    As you can see from the quote above, I wasn't talking about me. I was talking about us.

    I'm sorry, but there is no 'us'. I don't swing that way, buddy! I am married!

    I am sure there is a nice guy out there for you, but I love women.
    I'm sorry. Hope you find your lucky guy!

    Me too. I'm 200% straight. The only butts I'm interested in are headbutts.

    But that's beside the point.

    Are you saying that there are no circumstances in which you would cry publicly?

    And my point is: one person's idea of "a good reason" isn't necessarily another person's idea of "a good reason". Yes?

    Are you slow or something?

    Do you actually believe another human being does not understand that elementary concept?

    I mean, here you are repeating yourself over and over.

    Then you ask, "Are you saying that there are no circumstances in which you would cry publicly?"
    after I clearly stated the opposite.

    I don't care if the 18 year old thinks it's a good reason or not. I can tell you right now, as many other men would tell you, it's not a good reason.

    I think I'll fade to the background now.

    No, don't go. You're clearly a total fucking prick and I'm starting to enjoy our discussion now.

    Who are these "many other men"?
    Who appointed you to speak for them?

    It's you who's arguing in circles - prick.

    Perfectly good reason for a man to cry. Even if the man in question was 80 years old. Or 30.

    Are you the foundation and strength of a family, or a child who looks for hope?

    In my experience men reluctant to share their emotions rarely get as far as founding a family.

    What good does crying in public do you? None. What good does it do someone else? None. So, why should anyone do it? They shouldn't. If you're going to cry, you should respect other people's time and do it in private.

    What good does it do a man to cry in public???

    1. it is a public statement that opposes the silliness of artificial morals opposed by the moral police of the braindead majority.
    2. crying is healthy.

    I agree, it is a private matter, sometimes it cannot be helped, but if it can be avoided it should be.

    Crying maybe cathartic, but crying in public is emabarrassing and draws attention to weakness.


    No harm in crying in the comfort of your own home though, or in places where crying is the 'norm' such as funerals and sci forum 'meet ups'.

    whatever...

    1. crying is healthy.
    2. public emotions make my day. i want to see real people. I do not care about people who think they should live their lives according to silly morals. So, please be a man and cry in public. Shout in public. Fart in public. And forgot about the moral idiocy of the mindless majority. Or as Einstein liked to say: They are the farts. You fart.


    So cry. Please.

    I have a family, yes. However, there is something you don't understand because you haven't mentioned it yet.

    I do not wish to cry because I don't feel the need to. Again, the only reason I would cry is for a very good reason. For instance, if I just lost my son/daughter/wife in a terrorist attack, I would sob anywhere I am. Sob, not cry. Yes, there is a difference. I would do my real crying over my family in private. Any other matters that aren't in line with that type of situation, it would bother me or make me sad, but it does not mean I am repressing my tears. It just means that men are hardened by life and have no need for crying for anything bad that happens to me. There is always hope for the future. Once the storm passes, the skies will be clear again.

    Lastly, Hope is seen much better through the eyes of a man who has no tears.

    Is that what you hope for, to be too hard to feel?

    Which man was that?
    None that I know.
    Feel hard; see hard.

    Well, for my first example, me. You made the assumption that I hope to become that way. Clearly, I never told you if I was already that way, which I am.
    I am not too hard to feel.

    However, what situations am I supposed to be feeling for?
