Cry babies

[????]

...now, I consider myself a fairly robust sort of fella BUT...crying, I'm always at it

- All the obvious ones Funerals/Marriages etc, I'll as likely as not be off

- Minutes silence for Bobby Moore at Upton Park the week after he died, tears straeming down

- Reading Dulce Et Decorum by Owen can do it,

- last week my boy said to my missus when she asked what he wanted to play "can we play pretend dad's not in Ireland" (I work 4 days a week in Ireland) I cried for an hour when she told me this.

- The ending of Toy Story 3...even the second time FFS

Do in need to pull myself together? Is crying alright for men now?

[silverfox]

No, not for real men.

[????]

bollox, I suspected

[StraferJack]

Nah, I'm the same

Heck, just reading the OP was enough to make me go

You can add UP! to Toy Story 3

[katie1997]

What straferjack said!

I'm the opposite of my other half - a complete cry baby!

Quids, don't ever change.

[ontheedge]

edited cos what i wrote originally was nonsense, but your sentiments were so sweet, what I wrote about was an add? on c4 called laid off, was a bit heartbreaking but guess you needed to see it which I guess at this hour many wont have.

Having evolved from caveman quite some time ago, I see no shame in crying. Crying is one thing but blubbering is still taboo.

Keen to hear from Tarot on what his opinions are, he obviously hasn't got to this one yet...Soon hopefully, I need my Tarot fix.

[hibbs]

Births/deaths/marriages = Yes

Films = NOOOOOOOOO

Sorry Quids I cannot bare to watch men crying at films and anything else really but then again I'm am a pretty hard face b*tch ;-)

I'm not interested in this thread. I'm just quoting the OP in case he comes back and deletes it. Which if he had any sense, he would have done already.

Brilliant thinking MM!(tu)

A man who is ashamed to cry, is an emotionally sterile knob.

[Dulwich_ Park_ Fairy]

There are only two occasions when it is acceptable for a man to cry:

1.When his dog dies.

2.When he gets hit really hard in the nuts.

The rest is pure self-indulgence.

[Alan Medic]

Knobs have feelings too you know.

I couldn't have put it better myself. Well said.

It's good to cry. It's better out than in. It shows you care and have feelings. Real feelings. Bottling your emotions up doesn't do anyone any good at all.

[Laddy Muck]

Yep I cry when I'm happy and when I'm sad; when people are nice and when they are horrid. Can't help it.

[nashoi]

How many proud Irishmen have got a tear in their eye right now I wonder.

[new mother]

I heard a little boy being dropped off by his father and saying, cheerily, "love you- have a good week, daddy".

The maturity he was displaying and knowledge of the circs he is presumably dealing with brought a tear to my eye.

[Tarot]

Humans cry,its the crocodile tears I dont like,crying with laughter is a good tonic,there you go Guido.

Did I miss something ?

[????]

You see, there's a bit of me that thinks Dulwich Park Fairy has got this right

[Frankito]

Dulwich Park fairy is pure errrm.. Macho and to be ignored!

Sorry, probably wrong thread MM, but Jedward were performing as I posted.

[ratty]

Cried me balls off 8 weeks ago when my new daughter was born. Cried when Pompey won the FA Cup and cried when I tried to mention my dad in my wedding speech. Nothing beats a good cry IMO. Anyone know WHY we do it though??

[mockney piers]

Cried the other day when mum was diagnosed with breast cancer, but only after I decided to cope by drinking about 12 pints.

Drinking their way through problems is what real men do :-/
