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?

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.

Do you cry when your dog dies?

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

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.

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.

This gets better every time you post it.

I came pretty close. I like dogs way more than people.

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?

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.

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.

But men cry when their favourite team loses a game of what ever they are playing.

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 · 29-09-2008 03:25PM

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!

I only cry when a girl breaks my heart

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

Gay men who drool over 22 men chasing a ball and trying to put it in a hole.

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.
