I think it is one of the most beautiful things ever. Its showes he has a heart, feeling and in no way does it show that he is weak or a wussie.

I believe that you think that you will be that way, but wait til a guy actually starts sobbing away in front of you. Your disgust will well up out of nowhere. nod

I have already been there...why would I have disgust for that??? What I say is what I mean and how I feel. Period!

Okay then. biggrin

Dont make me cry! fit



I was not trying to make you cry...but you were assuming that I was saying one thing but would react another way. I hate it when peeps do that. Capish?

I'm so very scared. boxed

I was just making a generalisation that may not fit you. I earnestly believe that women dont really appreciate men crying as much as they say they do.


I think some women get frightened when they see a man cry. It's been so ingrained in us that it has to be the end of the world before a guy loses it emotionally, that crying signifies that there's something really fucked up happening.

For me, it would depend upon the reason he is crying and how he's crying ("how" sounds weird, but what I mean by that is if he's sobbing or just has a few tears). I don't cry much myself, so I probably wouldn't be able to be too sympathetic to someone--male OR female--who cries a lot over small things. It's important to me that my friends and partners show genuine emotion, though, so I'm not saying they shouldn't express or show sadness. Just saying that some of us see a lot of shit in life, and we have to be strong in order to function, and I need to be strong and I need a strong PARTNER to walk with. I can't always be carrying the both of us, if the shit goes down, ya know? wink

But I've seen many strong men and women cry (I cry every once in awhile), and as long as I know what kind of stuff they're made of, it doesn't negatively influence my perception of them.

Good response (as usual biggrin ).

Yes, I think some women become terrified when a guy loses it emotionally. Christ, if it happens to me I terrify myself! lol


Thats because society has endoctrinated us a ll with the fact that men, boys etc shouldn't cry and DONT. So when it does happen, folks flip the fuck out, ar euncomfrtable about it, etc. hence it also makes some submit to some Tough Guise and replace their sadness etc with a more acceptable emotion..anfer, agression etc...then you have situations such as crime, roberry, gangs etc all because of whats deemed wrong by soeone who said "boys dont cry" etc. then you have the republicans and conservatives etc all maiing harsh laws for those who have ben indocterinated with only showing agression and anger as acceptable instread of th e hurt and pain theyy may actually feel, being caught up in that system (crime, punishment)...

lol

Mine doesn't come out in anger or aggression thankfully. I just bottle it all up and wait for the inevitable twitchy madness that will decend on me...lol

To be frank, I don't like softy boys who cry about every damned thing. For that matter, I don't like softy girls who cry about every damned thing either.

But I do think that if a person has enough trust and comfort to cry in front of you that it's a very humbling and honorable place to be for both parties -- perhaps especially if a guy is doing the crying.

I'd be so aroused if a straight man cried in front of me, it's just such a rare sight to see, and I'd like to see it. I'd still respect him and I don't see why masculinity should equate to coldness. It's just stupid.

Absolutely nothing wrong when a man cries. Men have feelings too and need to be free to express not supress.

I think it is beautiful to see a man cry esepcially if it is someone that I am intimate with at the time.

The Aussie men picked up that trait from the Persian men. wink

Ok, so you're all touched or turned on by a man who dares to cry, BUT... that's only because it doesn't happen too often. If you saw your man cry two or three times a week, would it still be great?

well,
i think, its human! first of all, to cry about "stuff"...(doesnt, and shouldnt be confused with "being weak", being emotional doesnt pertain to just ONE certain "SEX" "the female", like our society projects! thats ignortant!!! anytime, anyone, cries reminds us "were" NOT "rocks"...we have feelings!stickpoke

I don't think there's anything really wrong with it, except once I went on a date with this guy to see "What Women Want", and he bawled. A little odd, as that's a ROMANTIC COMEDY. He found it touching, and, needless to say, that was the last time I went out with him. There's a such thing as overly sensitive, lol.


...ooh really! hmmm!!!
(i dont think so, dont be offended, but you need to get OUT more! it'll help you appreciate the variety of personalities in people, variety is cool!...wow! you might of missed out on someone who would of been "sensitive" to yer needs an really listened to you) boxed
ooh well, NEXT!
