Dude, what if OPs a girl? We have some serious crying issues

70, you're not helping.

But you're pathetic for putting up a headless picture.

Yes, that makes sense...all pictures must have heads in them to not be pathetic. Your logic is what is pathetic. Go back to the drawing board with your insults and try to think of something clever next time.

Isn't your family proud for raising and ass for assuming?

20 - This everyone is called POJECTION, note the FML had NOTHING to do with girlfriends or sex yet he felt the need to degrade op like that.

Wasn't trying to degrade OP. I made a joke that wasn't well received and I apologize.

reddudeover and A_TEEN - it was a joke (not "pojection") and it was funny. Maybe you two need to cry it out together. Zingline - Don't apologise for making a joke. If it doesn't work, just move on. My comment above was buried because I dared suggest that OP actually face his stress instead of crying about it. There's nothing wrong with crying, and crying does reduces stress, but it doesn't do anything to address the actual cause of said stress. I guess I inadvertently offended some people, so I expect this comment to get buried along with the last one.

Simple typo on a small touch screen, can you ever forgive me? In your opinion, it was funny. Not all jokes are and as I'm sure you're well aware that is completely subjective/ arbitrary. Not everything said under the opspice of "being a joke" should be ignored. Lastly my comment WAS tounge and cheek and you seemed to have missed that.

81 - Must you overreact to everything you disagree with? With caps for emphasis, no less?

Was "opspice" tongue-in-cheek too, or just a failed attempt at using a fancy word like "auspice"? How about "tongue and cheek"? Wait, let me guess - that was sarcasm, right?

87 - I don't know how you visualize my reaction, but I ASSURE you I'm quite calm. Simply vocing my disagreement =/= "overreacting". 88 - Have you completely abandoned your argument in lieu of ad hominem attacks?

I wasn't aware we were having an argument. Though I'm pretty sure you mean "in favour of" rather than "in lieu of". I realise you're trying to sound smart by using phrases like "ad hominem", but you keep negating it by floundering elsewhere. I'm sorry, what were you saying?

Reddudeover... If you didn't get the joke and/or didn't find it funny, thumb it down, maybe post one comment about it, then get over it. What you're actually doing is completely ripping into this guy for making a simple joke, i.e. overreacting. Is there any need to put him down that severely for (and I shall say it once again) a joke that, in all likelihood, the majority of teenagers would have made? Seems to have hit a sore point then...

97 - Thanks for the correction, you know no one's perfect. If you AGREE that crying can relieve stress and I NEVER said or even IMPLIED that op shouldn't face their problems then what is your deal? 98 - I made ONE comment to the person that started this thead the rest have been in response to everyone else.

I thought this might have been a reference to an earlier fml about the guy who's girlfriend e-mailed him the 10 tips for avoiding premature ejaculation. Prolly wrong though.

Real men show feeling and don't bottle them up.

23- i have a solution for you. Get a punching bag.

Ruffclue, does a used body bag count?

Some believe that men who cry are more 'manly' for even giving a crap instead of bottling up emotions.

The men who cries are only one that believes that crying is more manly for giving a crap instead of bottling up emotions. I think if you lose someone you love or a family member then its ok for anyone to cry. But i think in Ops case he was crying because he was stressed. Thats a sign of weakness and not believing in urself.

It's a joke folks. Don't take it too seriously.
