how many of you guys actually cry?

[DesignDawg]

The last time I cried was about 5 years ago. I remember it very well. I was leaving a MAJOR part of my life behind...Everything changed in the course of one day, and, to be quite honest, I was scared. At the very least, apprehensive as hell as to what the future held for me. --And I was alone. There was NO ONE around to even talk to for days. That was a tough time, but I consider it a valuable experience.

I ALMOST cried a few days ago, when I was reading William Wegman's book about his relationship with his dog Fay Ray. I read it cover to cover in one sitting, and it basically draws you in, makes you live the life with the dog, and then makes you mourn the loss of her to leukemia. VERY sad in the end. --And every now and then, a movie will choke me up. I can't watch Glory (the Civil War movie) without choking up big time. As a matter of fact, I can't hardly think about it without choking up. --But I have never shed a tear watching it. That's one thing I refuse to do, is cry at a movie. I'm not afraid to cry, but I'll be DAMNED if I'mn gonna let a hollywood producer manipulate me like that in public!

I cry when I have a reason to do so. No shame in it. It's better than having your tear ducts explode unpredictably, drenching the lovely lady in front of you in salty eye juice.

Every once in a while...last time I cried was back in March when my dog of 14 years died

 

[Spoooon]

I tear up at emotional moments. I don't think I've ever broken down and cried though.

edit: I did cry when I broke my arm and when I had my appendix removed. I was pretty young at the time.

 

[mattyrug]

how's this one for you guys, the last time I cried was about 5 months ago, at my dad's funeral, now i couldn't cry if i tried, honestly!! ......I gotta watch some more sappy movies, or have my toys taken away, or something!!

 

[Blackhawk2]

I cried when my weenie was on fire (some sort of intestinal infection). It feels like your d*ck is gonna explode when you take a leak . Other than that and 1 funeral, I'm the epitomy of Mr.Macho

 

[abracadabra1]

i think most guys can count the times they've cried. here are my rainstorms:
1) kicked in the jewels for the first time
2) grandmother died
3) i married my wife
4) father died
5) mother died
6) i reached 50
7) my son left to college

other than that my eyes have been dry as can be!
i do let out an occasional drizzle here and there, but nothing that needs a kleenex.

<< When I'm kicked in the balls and when I get extremely emotional >>



Jesus... The most pain I was ever in was at a hockey rink. I took a slap shot to the nuts (wasnt with my team - just playing around at the community rink thus had no cup on). Let me tell you, the noise I made after could have shattered glass had their been any around. I was in agony for over an hour.

I got really lucky too cause as far as I know, I'm still functional

 

[beat mania]

I'm probably the most sentimental person on earth and I always cry when I think about certain things.
And then I cry over books when I read them.
I don't cry for movies, movies are too fake.

Damn, my eyes are getting watery again.

 

[amnesiac]

I cry, usually for one of the following:
- Broke up with my g/f (cried for about 2 weeks straight)
- Seeing someone close to me cry
- Watching a really sentimental movie (i.e. Mr. Holland's Opus)
- Getting kicked in the nads really hard (hasn't happened but I would imagine I'd be bawling)
- Losing someone close to me (same as above)

I could care less what other people think about me crying. I don't think that crying makes a guy any less of a man, it just shows that he's more comfortable with his emotions. And no, I'm not gay.

Last time I've cried was when my gf went on vacation to the USA. And I cried when I met her again at our airport... God damned that was the best feeling ever

[hans007]

i cry. i'm a real man, i'll admit i cry.

 

[Moonbeam]

I read somewhere that there is a story in some book, The Apocraphea?, that some think was or is? part of the Bible, about Jesus and his 12 deciples where he has them dance in a circle and sing a song. The only line I rember from the song, one it seems was repeated many times was Him singing, &quot;Did ye but suffer, you would not suffer.&quot;

[pen^2]

hey, get this: in my chiildhood i was kicked by a TKD blackbelt of my age directly in the <where you know damn well> :|:Q
dont you tell me how useless TKD is in real life ish, it really hurts if you get kicked by someone who knows how to kick! but i DIDNT CRY then
however, i do cry occasionally, even nowadays due emotional causes

 

[slicksilver]

the last time I cried is when I got whipped with the belt from my Dad........good lesson for me though.....I do cry if I lose someone close to me.......it doesn't mean that you are not manly enough!:|

<< There is nothing sexier than a man who is not afraid to cry. >>



GirlFriday I've been the sexiest man on Earth for the last year then.

[edit] Besides, I have 2 daughters and I'm not afraid to let them see that Dad can be both strong and sensitive.

 

[Stallion]

Just last night I got a little choked up. I was putting my little boy to bed(19 months, Gabe is his name) and as I was rocking him and singing to him with his head on my shoulder he leaned up and kissed me on the cheek and then put his head backdown on my shoulder again.

It was the best feeling ever ,in fact it makes me choked up just thinking about it.

 

[xtreme2k]

cried when got dump

 

[Fathom5]

Nothing better than being a Dad, eh Stallion?

 

[3615buck]

- when a cousin committed suicide
- when broke up with my girlfriend

 

[Stallion]

It's moments like that Fathom5 that make me the proudest Dad in the world. It was the greatest thing. Babies are the epitome of innocence..

Crying is good for you.... it releases toxins in your body and can stimulate the flow of endorphins through your body.

Cry when you feel like crying, you'll live longer!

 

[jkdude]

i cry when:
-when losing a loved one
-when seeing my mother crying over emotional issues, it get my teary eyed and i turn the other way so she doesn't see me.
-and some other emotional things here and there

sometimes it feels good to let it out and get it out of your system


As for being hit in the nuts, try this one:
I've been hit in the nuts two times on a tennis court. The first time, when i was 12 years old, i was walking to a court, and some guy on another court whacked an ace and it came and hit me dead center. Ah man, that was pain, but just walked it off

Last year, when playing a friend tennis, he came up to the net and smashed a ball. Well, i couldn't block it, and it bounced on the ground first and came up and got me from under!!! talk about being shell-shocked!! I was like paralyzed for 5 minutes there, could barely move.

I ended up beating him and winning the game, but man, i was moving at a snail's pace. No tears there though, just had to put up with it.

For some reason, real life things never get me to cry. It's the movies that always get me. Of course some of the obvious ones would be saving private ryan or braveheart, even armageddon (Chick movies like titanic NEVER make me cry!) But it goes downhill from there. I totally cried my ass off after big daddy...now this is sad, and I can't believe I'm going to admit it, but after certain episodes of pokemon (yes, it has happened more than once), I find tears rolling down my eyes cause its so damn touching...
