You're too funny! Honestly - I'm trying to help. No need to be so defensive! I guess you blaming "society" for things is better than you blaming women all the time.
I just think it's funny that you can't seem to answer a question on your own - you have to bring all these other extraneous things into it. How often do you cry - it isn't that hard of a question.
Hey, you were the one who came here with the drama “Who the heck did you…?!?! Blah blah blah” I just replied how you basically agreed with what I said, yet, you came with the drama. If you agreed, was the drama necessary? Why not let it be?
Nope, not blaming women, that is why I used BOTH GENDERS so that maybe you could understand. But it seems you don’t. I had to use an example to show you how there are double-standards and one of those includes men crying compared to women crying. You still don’t seem to get it.
I think someone who never cried would be creepy. I mean, I just expect normal human beings to have a normal range of emotions and expressions of those emotions.
However, it should be pretty devastating (death of dog, sick parents) or really emotionally touching (wedding, graduation) to set off waterworks...I'm not double-standarding the guys...I don't like it when women cry, either. It seems...like people like that have less control of themselves and I feel emotionally manipulated. It's hard to take them seriously after that.
My husband used to think I was trying to manipulate him by crying. In fact, it used to make him angrier with me! I think (or at least I hope) he now realizes that I just have overly active tear ducts. Even though I'm an actress - I've never been able to cry on cue. I just can't help it that I cry whenever I get angry or frustrated or sad or etc.!

I know what you mean about the overactive tear ducts. Anger makes me tear up. I don't know why, but if I get mad enough, my vision literally gets blurred.
I guess my issue with not taking people seriously if they cry often also extends to any display of extreme emotion over and over...if some jackass is always getting mad and yelling, I don't take him seriously, either.
It's like, "Control yourself. You are a grown-up."
The crying (and yelling) always seems to derail any productive conversation. That's why I don't like it.
I yelled "mother****er" several times very loudly when I blew out my first knee, but I did not cry.
No...I have not cried from pain since I was a kid. And I rarely see adult patients cry from physical pain. In fact, it's so rare that when someone is crying, I suspect acting.
Which makes me think kids cry more from fear than pain.

Hm... Come to think of it - I don't usually cry from pain. I have cried before when I fell in the street in NYC. But it was more because I was frustrated at the cab driver that had honked at me for no reason, which caused me to fall in the street, and the other pedestrians that didn't offer to help me up. I think I was also having a bad day. But it wasn't from the pain. I'll tell you if I've cried from pain in a few weeks - after I've had my baby!
When I tore ligaments in my knee, I didn't cry or curse, all I could think of was any chance I had at a scholarship was gone.
I didn't say much that night.
Oh no! If you had told me - I would have done the crying for you.
