Real Men Don'T Cry

Real men don't cry or if they do they do it secretly for crying is unmanly, only for sissies. Machos don't show nothing but their best front, faking everything! don't ask me, that's just the way it is. A man with tears-streaked face? boy, not worth an iota of respect! might as well wear blouse and skirt. Picture Arnold Schwartzenegger all alone in his room, sobbing, perfect pretty picture, ain't it? Men crash their fists against the wall in anger, resentment and frustration than retreat to a far corner, yelping. Men know how to handle things because they are rugged and tough, to preserve the species, said Darwin. Real men just don't cry or if they do they do it secretly for crying is unmanly, only for sissies.
