    Yes, but not in this case. He's a compulsive liar AND a cry-baby.

    ... :eek:

    Something tells me you analysed everything he said a bit way too much. He sounds to me like a pleaser and didn't want to get you needlessly angry over some non-issue that you would eventually blow up into a major issue.

    You sound like a controlling person remembering trivial mnatters and making a big deal over them. The fact that he cried is a great dissapointment but it is my humble opinion that the man is better off without you and you did him a favor.

    Well, I'm just glad that we all agree that crying is an inappropriate male expression of emotion.

    Negative. The only approved manner of expressing grief is to punch mirrors and consume Jack Daniel's.

    I wouldn't necessarily say inappropriate--just that there are many inappropriate times to do it. The only times a man should be able to cry freely is 1) they're holding their own child for the first time, or 2) they're telling you about their beloved dog from childhood, or 3) they're overwhelmed by a gesture of genuine friendship or trying to speak openly about a dear friendship. (i.e. my husband's best man getting choked up at our wedding--it was very moving). However, these are rare moments, and rightfully so. There are probably some other ones I've missed that I'm okay with, but I can honestly say I've only seen my husband cry twice in seven years of being together.

    Little lies do add up to big ones eventually. Stay away from this guy, move on, and find someone willing to be more honest with you. A liar and a crier...ugh. No thanks.

    Single-malt Irish whiskey. It's why Irish eyes are smiling.

    Any man who claims he didn't cry at least once while watching Braveheart is either lying or fell asleep.

    You do what you gotta do, Canada. In America... we handle things with booze and violence... like real men.

    Rumor has it dogs actually rate higher on the male emotional scale than women.

    I think that's true for women, too...the emotional scale, that is.

    I think it's fair to say that women are on a higher scale than men in just about all areas...

    Obvious jokes aside, I do think that crying is a better male emotional response than, say, domestic violence or homicide.

    I've found myself crying at weird times, usually when drunk, because I didn't cry when it actually made sense to do such.

    ...

    Way to put the pussy on a pedestal.

    Crying is no more or less manly than not crying.

    For the record, I've witnessed many full-grown, hairy men crying about their pets. So, it happens even to the toughest of you.

    No, I meant that women are more apt to cry about their pets than they are about their men, too. At least, that's how I read what he wrote.

    They are different, though. Our pets are like our children.

    Man, fuck this phrase! I want anti points for every time I see it written out. If I "like" then "unlike" a post does that deduct two points?

    Sure thing, but I'd take a bare fistfight with my mates over them sitting next to me, beer/liquor bottle in hand, and sobbing about the love of their lives and how she left him.

    Fuck me.
