okie dokie, if you say so

Oh man compared to some of you guys those starving children in Africa are living a fucking king's life.

It was wildly off topic though.
In fact it wasn't even close.
You really do bring it on yourself at times.

Considering I have seen more guys cry in the past 2 1/2 weeks than I have ever seen in my life, I have been forced to change my viewpoint, to ok under certain situations.

Every single woman I talk to says the complete opposite. To see a man cry is a huge bonus to them. Only a real man can cry. Of course women can tell the difference between a cry baby and a man who is not afraid to cry. I am very emotionally strong but I have been known to cry. I think it doesnt affect my masculinity at all.

If crying is considered manly then I must be the king of men.

Only men south of Crewe cry.

Stop being so atypically Northern. I cried when my son was born and proud of it.

I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with it, but when it's culturally unacceptable it makes it damn near impossible.
You can't just suddenly stop being something that's been drummed into you from an early age.
I hate to say it, but no way would I cry in the presence of another person.
And I'm an emotional guy.

I remember feeling the same way when my son was born, but the emotion had to be suppressed.
Of course it's typically Northern and it's probably the same in other places around the world.
For right or wrong, for me at least...that's the way it is.

I think it's culturally unacceptable full stop in England, but I honestly don't care. Do I hide my emotion? Of course I do, except from my partner and best friend no one has seen me cry. Times are changing though and if i'm upset I will show it.
