Pinksoil,

I hope you work out the issue of not liking a crying man especially if you are being a T. Men have a hard time letting their emotions show, and sometimes it takes a gentle T to allow them to maybe cry for the first time, and without judgment. Crying is healthy for everybody. My T says God didn't create the eyes for just seeing.

I work very succesfully with mostly men in my internship, so I think I have my "issue" in perspective there. I was talking about men that I relate to in my personal life and that's just how I feel. I am not going to say that crying is wonderful and healthy and lovely just because it's the right thing to say. I'm going to say how I feel, and that is how I'm feeling right now. I agree with LMO-- what makes a man is subjective. Crying is not a characteristic that would be attractive to me in a man. I don't really think that your hope of me working out an issue before I become a T is needed because I have helped a lot of men reach a very emotional spot when I am doing therapy with them.
