I have mixed feeling about men crying. basically cos I had a guy who would use his tears to manipulate me and make me do things that i really regret....anyway thats all in the past. If they're genuine tears is all good, male or female.
There's something wrong with people in general who don't cry. I couldn't be with someone who didn't feel emotions in general whether that's crying or getting angry or being really happy-it's unnatural not to express feelings.
Women want their man to be the rock. They know they themselve are emotional so they want a man to be a counter balance to that. Most women do make some exceptions but it better be good. Crying in self pity doesn't fly at all.
So.....when I watched Charlotte's Web......and Charlotte the spider died, and Wilbur was so distraught.....and I cried......is that a legit reason? I never cry from getting injured, or from not getting my way, just from sad songs, books, movies, cartoons, news, pets dying, onions, and of course the main one, sad girlfriends.
Aw Blackguard sweet man you are In my family, there's not much in the way of emotion being shown. My dad ... bless his heart though I love him to death... well, we're all big star trek fans, and well, he seriously, honestly, not even joking, admires the vulcans for their emotional restraint and strives to be just like that. At least with bad emotions. He'll laugh and stuff, but he just does not want to show sadness or anger...although, when bottling stuff up for a while, the man will BLOW his top like no one else I've ever seen. Never so far as to be abusive at all, but it's kinda scary. I've always resented that in my dad....and we've gotten into so many arguments because I'm so emotional. I love my husband for being so strong, but for actually showing some emotion every now and then. As far as I know, he hasn't cried when I've cried, and I don't recall having caught him yet, but I know he teared up when we saw Big Fish (love that movie ). He told me at the end of it, and gave me a warm fuzzy feeling. Ok...lemme try it this way. I'm always telling him I love his hands lol. But that's because...well they're worn and calloused, and hard, strong hands. He's put them through a lot through the years already. But when he holds my hand, or caresses my face, they're so soft, and warm, and gentle.... And that's how I like my man to be overall...even emotionally. To me, that's perfect. Gah...I dunno if that explains anything how I mean it to... I'm just missing him right now.
My boyfriend is one of those people u really don't think feel anything. Its kind of weird. I'm def. glad he is a rock for me, but sometimes I wish I could see a peek of emotion beyond happy and blah. Maybe a little anger, maybe a little sadness. I'm not talking tears or anything extreme but I wish my boyfriend (although I think he is wonderful) showed a little bit more emotion about anything. I'm not opposed to a man crying....but I don't want no cry baby.
