I can't be the only one who hates macho crap and doesn't suppress my tears.

2. Partly unassociated
I've had / got friends who you would regard as being ultra extreme versions of Vinnie Jones in Lock Stock etc for example but they still crack up like me when watching Its A Wonderful Life or the end of City of Angels for example. They're just hard : not macho. Being hard don't stop guys from being sensitive.
Over here , outside of their own circles , macho guys are often regarded as being complete nutjobs to be laughed at by the other 98% or so of the population.

3. That's not fair.....
You either get a least a little misty eyed when watching "It's a Wonderful Life", or you can't stand to watch it.

4. That's one of the reasons I avoid sad movies.
But the other is that there is plenty of sad shit in real life. I'd rather use the TV for escapist entertainment like whomping willows, spaceship battles (Pew!! Pew-pew!) and stuff asploding.

5. When I hear "sensitive men," my first question is 'Sensitive to what?'
Me? Define "macho crap." I'm ambivalent about sports, lift weights only because of vanity, and am about the least competitive person you'll ever meet.
That being said, I don't cry in public for the same reason I don't fart in public. No one wants to see or hear that. But hell, when the doors are closed? Yeah, I'd cry my eyes out.
Would I hug another man? If they were a really good friend, but a handshake suffices most of the time.
Do I want to sit around and talk about my feelings? **** NO! Why should I discuss the results of brain chemicals in action?
Would I resort to violence? Never - I just don't see the point.

7. *raises hand*
tho it seems macho assholes get laid more...
that said I'm going towards the gay side, so I don't care.
more than a few good sci fi movies and shows have caused me to tear up
I am incapable of watching UP and not just ball my eyes out.
his memories of his wife tears me up, think of my failed marriage =
But I admit I wonder whats the point?
I'm sensitive and emotional, I was born this way. but I wonder why I should give half a crap about the other side if they're going to treat me like garbage before they even get to know me?
just a thought.

8. teeth.
it's probably all the stupid ancient metal fillings.
My Husband isn't "macho", actually I haven't heard that term in years LOL, but my Husband is manly, does guy things like watching sports and fishing, doesn't watch romance movies, the only time I saw him cry was when his Dad died, but it was brief and he held up for his Mom, he doesn't like hugging other men.
Hell I cry every time I think about all those macho DUmmies living off my back!

I really enjoy.....sensitive men. :cheersmate:
<<sensitive man.
I'm real ****ing sensitive.
That ***** "Fake Odin" needs a skull splitting.
You know Bally, the most insensitive of the sex is to me the female. Survival I guess and has astounded me just how macho or savage some woman become.
Sensitive men, ----when I need a nurse 24/7 in a home, I pray I get a gay orderly, some of the female nurses I have worked with treat the patients like just a pain in the butt an everyday problem to either ignore or a piece of broken furniture.
Just what is a sensitive man or woman for that fact. I cannot count all the woman that have complained to me about husbands that ignore a baby with a full diaper in pain and crying but have some excuse for not changing the diaper, releaving their own child from pain as they cannot HANDLE the smell. Yet some of these men have in war cleaned the crap out of a Buddy's pants, blood off their body, and had no problem with the smell. ----Go figure.
Sensitive men that will sit for hours in a bar drinking beer to be there for a buddy going through a hard time. No hugging or hand holding, just being there for a friend.
Sensitive men that make sure when the family dog or cat dies is buried before the kids come home from school and place a marker there..
Sensitive man is one that brings wife and new born home from the hospital and does not ask his wife, what are YOU going to cook for supper.
Sensitive man, one who sends on his own flowers to his Mom on Mothers day. Man one that does not have to ask wife or girlfriend what they want for birthday or Xmas, they her well enough to know what will make her happy.
Sensitive men do not have to cry at sad movies, but even the least sensitive will tear up putting a favorite animal down or even go into shock and be unable to shed tears at the funeral of a friend or family member.
Now as far as sensitivity goes, woman will cry at the drop of a hat when they loose control or feel offended or threatened. However history shows that in war the woman are greater warriors then most men. They may tear up at first then go Gung Ho at the enemy, no quarter taken.
Sensitivity at best is to be aware of others and their needs and respond accordingly, Insensitive is to ignore the needs of others and give a darn about anyone but themselves, their needs and desires.

So am I. I cried, for example, at the end of The Wrath Of Khan when Spock died. :bawl: :tongue:
These people disgust me. What I wouldn't give to see a drill sergeant kick their @ss.
Robin Williams and the movie where he played a man named Garp. Strange and interesting characters, weird story line, but at the end I through my tears looked at my 20 year old son, he was also tearing up big time.
Insensitive ADULT men remind me of the 13-14 year old boys that will put a dead frog in their sisters bed.
Please don't get me wrong here, the most sensitive men I ever knew turned into little boys when at work or play with no woman around. Anyone ever survive a night in a hotel that had a Shriner's Convention going on ???
Ok tough guys. Watch Old Yeller. I dare you!
:bawl:
Yeah, but that's different, Old Yellow was a dog.
I never cry at movies about people. What will get me every time is those "Incredible Journey" type movies with the 3 lost animals and so forth. I started crying 10 minutes into it. Couldn't go on. Also, remember that Warner Bros. cartoon with the bulldog named Marc Antony, and he adopts that little kitten, then proceeds to watch him possibly baked into cookies? Makes me cry. It was a well-done cartoon, and won many awards.

Is it just me, or did I hear every single vagina on the internet just suddenly slam shut?
