Adi Dassler Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I had not cried since Hearts won the cup in 2006......until Saturday/Sunday. Got home at about 4am and went to bed with my headphones on. Sonnet by The Verve and there we go. No particular reason, just tears streaming down my face. No idea what it was all about. I agree with this guy: "I reckon men cry at odd times because they withhold the tears at more obvious times - it has to leak out some time but social conditioning frequently hinders this". I also had a tear in my eye last night during the final few pages of Crime by Irvine Welsh (his best book since Glue incidentally IMO). Perhaps i have opened some sort of floodgates.

scottish_chicP Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Seriously? Men really cry at that stuff on that list? Jeez.... I have to confess - other people crying makes me really uncomfortable, whether it's men or women. I get really embarrassed and never know what to say or do. Maybe it's because I used to get dog's abuse for crying even as a kid. My mother never let me forget how I "made a show of her" by crying at my dad's funeral, for heaven's sake. Crying just wasn't allowed in our house.... Wow that's a bit harsh not being allowed to cry at your dad's funeral. I cry for loads of things, sad films always get me. I'm a wouse!

I P Knightley Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 When listening to "The Green Fields Of France" on the coach after visiting the battlefields and gaveyards of WW1 in Belgium and France.. Had the same song going round in my head when I was at the Somme a few years ago. Definitely a lump in my throat and the same later as I listened closely to the song itself. Probably more tears of anger though as I thought about what was happening at the time as Blair sent British soldiers off to fight a war for oil. Especially so since Blair is on record as saying that this is one of his favourite protest songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 You're fecking joking right. Its a bloody animation (albeit a rather superb one). I am on this one. The kids had Toy Story 2 on in the car yesterday and when this came on I thought of adding it to the thread. Mind you, I wouldn't dismiss tearjerkers just 'cos they're animation. I mean, if Bambi's mum had actually died rather than being stunned with a flesh woulnd, I don't know how I would have taken it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller Jambo 60 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 IMO there should be rules about men crying, it is only acceptable in the following situations. 1) Children's birth's. Or said child doing something spectacular, like signing for a football team or the like. 2) Death of a family member, this excludes Auntie's and Uncle's unless brought up by them. Close male friends are acceptable also. But friend has to be friend for at least lifetime. 3) Football team winning something extraordinary. For Hearts this also includes Tennents 6's and upwards. Things hetrosexual men should never cry at: 1) Weddings, regardless of who's getting married. 2) Any films. And even if it is to score with the bird you're taking to the cinema. 3) Animals dying. Whats that all about. I'm sure there's more to add to both lists, mind's went a bit blank. I burst in to big tears at midnight post 98 final. Think it was mass relief TBH. Plus i was well gassed:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I remember sitting on my own watching the Atlanta Olympic Games opening ceremony and watching Ali trying to lift the torch to light the Olympic flame. The mans sheer determination and pride that he was going to do it despite his Parkinsons disease was amazingly emotional. I must have been the only person on Earth not to know in advance that Ali was going to light the flame. I was sitting watching the opening ceremony (on my own), quietly grumbling into my beer about all that schmaltzy nonsense. Then it happened. And I blubbed like a lost child. One of the most memorable sporting moments of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
