nomadic_butterfly Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 macho men are stupid. **** macho men. LOL well that's your opinion. And by macho I don't mean a misogynistic bonehead who thinks women are peons indebted to the full servitude of a man. I mean a guy that's a bit rough around the edges, handy, athletic, lots of testosterone, facial hair (maybe a little chest hair), strong arms, a good protector, a good provider, leader, reliable, etc. 1
Tayla Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 FFS, even the Terminator understood why we cry ...... it is HUMAN. Trust me guys, you don't want to be with a woman who cannot be understanding if you need to cry ONCE IN A WHILE. The erroneous belief that crying is weak is considerably antiquated. Here here to the bold part!!! I support this simple yet powerful statement! Telling someone to stop tears flowing is no different then telling someone not to laugh or enjoy life...its a part of the full range of our humanness...
Shepp Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 1)Was possibly getting laid off and I talked to my girlfriend about it and was just frustrating 3)A month ago when I had an anxiety attack because I fell behind on bills due to a car repair and crying fixed those things how? I'm not trying to be a jerk I just dont really get crying because it doesn't we a difference it doesn't fix anything, it just not my bag! I think as well that there's a difference between crying and tearing up - the last time I cried in the last 5 years was when my dog died, it didn't fix anything but nothing could of fixed that so what difference did it make, but tearing up a little is different, that's just showing emotion - I teared up when my sons were born, I teared up when Sir Alex Ferguson retired. Crying isn't showing emotion so much as letting emotion control and incapacitate you. I find it foreign when A guy crys at the drop of a hat...it's just not something I'm used to...I don't think it weak as such but it is incapacitating - you can't fix anything while your crying about it, and taking a hit dusting yourself of and going again, that's strength. Not even just a gender thing though, I don't have time for girls who cry at the drop of a hat either, crying over big stuff is one thing, but over a controllable situation or minor hassle - c'mon now! Like anything they'll be girls who think its endearing and there'll be girls who find it a turn off. You can't do tings for other people you have to be who you are - wether that means crying or keeping the game face on. Though if I was wagering a pick I'd back you'd buddy, I'd say a higher percentage of girls find it a turn off than a turn on. When I boxed in competitions when I was younger my grandad would say 'you cant do nothing about them seeing hs much they have you bleeding, but you never let them see how much they have you hurting'. The to kid the other guy you had to first kid yourself and that helps you keep going......well that helps me keep going, I do t doubt that others may get strength from having a cry and then pulling themeslf together - whatever floats your boat!
lino Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 I think it's pretty suicidal for a guy to cry in front of his girl. Hold out for one of those hard to find women. Good plan, but most guys want to find someone before they turn 200
Shepp Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 macho men are stupid. **** macho men. A) BS B) Unfortunatly that's for the girl to decide not you. C) cryings one thing but cattiness definetly isn't attractive ranking time! handy - not me athletic - not me lots of testosterone, means ***hole - not me facial hear - not me strong arms - not me a good protector - not me a good provider - not me leader - not me reliable - me I'm really close. By the way, macho means misogynistic bonehead Whats left??
anne1707 Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 So Alex Ferguson's retirement is on a par with the birth of your children?
Shepp Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 So Alex Ferguson's retirement is on a par with the birth of your children? hahah, well...... No, my sons being born was happy, Fergie going was sad - but they both made me emotional.
WP4046 Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Men are only supposed to cry when 1. they hit the lottery 2. when they are having good sex 3. A promotion 4. new born 5, wedding day HAPPY SITUATIONS 1
ThatMan Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Hmmm... Given that: A) I'm not a woman. & B) I do not cry. ...I had to think about this one and use my imagination. Wouldn't crying be a great way to deal with stress? If given the choice, wouldn't crying be far less costly than depending on alcohol and the bar scene? It's too bad that I cannot choose to cry. What's funny is that even though I do not cry, this is something that I actively consider during a new relationship. How people relate to each other is important to me. Women who cannot fathom men who cry are miserable people to be around. When people cannot relate to other people then something's wrong. You have to draw from something within yourself to relate to other people. And people who struggle to relate to anyone else really do struggle to join in on all the fun. I think that people who live on extremes, and possess any extreme values are exactly the sort of people that I do not need in my life. I mean come on, people. How unhinged from reality do you need to be to demand a spouse behave as a robot? I will often ask out complete strangers in public out to dates, and these people I have fun with STILL do not have these fringe beliefs. So relax a bit. I do not believe most women are this extreme.

Keenly Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Men don't cry. At least no one should ever see them cry. Show I like has a list of reason of when its okay for a man to cry. 1. Death of your child, your parent, or your dog. 2. Retiring from any level of sports career. 3. During the movie " field of dreams " Any time you cry outside of those times, you are a pussy, and need to be reminded you are a pussy, and then you pick it up and carry on. Seriously though.... don't cry in front of your woman. 1
No Limit Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Girl writin' this post here. And yeah, it does depend on the situation. Tears of happiness? I don't mind them, I'd just fear they'd make me cry too. Pain, injuries or 'manly' tears, nope, don't mind them either. Actually the only thing that'd very much annoy me is crying when there'd be something like a cheating confession. In that case I'd leave immediately anyway and having someone annoy me with oh so regretful sorry's, excuses and sobbing voicemails/calls would only get me to change all numbers.
Shepp Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Who's fergie? I can't even comprehend why I'd cry or even tear at someone famous retiring but it that's what floats your boat. This doesn't choke you up? http://Http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04NQAu2OpCU ?? 1
