ScoobyWon't

I went to the cinema last night, took a friend with me as her kids are away for the night and she said she was lonely.

I had a brainwave (rare, I know) I'll take her to see Marley & Me - cute puppies are bound to cheer her up.

Well, no-one had told me how emotional the film is!

Anyway, the film played. Hilarious stuff and a real tear-jerker too (I had a lump in my throat at on point).

On exiting, my mate nips off to the ladies room, so I stand around waiting in the foyer as everyone else exits the theatre.

At first I was mildly amused by 75% of the females crying. Then I noticed that loads of the big rufty-tufty fellas were trying to hide tears too! I've never seen a film make so many people cry before. Especially the bloke's who looked like they'd eat puppies

So there you go. Do real men cry? Obviously not at news about Jade Goody from reading her RIP thread on here, but at the thought of a dog going to heaven out come the waterworks.

I'll leave that thought with you.

I'm a real man. I wouldn't cry about a dog going to heaven.

Apparently is cool to be a queer metro-sexual ******* these days I'm by no means a manly man, infact i'm not that much of a man at all but i hate all this gay nonsense completely

Same for my lovely old cat.

I cried when my doggie was "neutered". I still cry at the thought of it...

You'll have to take my word for it:

When my children's (huge) Belgian Hare died, I dug a hole in the garden to bury it in.
When I laid the now very stiff critter across the hole it wouldn't fit. Not even diagonally.
Instead of digging a bigger hole I laid the Hare (Oscar) over the hole then applied a certain amount of downward force with the sole of my shoe, folding the animal in half until I was certain the earth would cover both upturned ends.
I got the kids to fill it in and went for a lie down.

Odds on

I cry every time I open her credit card statement.

She's got you as her secretary? I'd cry at the thought!

I cried on Thursday night when I had my dog Sam put to sleep....

But I didn't fold him in half, I dug a decent sized hole and planted a tree at the same time !

dunx

no - LOL

I cry if the moment arises, and dont mind admitting feeling emotional about SOME films and news stories.

Removed.

I must be a Ghayer then, because since losing both my parents, Mum just before Christmas, I cry at the drop of a hat. I've turned into a right sentimental old softie.

I think thats understandable Chunky. I feel for you mate.

I watched Marley and Me too last Friday and I really struggled to hold back the tears. Its a really touching fim and I dont care if it gets to me. It felt good after having a bit of a 'moment'!!

I like to think I am a real man....apart from the occassional cross-dressing But dogs are my weakness, no way am I watching that film, lest I have a lapse in masculinity!!

Women have more respect for men who show a little bit of their emotional side every now and then. So blub away but make sure you dont have snot running down your face as thats a big no no

I blub every now and then and don't mind admitting it. Odd considering I usually try to fight the tears at the time.

Bonehead

Real men only cry when they've taken one in the knackers or when their dog dies.

That's it!
