Maybe a better question was do gi'rls ALWAYS have to have a reason for crying/being upset? Before I read everyone's comments, I was thinking a definite no. Haven't you ever seen "Shannondoah"? Well, in the movie, a father is talking to his future son-in-law. He is sort of giving him advice on having a wife. The father tells the man that sometimes gi'rls will just be crying and if you ask them what's wrong, they don't really know. So you just need to love 'em and hug 'em a little. God created women with very sensitive emotions. Sometimes they just feel the urge to cry and let it all out. Nathan made a good point when he said, "Sometimes when it is a build up of a lot of small reasons then it seems completely unreasonable, but it is still initiated by a 'something.' " But I'm glad he added at the end, "That is logical reasoning, but then again, I have four brothers and no sisters so I really have no reason to base this logic on." I also appreciated Rachel's point about gi'rls maybe not always being quite so 'logical' and that if it's just 'hormones' than it really IS a reason in a way. I can't say I'm an expert on this subject, (even though I AM a gi'rl! ;-)) but from my own personal experience and what I've heard from others, gi'rls don't always have one specific reason for crying. It could be a build up of many small things, it could be one big thing, or it could really be nothing at all. I think in that sense, sometimes we, gi'rls, try to think of a reason why we might be upset and blame our emotions on a certian circumstance. But, at least for me, sometimes there is no logical explanation for feeling like crying. So maybe I'm one of those 'insane' people who walks around bursting into tears (which I really don't...I'm kidding. ;-)). Guys, just be aware (for future wives, daughters, or even mothers and sisters now) that women are made a lot differently emotionally and if you're ever in a circumstance where you find a crying/upset gi'rl, the first thing is not to ask what the problem is! If it's someone close to you who'd you feel comfortable doing it to, give her a hug or just be a 'shoulder to cry on'. I think that's the best thing ma'les can do sometimes. And I'm not trying to tell you to be 'gi'rly'...you can be sensitive and still be manly! ;-) Well...this turned out to be a lot more complicated and long than I expected. I enjoyed it, though. I'm also really enjoing Nathan's contest! Not only are people, obviously, updating more often, they are checking out other blogs more often, too! It's so nice to know that you'll always find something new to read even if it's just a couple sentences long! So definite props for Nathan for coming up with the idea!! :-D Song of the post~Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Greenday Charity | 6:18 am Comments-[ comments.] |
