Well, stereotypically, it is. Generally, women like men who act like men, not ones who're 'in touch with their feminine sides'.
If they wanted to go out with people like that, they'd become lesbians.
But it's true enough, a bad boy is better than the boy who constantly gives flowers and a shoulder for her to cry on.
Yep. There's a reason emo kids are the laughing stock of Britain. Noone likes a pussy.
Usually when im drunk and complaining about women mind ;(
BTW, as someone I mentioned this whole thing said, "In touch with their feminine side" is crap too, and adds to the same stereotype which IMO needs to be torn down. Crying isn't feminine, it's human.
Like I said in IRC, shut up ;[ Any time you're dealing with a large group of people, the only thing you can do is generalise. You can't possibly account for each individual person.
Statements such as "Men don't like fat chicks" are generally true, but obviously you're gonna get the odd one who loves them. Same with men that cry.
I remember getting into a few fights in town one night after necking a few beers and several Vodka&Redbulls, and everybody disowned me and with no money I was left to walk about 16 miles home. I was a state.
Surely this only applies if they claim to be "new generation".
And I refer you back to my fat chick example. Sure, the "new generation" way of looking at it would be that if you want to be a fat chick, then by all means, go for it, but it doesn't mean everyone has to change their opinions to like it.
If a girl likes muscly men, it'd be "new generation" of her to give skinny guys a chance too, but if that's not what she likes, then she doesn't have to. Same goes for guys that cry; the simple fact is, the majority of girls like 'manly' guys. Sure, they want them to be slightly sensitive as well so they don't feel like they're going out with Björn Borg, but there has to be a line drawn somewhere.
You aren't even understanding what I'm saying. I'm not saying guys should never cry (far from it), I'm saying they shouldn't break down and start crying infront of their girlfriend 'cause of how happy they are.
I does seem rather strange. Though I did see my mate cry at the hospital when his daughter was born.
If you ask me though, happiness is as good a reason to cry as sadness.
Uh, with your next sentence when you said:
and when more than one person agrees with him
:thumb:
my current fella has cried once and that was at a family members death, id rather he cried if he needs to
How true.
Still, it makes him feel happy to be "controversial", which is really quite sweet really.
If you cry at everything then you need to see a shrink.
If you have never cried through happiness then you have never been happy.
If you never feel close enough to someone to cry in front of them or in their arms, then you've never been close to someone.
Thank you.
You what?
To be honest, I'd be worried at any man who didn't have a little happy cry on his wedding day or when his first bairn is born.
OK, but that's not the same as "If you have never cried through happiness then you have never been happy."
I was quite happy when I last got laid, but I didn't start crying about it.
Like, when I last saw Lewin and he was leaving, he started crying cause he wasn't gonna see me for ages, and he misses me and stuff.
I also made the bloke cry a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't realise til he told me.
As to this sometimes only someone of the same sex can understand what your going throught. When i found out that wife was sleeping with someone else, there was only two people i could talk too, my best mate who without him i would probably be dead right now. and one of my other friends who had the same thing happen at the same time
It was the first, and if I can help it, last time, but I feel like a right loser now! :rolleyes:
