    Heh, I remember we made a guy in school cry because we kept chanting "Nayim from the halfway line" over and over.

    That's mainly because crying is a very effective method of venting. Crying can express a multitude of emotions.

    It's a wonderful thing indeed.

    I cry all the time. It can get embarrassing. I've cried at movies, I've cried at games, I've cried during exams...
    Damn my exceptionally girly tear ducts.

    Tar, I always think your avatar looks like its about to cry. Its a rather sad image I think.

    Me cry, yep. Period pains :mad: , coming home from america after 6 months and seeing my parents, then realising I wasnt going back to america :( , but looking at me I aeem like a tought cookie. And I never cry at films or books or programmes. Jesus my mother used to always get going while watching Surprise Surprise "Here chuck, here's the father you haven't seen in tweny fivvve years...SURRRPRISe, SURRPRISE!!!!!" And she'd be off!!! lol

    Cried about a month there while drunk.
    Woke up crying about a friend who i never see ( i should be seeing him this weekend tho)
    pretty, was a fúcked up dream alright think he god kidnaped or something lmao.

    Hardly shed a tear tho when my Grandmother died, when they moved the coffin, and when they put the coffin in the ground i cried for about a minute each time. Nothing at the wake tho, I think id be different when it comes to my Grandfathers funeral as him and me were always close.

    Thou should be slapped for your blasphemous comment.

    Interestingly, my girlfriend started crying today because I kept gently poking her.

    And they say romance is dead. ;)

    I can cry pretty easily if I want to. I should be an actor.

    Watching TV doesn't really make me cry though I remember I shed a few tears over that ER episode where Dr Greene died. Then again, if you can't cry over that episode you're a monster!

    Yes. Yes I do.

    No, I might get a bit watery eyed at a very good movie or something, or if Im hungover and the most rediculous disney movie or baywatch episode is on I might get a bit teary eyed but it would never result in tears. The last time I cried was about 4 years ago when I broke up with someone.

    I've only cried about 3 or 4 times in my life. Nearly started crying about 2 months back when I had to have my dog put down though. Had to hold it in while I was in the vets office though, and once I hold a feeling in, I find it difficult to come back to it...

    When he wakes up after a wild party and instead of waxing his eyebrows they wax parts of his beard

    Sounds strange when you mix those two together in one sentence.

    Know what gets me, a male, teary? Animals being hurt. If I see on tv/dvd/whatever/real life animals getting hurt, dogs and cats being killed in movies, even that scene in Ice Age where the wall painting show the baby and mother mammoth getting attacked and the dad being speared, I felt sadness welling up in me...

    Nah I'm too manly tbh.

    I used to when I was kid tho but that was usually due to physical pain or anger.

    I've never ever cried at a movie, dead relative/pet, break-up or because Ireland/Bohs won/lost etc.

    I've always wondered what 'tears of joy' are like tho. Perhaps some day I'll get to try it.

    Who?

    Wehn I get overly fustrated with myself or if someone is annoying me I'll end up crying and cursing the world cos every1 hates me. My ex-boyfriend used to let me down an awful lot and I went through a stage of about a month before I broke up with him where I would start crying by just thinking bout him... Still unsure why it took a whole month of that before i got rid!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,496 ✭✭✭*Angel*


    Yeah I cry.

    I cry quite often.

    As an adult it can be very frustrating, especially if you're trying to stay composed and get through a discussion / argument.

    It doesn't take a lot most of the time to bring the tears to my eyes and sometimes I figure I'm a freak but then other females I've spoken to say they're the same.



    I'm curious though if yis think it's a sign of weakness for a man to cry in public.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 779 ✭✭✭Flashling


    I cry when I laugh, it gets pretty bad when I'm in class and someone says something not even that funny...I can also cry on cue (I'm ashamed to say I used that to get me out of P.E. Just a little welling up.) Never in pain though, maybe in anger?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,688 ✭✭✭grimloch


    I'm sort of the same, if a good joke is told amidst the laughter my eyes start to water for some reason. Luckily enough it rarely needs explanation.
