I personally wouldn't want to meet in real life, but I think that voice chatting anonymously over Skype might be fun. If you're interested, feel free to message me. I'm female (well, gender-flexible but leaning female and assigned female at birth) seeking a man who's interested in crying, recounting self obs, or roleplaying emotionally vulnerable scenarios. I'm about to turn 24 and seeking someone who is also in their mid 20s. Also, for the sake of disclosure, I am in a polyamorous relationship. I currently have one partner.

My goal is to be 100% comforting and gentle and to let you tell me anything and relieve stress with me. I am very non-judgemental of unique life situations, beliefs, and kink interests (partly because I am fairly unusual myself), so I hope to be a good listener. Of course, I'm sure that would require building up a lot of trust, so I wouldn't want to do anything intense right away. I'd rather take it slow, message back and forth for a while and have at least one kink-free call to get to know each other as people.

I don't cry easily and I'm not at all interested in my own tears, but I could share stories with someone I trust.

I was curious about the Meetup board, but it looks like it's closed for replies, so no one can post a topic there. Do the rules still allow people to suggest meetups? If so, please find my proposal below. If not, please let me know and I will edit out that portion of the post right away.

These are so wonderful and tender!

This is very much like me (although I have very little sex drive in general, so it's difficult to tell whether I get anything from crying specifically). Feeling the intensity of the other person's emotion is a good way to put it. It's also mostly related to masculine people for me. But, it is still incredibly romantic for me. I usually want to comfort the people I'm dating or have a crush on. 

I have talked with a therapist about this before, but I don't think she understood what I was talking about - she just said it is normal to want to comfort someone you're in a relationship with. I had more luck reading up on my own and reflecting on my childhood. There are a lot of potential reasons why this became important to me. One is that my mother used to tell me that my father (who was abusive) was incapable of feeling real emotions and that when he cried, it was only to manipulate us. So I was forbidden from comforting him. This probably created a lot of pent-up care and concern for crying people, especially men. Also, I was pretty emotionally neglected by my parents. I used to imagine the ways in which I would treat my future partners better than my parents were treating me, and that included listening to their emotions and rescuing them in their times of greatest need. So I think that when I'm comforting someone, I'm sort of also comforting my neglected younger self and making up for what happened to her.

I like words related to how crying affects the whole body, like "shaking," "trembling," or "collapse into __'s arms."
