Emotional extremes.
Long periods without blinking.
Foreign objects in the eyes.
Certain gasses in concentration.

I express my emotions as they occur.
If the emotion causes tears, I let them out.
I am secure in my manhood enough that I can embrace emotions without a feeling of shame.

I cried at the theater while watching Godzilla (2014).
I had tears streaming down my face.
It was because I was so intent on the film that I failed to blink enough to keep my eyes moist.

I cried at the end of The Notebook. It impacted my memory of my life experiences too closely and caused an emotional release.
The woman I was with said it made me human.
I have re-watched the film and not cried.
Not because the association was different but because I had already embraced that emotion.

I've cooked a dinner for a lady before and cried while cutting up a potent onion. She asked me what was wrong. When I told her it was the onions she thought I was hiding something that was sad. It took a lot of talking to change her per-conceived notion. Not because I was ashamed of crying but because she had it all wrong.

I cried when I realized my marriage was ending. I cried for my loss when it finally did. I cried for my children and my unborn grandchildren that they would never know "Grandpa and Grandma" as a loving couple. I don't cry about those things anymore because those emotions have been released.

I cry tears of joy when my children and grandchildren drive all the way down here to visit me. When my disability check arrived with my settlement I cried with joy when I saw the amount and at the relief of debt that was going to happen.

I cry whenever the emotion needs to be released.
There are many reasons why I cry.
I'm human and humans have emotions - I embrace them and let them play out so I can regain my contentment.

Edit to change "the" to "they" because it didn't read right after I posted.

It was the horse radish..

When I was a young kid, I had a few operations that left me in extreme fear of hospitals and doctors. When I was older and married and had to get a minor operation and I was in a panic. My husband was no help. I went into myself and thought of my movies and thought, ok what would Rambo or Clint Eastwood do. I got really tough and that was the only thing that got me through it.

I cry when I get ready to go see a movie, spend the time getting ready and getting everything set. Fighting traffic, standing in line and then realizing the movie is going to be terrible and the tears stream. Or if I go through the check out line with a few items and the person in front seems to test the limits of human endurance with asking every question known to man as if it is a social gathering, or if I stub my toe on the side of the bed.

You are so sweet, I bet your not single? you nearly made me cry

Not much... Maybe a solid kick in the balls... I got no more tears to give.

Hello

That's so sad!

ok

I've seen men cry, they are human beings with emotions, just as women are. We all cry for different reasons.

I guess for me, it's not so important what makes a man cry. What I am more interested in is how a man would like me to respond if and when he cries? I suppose it depends on the man.

Man or Woman, if you want to cry,then cry.

I guess I asked for it. I was so stupid!

100X !!!

Of course some other times also.

When I punch myself in the face,,,real hard!

yeah that can do it too.

I was referring to the part where you said you have no more tears to give. If the other happened, well, that's just wrong...even if you were stupid.

LOL! I was referring to that, too... FYI my balls are fine - Well, unhurt I mean

LOL Rooster, you are the MAN!!!
