sure, same thing - and there's nothing wrong with getting emotional - emotions are all fuzzy and tingly :lol: not everybody gets the privilege of getting them to their full extent from things like movies


Ok same thing, gotcha

So if a heterosexual man did that, would you see it as very normal? Or would it be a bit feminine?

Nope, not at all. I don't judge! :h:

Men are as entitled to express their emotions as much as women and they're there for a reason, plus some Disney films are definitely able to make even the toughest people shed a tear lol, nothing to worry about :h:


Not asking about entitlement tbh, more like the sort of questions I asked AthiaKarim above.

Have you seen Wreck-it-Ralph? Did this make any guy you know cry/shed a lot more than just a tear?

lmao dpmo


ur my troll :perv:
Imagine the situation where a father is watching a Disney movie with their kid and mid way through the father starts crying. Hed look over to his kid and the kid would be rock glued to the screen without any signs of emotion. The father would be thinking "damn how is this kid holding it together..."

The kid after realizing their father is breaking down would be like "oh please.. ive seen worst"

haha.

although, in my opinion, randy newman's singing (casted by pixar, of course) in toy story and a bugs life was a bit derpy, like all his other songs :lol:

Ok so does that mean it is a very neutral thing i.e. if you were on a date it wouldn't make you like him more or less?

Or as I asked AthiaKarim above:

between a guy who can't stop crying while watching a happy movie with you and a guy who is very cool, content and collected during the whole movie which one would you rather date/ be in a long term relationship with?

It depends on their overall character; I personally like emotional guys because I'm emotional myself, however there is such a thing as too emotional. Both scenarios sound okay to me.

It's probably out of the ordinary, but not abnormal. Crying or tearing up is natural.

Most likely you relate to the film in some way? I've only ever gotten teary eyed at one film personally, and it was because what happened resonated very deeply with me.

So yeah, it's fine. Don't overdo it though...
Dw about it.

They're both okay sure but if you had to choose one of them based solely on that one piece of information which one would you choose?

Finally someone gives a straight answer!

So basically a man can visibly tear up in public at a happy Disney movie such as Wreck-it-Ralph as it is a natural response (normal people do this) but it is not ordinary to see it so try to reduce it at least in public.

Whereas for a woman it is both normal and ordinary to see it so they don't need to change anything but a man probably should.

Thanks I think I understand the gender difference now.

Yeah. Men are seen as more stoic due to their protective role, and rightly so and we should be proud of that. Women are more emotional naturally. So if a man does cry, it's far over something far more serious than what a woman might cry over. And that is perfectly fine and you should not be ashamed of it, no matter what anyone else thinks.

However, it's still our duty to be the protector, and it doesn't reflect well on us if we're crying over everything haha.

This is simply another natural difference between men and women.
