Women and their crying

Pighead · 27-09-2008 12:52PM #1

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?

krpc · 27-09-2008 02:21PM

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.
