Should men ever CRY in these situations? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 06-06-2006, 09:31 AM

Over the weekend I saw two things that I felt gave off a FEMININE VIBE. A man crying after he lost a basketball game and a guy crying around 4 other guys after he was rejected by a girl on a new dating show called-"NEXT" on MTV. I personally believe that you never ever cry after LOSING a game or cry around other men because a woman said he wasn't attractive. Both guys get the WIMP of the Week Award and should be ashamed for what they did ON CAMERA!!!!!!!. Unbelievable

I have to agree. I don't think men OR women should cry after losing a game. My dad used to make fun of the HS girls who would cry if they lost a tournament basketball game. They acted like someone died.

And if someone you never really knew or cared about rejects you, just move on!

I don't think ANYONE should be crying over either of those things, lol.

Well I guess I'm not one to talk. I am a very emotional person. I love crying!

I also think it'd be nice to have a boyfriend who's not afraid of sharing his emotions. Beats that macho guy crap

I've been known to bang the floor a few times after my team lost but I never cried.

I think it was okay for them to cry, actually.

Crying over a game is just childish and poor sportsmanship.

I think crying over a break-up or rejection for a little while is OK, but move on.

Brian Damage · 06-06-2006, 07:34 PM

I personally wouldn't cry over either of those things.

I agree, it just depends on the person.

I think it is okay for a guy to cry, but not over losing a basketball game or being rejected by a girl he doesn't even know. However, if a guy has had his heart broken or someone close to him has died, I think it is perfectly okay for him to cry.

Solomen, if you found out that Good Times was infact a spin-off of Maude, I could see you crying.

Well at least those two situations make a lot more sense.

Any sporting contest that I or my team lost I was either just incredibly aggravated, mad, and/or generally pissed off. I think my biggest concern was always not being a sore loser.

And crying over a girl you don't know is just plain pathetic and stupid- each one weighing equally.
