Okay, so I just had a conversation with a female friend about crying. She said she cries about once a month-ish…..I don’t remember the last time I cried. maybe at the death of my grandmother 8 years ago. Am I just a heartless S.O.B. or what?? As a guy, you cry when someone dies. if you were close to them?

    I cry at commercials, sappy songs, romantic movies, when people are dilholes, when people type "mellow dramatic," sometimes I cry when I laugh really hard.

    You're not a heartless s.o.b, some people are criers others aren't.

    lol I cry a few times a month.
    I look at it as a release of tension and it makes me feel better.

    i'm the same, everything makes me cry a little. my therapis once said, its like i have a well of tears and just on little drop of emotion makes the well over flow. i dont know if thats accurate. men are different. my husband would probably cry if the dog died, or his mom, he gets emotional sometimes, but doesnt cry easily.

    men and women are different, no worse no better, just different.

    this. i think it is so healthy.

    i used to cry A LOT. like every few weeks.

    now i cry never, i probably cried last when i quit my dream job from crazy micromanagement.

    my fiance rarely cries either, just when my hamster died last year. and it was very beautiful tears, not ugly crying lol

    Seriously? Like once a week for me. I love a good cry. It's a happy cry, a sad cry, an excited cry, the frustrated cry, the church cry, just read a sappy card in the store cry, the commercial cry, the Extreme Home Makeover cry. I'm a cry-baby and that's ok.

    ETA I've never seen my husband cry, ever. Not even when our two kids were born. He's just not a cryer at all.

    Same for me.

    I cry whenever my emotions are extreme. Like extremely happy, extremely angry, etc. I think it is healthy to cry and since I am a Cancer, I definitely wear my heart on my sleeve.

    I can remember crying publicly only a handful of times in my years as an adult.
    The birth of my children were very emotionally draining.
    My father's funeral.
    And... don't laugh.....When LSU won their first BCS National Championship. I was drunk. :drinker: :cry:

    I cry often but it's usually when I'm overwhelmed and stressed out. I hate that crying is how I react to stress. It's happened a few times in work situations and it's embarrassing... I can't really control it, though.

    Exactly. I have like... a level of "normal" and anything over that is water-works. I get SO happy for other people too, immediate tears.

    I cry all the fkn time. You know when something is really funny, because tears are streaming (then again I laugh at everything), if I see someone sad, I cry. If I see an animal hit by a car, I cry. I see a car accident, BOOM, cry. I hear about a tragedy in some far off land, cry. Someone says something rude/insulting to me, I fkn laugh because I know I'm awesome.

    I cry way more often from laughter than anything else. If I do cry from being upset, I do it in secret.
