The last time The Champ was on TV......
when my dad died of cancer, and my wife haD A BRAIN HAEMORAGE IN THE SAME WEEK
Only guys???
:shock:
have done so twice in the last 4 months.....
First, bad tackle, resulting in 2 breaks, 3 fractures and ripped ligaments :cry:
Second, was when I got the bill, and told wasn't covered by my insurance! evil
I've been crying for nearly a week.
One of my friends commited suicide on Wednesday and another friend died on Friday.
Up until this week I have been very lucky and not lost many people I care about, and losing two in three days really knocked me for six, and then another six.
Thanks to everyone in the forum for your posts and keeping me from going mad.
I bet you wish you hadnt asked now. :cry:
I don't really see why men crying should be noteworthy.
Well, yes I do, it's because of some daft Victorian stiff upper lip hangover that says we're meant to be all macho and strong and all that bollocks. Well, crying whether you're male or female doesn't mean you're not strong, it means you're human. Macho schmacho, you can keep it. smile

i think men cry a lot more than they admit to

I think you're right. I think men are under a certain amount of pressure to suppress their emotional natures. Thankfully that social attitude is not as prevalent as it was, and I'm pretty sure that guys who maintain the super cool image in public are just as human as anyone else in private, or they'd go nuts bottling stuff up. That applies to women too, because a lot of people, male and female, choose not to publicly display their feelings, but they have them nevertheless.

My cup runneth over :cry: , except I am that nuts.
Last time I had a cry was when I broke up with my girlfriend. Time before that was last June.
Women do tend to cry more than men as they're more emotional and empathic, regardless of the social stigma and expectations from a man.

Ah fuckit - I was going to say that but I came over all emotional and by the time I'd wiped away the tear .......
Anyone that knows me knows I'm an emotional bastard. I don't mind women seeing it but I get uncomfortable if men do - peer fucking pressure, I guess.
I remember being told here that I wear my heart on my sleeve - never a truer word - a female observation it was.
I think it takes a strong man to admit that he cries............
A lot of men bottle up their feelings...... making things worse.... just because society dictates that men don't cry.....
If something touches you in such a manner as to make you cry..... then it is nature's healer.... go ahead and cry..... i would think no less of someone who cries...... in fact they would probably have my respect.....

First posting, I've not cryed in years try to keep it in most of the time but when i have to let it out i do it by myself. Wish i could cry but not got it in me. sad
I must admit to having to keep a stiff upper lip but i did cry when my dad died 4 weeks ago but it was only when he died and haven't cried sure if its healthy though.
I cried earlier this evening. One of my little dogs is dying. I don't think she'll be with me in the morning. She's had a good life she'd be 14 next month not bad for a King Charles and her mums is still going strong at 15 and a half.
I cry at sad films. The Colour Purple had me blubbering in the cinema and I can't bear to watch A Kid For Two Farthings. That always has me running for the tissues.
Well over 30 yrs ago i think. Never felt the need to.
Guess I must be dead inside or something, someone did once call me a robot :shock:
I think a stronger man would cry rather than bite his bottom lip
It's allways hard for a bloke to cry int it, don't know why maybe its because we feel the need to show our masculinity and just hide our emotions. I can remember going to my uncles funeral, very close relative y'know the type youd spend most weekends down the local with and have a laff, and no matter how much i wanted to cry i just couldnt. Just from that i felt so guilty afterwards, not all too sure why it was as if I thought i didn't cry because i didnt feel for him which is soo far from the truth. Same thing happened at my grans funeral, and i was just a lil kid back then too. But sometimes just watching an episode of holby can make me shed a tear, its a confusing thing. In answer to your question though i last cried at a repeat of ER lol
You havnt been watching big brother have you? That crying task thing? Thinking about the possibilities of when you sign up for next years now?

Maybe because women cry at some of the most pointless things? What 10 times a day :P Gawd, how can someone who last cried at er say that. Someone else back me up
