it has something to do with stress/pressure: To much emotional stress is too much for the body, so crying is like a way to let your stress/anger out. How can ppl say they don't like to see men cry, well of course if he cries non stop then I would kick him out *g* But I'ld definitely never want a bf that would cry when he is deeply touched, trying to surpress his 'emotions'! *nono*
I cry a lot, but just because I have sensetiv eyes that react to the slightest brezze of wind!! (that is something way different hehe) :dielaughing:
LOL :rofl:
ryoko-chan... i know, i think we all need to cry sometimes... just that i believe the type of culture that i was raised up with... they really have this constricted idea about what is feminine and what is masculine... i don't agree with most of it... it's too stereotypical... after i saw the "Aiba's Letter in 24-jikan terebi" clip... i really think that guys who cry are actually very strong! coz it takes guts to cry in front of pple... even i feel a bit insecure about crying in public... in 24-jikan terebi-ohno's task... after Deaf 11 group danced... and one of them said something... when they focused on ohno... he cried, i guess he was choked up, not able to say anything... i just completely :inlove: with him... really, i 've never seen anyone so 'man-ly' in my life...

lol, my bro is a techno freak. Some techno songs are nice but I can't listen to them while doing homework. (while my bro can. I wonder how? It drives me nuts! :beaten:) He wouldn't openly say he likes the songs that I play on the com...since I play 90% japanese songs :mrgreen:. He doesn't like japanese stuff unlike me. But I guess some Arashi songs have a nice beat to it and that made my bro pay attention to the songs.
You know, I have been playing Arashi songs a real lot! And I don't even know that I was addicted to their songs, lol. I just found out that I was when I bought the Iza now cd instead of the other cds from other singers that I planned to buy. baka me. haha :bonk:
Yup, i'm still wondering about the same thing too... i used to listen to a lot of Japanese artistes... male or female alike, just as long as their music's great, i'll listen to them... but when i knew about arashi... i don't think it was their music that caught me... their personality is so... bizarre i guess, quite different from what i've experienced before... after that, i just sorta 'swallowed' everything about arashi... no matter which song... i would listen to them all... and i've deleted all the other artiste's songs from my harddisk, coz it takes too much space LOL....

Well, all my friends know that I adore femine men. They sometimes make a joke out of a pic of arashi 'cos they look 'too girly' on it or something, but for the rest they just go along with me. I mean, they had to indure spending a whole day watching Jun in Gokusen. :hehe:
But my bro. is a whole different case, he's always critising people that I like. :grumble: But I don't find Arashi that femine, they have a manly and a femine side. Which is why I love them all so much....but Jun the most.
LOL, most of my friends who like Jun as Sawada Shin obviously had a shock when i showed the real 'matsujun'...LOL... my friends have big crush on Sawada Shin! i just don't understand them... they are really so rigid about being man-ly... Jun is okay as Jun...ne?
hmm.... i don't really think that Arashi is too feminine... in fact they look more man-ly than most groups... good thing Happi-kun never critisize openly about my choices of guys... because if he did, i would be more than happy to critisize his... we both respected each other preferences in opposite sex... in fact he would often come to me if he ever had any girl-problems...
momo-chan dearie, i could hear u calling my name from far :inlove: ... missed u too... lol... i pity our male relations sometimes... they have to try so hard to be all macho... i'm glad i don't have to pretend to hate something just because it's appropriate to do so... hehe, i remembered u the first time u posted here, saying how lonely u felt... now i think u've gathered more courage to spread the storm's love... u've improved soo much!!! i'm so proud... see, u're not alone u know... sometimes i felt like it too... well, u are actually my senpai, since u've known arashi way back when they're jrs... i couldn't ever top that... gambatte kudasai, momo-chan!!! :victory:
