Women and their crying

Pighead

Is there a scientific explanation as to why women tend to cry way more than us manly men? Pighead and his lady friend went to see that boy in the stripey PJ's last week and she was bawling her eyes out, DURING THE TRAILERS! She was a complete quivering wreck by the films end. She called Pighead a robot for not crying and questioned the functionality of his tear ducts.

Fair enough there's nothing wrong with crying during a sad film but women (and by women Pighead means every single woman in the whole wide world) cry during soaps, that animal hospital programme and sometimes even big brother.

They cry at strangers on the telly yet when Pighead catches his finger in the cutlery drwer they cackle like hyenas. What's wrong with them?

Is there any men here who cry more than their other half/mother?

The worst has to be women sitting on the street balling their eyes out after the nightclubs close, surrounded by a group of concerned friends. FFS, can you not wait until you get home to play the crying game instead of looking like a tit in public???

That's usually a ploy by girls to lure unsuspecting kind hearted men over in an attempt to drag them back to their love pits.

ORLY? What time do niteclubs close these days?

I saw that film last week too and it's was pretty sad but it left me more depressed and angry than teary. I guess women are just more sensitive to things but they say crying is good for the soul and women live longer for it. BS i say.

Probably about 10.30 at this stage. Stupid licensing laws.

So RobertFoster, are you a cryer?

Personally, I cry like an infant when I'm physically hurt. But when it comes to films and the likes, I'm usually completely unaffected. That includes The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas which elicited a mere "Meh" from me after it's "emotional" ending.

You're probably bang on the money there Tigger. Sounds very plausible. Although Pigheads pretty sure that she cried when Ben Stillers arms were blown off in the tropic thunder trailer.

Yeah but c'mon there has to be exceptions.

Like, if your girlfriend rang you up bawling her eyes out and said to you "Oh hunter, i've just had some horrid news, my favourite Aunt Milly has just died after choking on a chicken bone. I'm inconsolable", surely you wouldn't retort with the words "Bollox to that"?

Obviously,I meant it for the pointless wingin' that you pointed out.

That explains it! Very few know that Pighead was Arnie's double in Terminator II, where the future leader John as a kid was crying, and Arnie Pighead asked him, "What's the matter with your eyes?"

You could say crying over a dead Aunty is a bit pointless as well. A few tears isn't going to bring poor old Milly back is it?

Anyway what are you like with the old crying hunter. When's the last tiem you had a good old wail?

I saw "The Crying Game" and cried. Does that count? Women should not have a b0llox!

Pighead only cries when he is on his own. Never ever in public. Nobody must ever see the tears. Sometimes when the rain falls down Pighead will have a good old weep in the streets safe in the knowledge nobody will be any the wiser.

Every woman is wrong until she cries, and then she is right - instantly.

Nope no can do. The last thing Pighead needs is a load of snotty goo on his Saturday Weekend Jumper of Fun.

Does that include Miss Piggy? I mean, she cries in front of you when she sees an emotional film trailer and you don't cry in front of her at all? That shows a serious lack of balance in your seemingly doomed relationship. You could almost say it's enough to bring you to tears...

Miss Piggy should especially never see her rock cry. Women need to have a figure of stability and strength to make them realise they are safe from harm and hurt in this cruel cruel world.

Imagine if Iceland declared war on Ireland and Brian Cowen came on the television to announce it whilst bawling his eyes out. The war would be lost before it even began. We need our leaders to show strength. Pighead is Miss Piggy's Brian Cowen.

Yeah but Pighead, your stoicicity could be easily misconstrued as aloofness. How can you possibly show Miss Piggy you care without showing your full range of emotions when appropriate? Even perceived rocks need to shed a few every now and then, to show you care.

Pigheads not all about the aloofness. He can do romantic too. We sing Sonny and Cher's "I got you babe" on that singstar game for the Playstation together.

So you can share the fun times but not the bad? What if your sty or something burns down? What if your family (her inlaws) are turned into porkchops in an epic cull and you refuse to cry in front of her? She could take it personally and think it's somehow her fault you can't show a basic human emotion. Or think of you as this emotionless robot, unable to bypass its programming when its family are slaughtered. Either way Pighead, you need to let those tear drops fall, if only to satisfy the supposed whims of somebody else.

The Cure said it best when they said "Boys don't cry" They're right. That's just the way things are. Pighead could cry but they would be false tears which would confuse and maybe even baffle Miss Piggy. Why bring confusion and bafflement into a relationship?

Anyway if Pighead ever decides to cry he wants to be sure there is somebody around to wipe his tears for him.

and who better than Miss Piggy, I ask?

mac_attack

Know girls who have cried at the dog dying in I am legend and the ending of Juno, could understand the crying at the dog dying bit, but Juno? ugh I was just fed of the film at that stage. Anyways men may not cry but what about the getting a lump in your throat? Things like genocide and heroic soldiers dying etc. can give me a lump in my throat if done right.

But she laughs when Pighead gets his fingers caught in the cutlery draw. How can a man trust a girl to wipe his teras of sadness when she yelps with glee at her partners misfortunes?

You may say the relationship therefore is a sham but if that's the case well then call it a beautiful sham. We're shambolic together and that's all that matters.

Assuming that question is directed at me and not an open rhetorical question, no.

GirlInterrupted

I'm a cryer and not in the closet about it.

I saw The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas, and yes, I sobbed afterwards, but it was grown-up, lip-biting, head-bowed-so-no-one-could-see-me-cry crying...

I cry when I'm overwhelmed by problems or hormones too, but as with the sad movie and book, I try to be private about it, usually I can contain it until I'm face-down in the pillow (alone!).

If I'm hurt by a person, I wouldn't let them see me cry about it, thats the most private crying of all, its not used as a weapon in any way.

Crying is a safety-valve, if I couldn't let the emotions out by crying, I might very well be a bitter, cold, unfeeling, shell of a human being, or explosively angry and volatile.

Like some men I know. And to be fair, some women.

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5

I'm not a crier. With good reason too, last time I unbottled my emotions I ended up physically attacking several members of my family and bawling my tits off because of world poverty (although, I was terribly drunk at the time). So those feckers are staying bottled up for a good few years again, they're more bother than they're worth. Sad movies, horrible things happening to other people, these make me giggle. Physical pain might make the old eyes water but I definitely won't start snivelling. As for the hormonal weepies, I'm quite content to let my vajayjay weep blood and leave the tear ducts out of it all together tbh

Like I say, they're only human. If I had to sit through Juno again I'd be crying, I can assure you.

I cackled just reading about it. Sounds a bit like me :pac:

I only used to cry alone if I needed to, but when the boyf and I went on holidays in March he said something that upset me (he didn't really mean it) in the middle of dinner at a restaurant and all of a sudden the tears were pouring down my face. The look on his face; he was mortified/horrified. We're going out over a year and a half at this stage and he'd only seen me cry twice before (family deaths).

But now I seem to cry at anything! It was like the outburst on holidays set something off, now I cry all the time! It's a pain in the ass.

Popinjay

I'm sure Piggy can express his emotions just fine without resorting to the womanly option of crying.

As a great man once said:

"Crying isn't proof of a greater capacity to feel, it's proof of a greater capacity to cry"
- Dylan Moran

Us men have better ways to show how we feel. If we're drinking a bottle of whisky to ourselves and not speaking, we're probably unhappy about something.

I'd want to have bet serious money on them for that to happen.

I think women like crying. No man has ever said: "Great film, I got a good cry out of it"

BroomBurner

Crying is also a way of releasing salt build-up from the body (like potassium, etc.). If there is a build up that needs releasing, then the body will trigger an emotion-response from the brain to make the body release these salts. If it can't be done through sweating, then crying is a good option!

So Pighead, that's why you (well, men in general) naturally smell bad and you're girlfriend (women in general) cries!

Keep her off the bananas!

My other half is far too emotional and prone to crying. I blame her father though, he's a sensitive soul.
