanitaTech, you are a keen observer of human nature. My girlfriend, once she got her ahem nice rack installed, found that her sales went up at the store she works at. As she is the top seller in any store she works in, I think it is an interesting item probably deserving of its own thread. Great investment…(for her of course. I don’t get much work done when I’m around her, so you could say my productivity is down. But when I’m home I’m on vacation anyway and play is the order of the day!)
No, we pimp-slap her, throw her over our shoulder and take her to the nearest changing room for summary ravishing.
I am tempted to mock you for your admission, but I’m afraid I haven’t beaten up enough people to make my opinion worthwhile.

I believe that this comment refers to me and I would like to be shown where and when I ever claimed to be sensitive. All I ever claimed was that is was okay for men to cry in public when under the influence of profound depression.
I would also like to know what you find so “endlessly” informative about the fact that I’ve cried twice in the last eight years. Are you a mental health professional that you are able to glean some insight into my character, based on a few words on a message board? If so, please share that insight so that I might learn something valuable about myself. Otherwise, do your enigmatic posturing elsewhere.
Of course, if you were referring to another poster, never mind.
It’s OK, provided you have killed a few bugs and built an endtable.
Woohoo! I have, I have, I’ve killed bugs and built an endtable [thinks: what’s an endtable?], you great wussy. Now get your ass down to the nearest maternity ward and give birth like a man.

Boils down to “if you cry, you are as bad as a woman”?
Lovely, I am surprised you will sink so low as to fuck us.
It’s a small table that goes at the ‘end’ of the couch. It think. I don’t know, it’s my girlfriend’s job to pick out the furniture, I just put it together.
And it can be very disruptive when there’s a bug buzzing around the appartment landing on stuff and what not. That’s why a man-sized swat with a magazine is required (as long as it’s not one of her InStyles…whoo boy.)
How am I supposed to take care of that shit with tears all up in my eyes?
That is NOT building an endtable. That is assmbling an endtable from a kit. Truly building an endtable would working from lumber and a set of plans.
I was thinking the same thing.
And gobear, I may be the Gay Guy, but that’s only 'cause I masterminded the threads. I don’t speak for anyone but me. I am, however, happy to give my opinion, even when not wanted and/or asked for.
