Posted: 1/6/2006 8:15:12 AM | I grew up in West Virginia and yeah Yam I'm sure they did shed some tears in their lifetimes...
Funereals, weddings and births being the most frequent...
I know one father who cried when a fellow graduate from my school chose college over the mines...
Men are just ppl and yes, they cry...
Thank gawd not as much as most of the women I know though! | |

Posted: 1/6/2006 8:21:05 AM | | no the roles arnt reveresed. a woman that looks at a man and calls them a wuss cause they maybe crying man thats the sterotypical type of woman that turns me off dating. you think all man are rocks but i will tell yo this even the toughest of men out there have cryed in there life and not just over there mother dieing or whatever. its human nature to cry for some reason. crap ill even prove it call me a wuss. about 2 yrs ago i had a cat and he was one of my best friends (so what laugh guys i dont care) and i had o get rid of him. i was distraught he made me smile and laugh when i felt blue and i cryed so what thers nothign wrong with that. the only diff that is here is that i can accept that i do cry even tho im a guy its human nature and i am no less a man for crying. | |

Posted: 1/6/2006 8:25:24 AM | ^^^having human feelings is normal, hiding them is not...
I don't want a man that keeps a stone face...
Stone isn't very comfortable to cuddle up with...
If you're hurting, happy, whatever...share it, that's what makes the bond stronger... | |

As soon as some people get what they think they want, they change their mind and decide they want something else. It's a vicious cycle with some folks. Hard to hit a target when it's constantly moving. | |

Posted: 1/6/2006 10:47:50 AM | | Yeah OP, I gotta agree. So many guys are walking around like whiny little ****es these days and really gotta start manning up. But, at the same time I can fully understand where C3 is coming from. I'll admit it, I cried when my dog got killed by a car and I believe I shed at least one tear when I drove my favorite car into the woods. Otherwise, me man. me bring home meat. You cook! | |

What happened to the rest of this thread? I thought my jokes were adequately qualified but if I was somehow in error my sincerest apologies.

Posted: 1/6/2006 4:07:37 PM | I personally love a sensitive man  & I think it shows courage & strenght if he's not afraid to cry in front of me or in public , I don't like macho men at all. | |

Posted: 1/6/2006 4:31:54 PM | | Men have emotions. Some are more sentimental, at times. To look down on a man for being emotional is petty and makes me very sad, as if my kitten had died leaving me with no boon companion with which to share my innermost hopes and dreams. | |

Posted: 1/6/2006 4:41:49 PM | | Yeah sorry honey you are strange,omg men are human to.I think it is good when a guy can say or show what hes feeling.whats wrong with touchy feely if its someone that cares or loves you? there is something to be said ,for when i have a aunt say when her partner comes home and finds her in the ie kitchen doing dishes ,he waks up behind her and slides his arms around her and whispers in her ear ,that he loves her and sometimes begins to kiss her neck.she said it shows guys can be loving as well.i think that would be cool.guess the way you feel ,it wont happen in your life time??? I hope if i find a soul mate in this life time ,that he will be loving ,romantic and be able to show and tell me what hes feeling and then i can take him in arms and comfort him or make love to him. | |

I think Fight Club pretty much nailed it. We have been told we are all beautiful and unique for too long, people think they DESERVE a good thing. Then when it doesn't happen, they get upset, emotional, etc. If they had been spanked as a kid, teased, bullied, been in fights... They would know that their self worth is their own, not fashion based or any crap that corporations push.
Some guys are just wusses though.
Hug me please!  | |

Posted: 1/6/2006 5:41:39 PM | Lately I've noticed a lot of "touchy feely" guys out there that are talking about feelings and emotions and crap, and I'm like "Man up! Quit UR snivelin' wussy boy"! LOL
30 years ago I would have totally agreed with you. In those days, I was about as emotional as a lamp post. I believed all that crap that Hollywood and society taught me a man should be. One "tough hombre" just like Clint Eastwood in his Dirty Harry days.
It took me a lot of work to dismantle the totally pointless emotionless shell I had constructed as a child. Today, I am a normal human being WITH a full complement human emotions. I realized that emotions are God's gifts. Without them we would just be machines. What is the point of living if you can't feel joy and happiness or even fear and anger. However, if you wait a few years I am sure they will build you a robot husband/mate exactly according to your specifications. But, don't expect much of a relationship. It could be rather dull. | |

Or it is likely that when a woman is with a softer man she might subconsciously not feel free to show the more femminine aspects of her personality.When a man is softer and more emotional instead of being the proverbial "rock" in the relationship,maybe its tougher to feel "safe" letting go because you dont feel he could handle it if you needed a shoulder.A lot of uber competent women who are very independent need a strong place to fall and to just be a woman once and awhile.I think we all love to let go and just relax like that sometimes
Wow! Thank you for the cyberanalysis! That's probably it! At this point in my life, I'm so tired of wine drinking intellectuals that wear their heart on their sleeve! I'm looking for a beer chuggin' guy that can fix a damn flat tire without requiring a call to AAA! Perhaps I need a change of scenery! LMAO. | |

it takes a very masculine man to be able to show his feminine side.
Part of me believes this, then the other part believes that it's just a wuss showing his true colors! | |

I'm not a whiner by far but I'll tell you this you need to go get laid, the tension is just glittering off you.
I hate when guys respond like this! As if sex cures all problems!!  | |

Well...by looking at the pics on your profile and the info on there...I'll agree with you that you'r strange and possibly a bit too high maintenance.
I'll concede to the "strange" part, however I question the alleged "high maintenance" reference. I believe I hide that part QUITE well! LMAO. | |
