Another terry78 study thread.

If Arnie cries about the Cali fires, is he deemed better than a woman that would do the same, is what the study is basically asking.

Quit crying about it

everyone knows chicks are big crybabies

this is nothing new...

women crying makes them come across as emotionally unstable and weak...

men crying shows they are in touch with their emotions

however there are different types of crying and being very general, the issues that bring about the teardrops from the average man's view point are considered worthy...

heck, a man crying about a football result is better than perhaps a woman crying about losing her job unfairly even though it's more important.

it's not really about the crying itself, rather than the situation that has brought it up and how it is becoming more acceptable to have a man's man be more emotional.

it's just a current trend. It'll phase out in a decade or so...

It's thought that big, strong men don't cry, so if a man does cry, you think, "Whoa, whatever happened must be HELLA bad. ", and so you'd feel like a callous bastard for not being sympathetic.

But women cry when they break a nail, or when two characters get married on a soap opera, or when the whole office chips in and gets them a really nice cake for their birthday, etc.

So you see the woman cry and go "", and assume it's because of weird hormonal imbalances brought on by her birth control 'cause she's a ****, or because she's cracking up because schizophrenia runs in her family, etc.

Of course crying is a sign of weakness!

The only time a man should cry is when someone dies or is dying, or their favorite team loses or wins. Anything else deserves a kick in the nuts.

A male coworker of mine started crying one day because he lost a pretty decent sized deal that would have earned a lot of cash. Granted, I can see being upset, but....don't do that.

What if he's passing a a kidney stone shaped like Optimus Prime's head?

I wish I cried tears of Pepsi, it would be sad yet refreshing!

But they would be hot. Hot drinks are a no-no unless it's winter.

A new study shows that you can get funding to study anything.

This reminds me of that Seinfeld episode when Jerry was dating that girl who was the understudy actor for Bette Milder and who cried at everything of no consequence but nothing of substance.

Like when she dropped her hot dog on the ground, she cried, and when she was getting bad reviews for standing in for Bette Milder because everyone thought she had intentionally hurt her.

But then when her Grandmother died, she didn't even waste a single tear.

What if you GET kicked in the nuts...is it okay then?

I don't agree with the study.

wheres your link to prove this study of studies!!???!?!?!

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

back when men were men, a man crying in public was considered a p**sy. Now that we've all been feminized, he's "in touch with his feelings*

*gag*

Except if it's your favorite baseball team that wins or loses because as we all know there's no crying in baseball.

You clearly don't know what football means here in the southeast.
