How To Be A Man: Cry Watching A Movie (Like a Man)

Cinema is a powerful thing. It has told some of the most thrilling and action packed stories of all time. But there are also terrible movies as well. These movies are called chick flicks, and are usually about how a girl longs for the big handsome hunk, while he is with the stupid blonde bimbo. The girl confides in her best friend (a guy) who she has grown up with. He tries to help her the whole time, while he secretly in love with her. Things happen through the movie, and the guy friend somehow finds out that the guy she is in love with is truly a big duchebag. She falls in love with the guy and the guy gets her....The End.

Now what does this have to do anything with How To Be A Man and cry watching a movie (Like a Man)? These are the movies that women expect you to feel something for at cry at ....Don't. These are badly conceived ideas that feminist bra-burning women petition to get made in Hollywood. I am now going to tell you how to cry like a man.

Most good movies are in three genera's. First you have Comedy, not any of those crappy teen comedies like American Pie, or the terrible wave of parody movies. Real Comedy. Then you have Action... the manliest of all three for sure. Last, you have Drama.

Most men do not like Dramatic movies, and will only see them because they get dragged to them by girls. The problem is that most men have only seem the bad, girly, dramatic movies. I invite you to watch some of the better dramas. Classics, like Casablanca, The Godfather, Moonlight Mile, and some others.

This is how you truly cry while watching a movie and still can retain your manliness, but also can earn respect. These movie have great stories where the main character (A Man) somehow has to overcome extremely difficult odds and face up to his fears and be a man. Some of the stories deal with the man loosing his wife, or family. This should make you cry if you are a real man. Loosing the love of your life ...having it ripped away from you in an instant is one of the greatest emotions conveyed on film. There is no shame in crying at these points in a movie.

Another time is when the son reconciles with his father. We are all sons. We all have fathers. We have all fought with our fathers at one point in our lives. Forgiving, and being forgiven, and getting that embrace of your father is also a very powerful thing, and is so powerful in fact, that it should invoke in you emotions that seem to burst out of you.

So those are just a couple examples of points in movies where it is OK to cry...You will not be thought of as a girl, or a wuss. These are real manly issues being put on screen, and you have to think, if it was you on screen, what would be going through your mind.
