Small observation (m)

Ok, I'm going to have a go at posting an observation. It is relatively small but I'll tell you about it anyway. 

This happened a while ago and it involved a male friend. Just to be clear, I have no romantic feelings towards this person nor am I attracted to him in anyway. We are both happily married (to other people) and tend to hang out more as couples and families. I am probably closer to his wife than I am to him.

Anyway, it was a sad occasion as we were attending a funeral of one of his wifes elderly relatives. It was not someone who he was particularly close to so I expected him to be serious but certainly did not expect to see anything remotely like crying. Due to the nature of the event I wasn't particularly looking out for it either. He is also a business man and quite stoic so not someone I would ever expect or even imagine to see cry.
At the end when we were all outside chatting with the family I caught sight of him and noticed that everytime someone went over to shake his hand his eyes filled up and his bottom lip trembled slightly. It really surprised me and I was stood quite near so I went over to him. The tears were still in his eyes and his lip was still trembling intermitently. I have never hugged this guy in my life and only shaken his hand and maybe given him a quick peck on the cheek when saying goodbye after evenings out/parties etc, but I just couldn't help myself and I flung my arms around him! I held him for a few seconds and he readily hugged me back. When we let go we stood and talked for a few minutes and then he was ok.
It is only a small observation as no tears actually fell down his cheeks but it was clear he was very emotional, far more than I expected, and although I am not attracted to him at all I get a nice warm feeling when I see him now.


Crying does not indicate you are weak, since birth it has been a sign that you are alive.

Great observation -- no observation is too small!  You just never know what is going to make someone cry, I guess.  My last male observation was at a wedding, but it didn't even occur to me that the groom might cry that day (he did), yet I have watched and waited during several sad occassions for guys to cry, thinking it was the "right time", and they haven't even gotten a trembling lip.  So you have to keep your eyes open at ALL times!  I can imagine the warm feeling you must get when you see that guy now (even if it's not sexual attraction, a warm feeling is still nice!)

Fallingtears, is your husband the crying type, or no?  (I am married too, so just curious).

Hi Woundedpuppy,
My husband isn't afraid to cry in front of me but he doesn't cry very often. He certainly isn't someone who who cries at movies or anything. I have seen him cry a few times but usually it's been because of something that's been upsetting for both of us. I saw him cry once when his car got wriiten off though, that was kinda sweet.
He is really awesome wtih me when I'm crying though. I am not someone who cries very often so he know's that if I'm crying then something must be really wrong and I get lots of cuddles
He has no idea about my fetish though and although we are really great together I don't think I could ever tell him. It's just far too personal. I think some things are better left unsaid.
