[Mr. Pink]

I am a guy and I have to agree with those who say guys should cry when they want to cry.

There aren't many times in my adult life that I can remember crying.

- I shed a tear or two of happiness on my wedding day.
- I shed a few more tears of happiness the day my daughter was born and I saw her for the first time. (Seriously, I don't get how such a life changing event couldn't warrant a few tears.)
- There are two movies for some reason make me shoot a couple tears when i watch them. The first is Backdraft at the end when he says "That's my brother." I can totally relate to the feeling of pride he has in his brother because I have the exact same feeling. The second is A League of Their own at the end when they are all old and talking about the ones who died. I guess I sort of relate to all the old aunts and uncles I grew up around who died off one by one.
- I shed some tears when I left a job I loved and worked at for 6 years. Believe me the students shed way more tears, and I bet if they weren't crying so much I probably wouldn't have shed any tears.

Ironically I've never cried at a funeral, ever. I think when my mother passes on I'll shed some tears, but I can't be sure.

I've had a lot of relatives and a couple friends pass, and I didn't cry.

I don't see it as not manly to cry, I just don't do it. My brother has cancer, and though it upsets me, I didn't shed any tears for him. I guess because he was going to live through it.

At the end of the day, what do tears of sadness accomplish? I prefer tears of happiness and joy.

I bet G-Drags is shedding a few tears during his trial.

I dont cry much but Ive started to start crying at weird times, like when Im watching the Simpsons and it's a sweet ending. Not like bawling but a few tears nonetheless.
The worst is when I cry when I come though, really embarrassing. And I mean cry like a baby and start shouting for my mummy.

My family were all bawling when my dog died, it was a sad day. I wasnt though and I had to deal with the body etc. It was one of the first times I truly felt like a man.

Has anybody mentioned sporting events? Surely an emotional time and definitely acceptable for men to cry at. I remember crying when Goran Ivanesevic won Wimbledon. And then at repeats of certain events. If I watch Geoff Hurst's third 1966 goal it makes me start welling up. Great fightbacks etc. Triumphs. A Rocky montage. Likewise in defeat. St James' Park the day Newcastle got relegated must have been the most en-masse fat people crying in history.

The original post of this is silly, sounds like girls who want to be in Sex in the City. The point is if you cry you cry, it doesnt make you less of a man.

I don't cry much, but there is nothing wrong with it.

Once was My favorite uncle's military funeral when the 21-gun salute and TAPS broke me down fast and hard.

I had a Kidney stone that had me in the fetal position for hours.

and sadly after a girl I was really in love with cheated on me and dumped me. That was a rough month.

Also, I was at the opening day for Saving Private Ryan watching so many Vets and their family tearing up and it got me misty as well.
