Men and crying

5 Jul 2005

Another time I cried was recently when my dad told me about his progressing illness and how he is likely to die. So that got me a bit tearful.
It seemed a bit redundant to ask the women about crying, because they usually cry when they want to or should do, and more appropriately than men. But there's no reason why they can't add to the thread.
But I am surprised by my tears when the happen. I actually think I have a reasonable technique at it. There is a way of searching your soul when you have a jolly good blubber. Things do get sorted out. Although one gets in a terrible mess.
So thanks for participating in this thread.

I spent most of my life NOT showing much emotion and being "strong" !! then wen i split from my partner found that its quite a relief to let it go and have a good cry...it releases so much frustration and hurt and probably more....
so let it go guys...it isnt a weakness ..in fact showing emotion is a strength imho..

I think that crying makes up for some of the opportunites men miss when they could have expressed themselves better. In general a typical wasp male will explain his feelings, or at worst have someone do it for him. The rest of the world just simply show it.

I know that it is a perception that women cry over anything but to be honest I haven't seen my wife cry that often? Both of us have suffered really tragic events in our life so may be it has to be something really bad to make us cry.

Last time I cried it was while watching "Grave of the Fireflies", so did everyone else in the room. A very weepy film and the only time a piece of Anime or a cartoon has brought tears to my eyes. The children were in full on crying mode by the end of it...
I cried at my Mothers funeral - one of the hymns really moved me and I just let go. A very emotional experience and one I'll never forget.

Last time I cried was my Mum's funeral - at the do afterwards when I'd sunk half a bottle of brandy. The nearest I get is a wet eye at some of the "moving" movies, or stuff like Diana's funeral procession, or the space-shuttle break-up. I don't control it, this is how it works - for me.

I don't know whether anyone else has noticed it but I have found as I get older I am far more easily moved to tears by things though thankfully by as many joyous occasions as sad ones .
The tears welled up only tonight as I saw a muslim father succumb to the awful realisation that his missing daughter was probably one of the dead still trapped on the underground.
Then again the night before I went to see a musical put on by my youngest daughters school and couldnt stop the tears rolling down my cheeks at the finale of the show; the kids had been so brilliant it was so wonderful to see the pride they had in their performance just beaming through their smiles

I can't remember the last time - almost did at a good friend's funeral in March ( he died of cancer, 3 after months after getting diagnosed ), but I wanted to save it for a private moment, and I blew the opportunity. I can predict the next occaision, and that will be the anniversary of my son's miscarriage. I will wait till the evening, then have 3 shots of tequilla and loads of fags as I sit outside and talk to him up above,for a couple of hours, about...well anything over the last year and what I expect to happen to over the next year. I look forward to the opportunity ( but still wish I had my boy, growing up, becoming something - not being a shapeless idea of what might have been, *sigh* sorry, bit depressing...I'll go now......

Seeing a man cry is something I hate to see. It really upsets me like you wouldn't believe. I don't know why, but it hits me on a really deep level and I end up crying buckets too. Even if its just on tv!
