I definitely feel this. I sometimes have a hard time witnessing others cry in real life for this reason.

Amen!!

Even in my short time, I have come to realize that in real life, broken men usually can't be fixed. You just wind up with a lot of pain and heartache. But that's just my two cents.

My love life has taken a turn for the crazy. Maybe I will feel ready to write about it at some point. But for now to distract myself I thought I'd make a thread that we can all post in where we tell random fantasies or fancies we've had.

Mine:

-I've been very into my fandoms lately and I've been thinking more about female characters. (This is part of my real life problem right now, too!) I've gotten surprisingly into fantasies where one male and one female character cry together, which I used to hate. They are always young in these fantasies, teens or 20's, and they are always either siblings or close like siblings. NEVER a couple or in a romantic relationship.

-I was having a fantasy very early the other morning, before I even really woke up, where two characters who were close siblings were crying together but due to both of their strong personalities, neither wanted to acknowledge it. In my fantasy, the male character kept sniffling but refused to take his handkerchief out because that would be admitting defeat, admitting he was crying. But of course he eventually had to because if was just that bad. He was just crying that much. And I just imagined both of them drying their eyes like "yeah, shut up. We speak of this to NO ONE, okay?"

-It wasn't in that fantasy, but later I thought how great it would have been if their dad consoled them.

-Father/son stuff. Or any relationship that's like that in nature. Especially if it's like, one character who is late teens/early 20's and another who is like 35-40 and both are attractive. I want to think about cute male characters being consoled by their father figure.

-I guess a lot of family stuff. Which is weird because these fantasies do turn me on, because they're attractive people crying, but they aren't sexual in nature. In fact, if they turned to incest I would be completely disgusted and turned off. So I guess these scenes are sexual to me, the voyuer, but not at all to the characters in-scene.

-I recently had

The new X-Men is coming out next week and besides being a Marvel fan, it looks very emotional. I have heard that there is a good amount of male crying, and I would imagine female, too.

I personally would LOVE to see Evan Peters (my all-time favorite celebrity crier) cry as Quicksilver, but I doubt he will. His character seems more like the comic relief. I know I know, if I want to see him cry I could just watch the first four seasons of American Horror Story, but I want QUICKSILVER. The character is so cute and funny and I like to imagine that he puts on a brave front and tries to make everyone else laugh during hard times but inside he needs someone to hug him and to have a good cry, too.

But even if he doesn't, I am excited to see who does. Lots of good looking guys, and both James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender looked teary in the trailer. Is anyone else excited for this movie? Any characters/actors in it that you're hoping will cry?

Sadly not really, since I like men crying and they rarely do.

But with men, especially actors I have worked with, I have noticed that there are guys whose tears stream down their faces and those whose well in their eyes. In my experience the more conventionally masculine a guy is, the more his eyes just well rather than spilling. These are the same guys who tend to get really stuffed-up sounding and their voices get lower, maybe because so much stuff is kept inside.

The one actor I fooled around with this year who cried on command for me was a weeper. Tears fell down his cheeks. Not as many as most women, but the ones that did were very specific and pronounced. And he was one whose voice grew higher/younger sounding. This was maybe because he was more of a boyish type and young.
