the recent pussification of men

i don't know what it is about men these days but the instances of guys crying on my shoulder lately is ridiculous. we'll start with J (and i'll only use nicknames or initials to protect the privacy of my men). I was seeing him for a brief time after having met him on a dating website. I have him saved in my phone as Mr. Perfect - because at first he seems to be anything a girl would want. He's very sweet and i fell for his bonde hair, blue eyed all-american looks in his profile pic where he's holding up his nephew and grinning ear to ear. met him out a few times in the midst of moving out on my ex, at a time when i was an emotional wreck. J was patient with me, held me when i needed to be held, left me the hell alone when i wanted.... match made in heaven, right? except...one morning i get a text from him.

J: where are you?
me: home, what's up.
J: i'm crying, i need you
me: wtf?
J: my roommates moved out in the middle of the night and stole my sofa. i need to feel your arms around me.

at this point i'm dumbfounded. HE needs my arms around him? he was a marine for chrissakes. he's crying over a stolen sofa and a bunch of drunks that moved out on him????

me: i'm moving my furniture today, i can't do this right now.
J: i don't know what i expected. everyone else lets me down, why shouldn't you?

ok, really buddy??? wipe your tears on your skirt, grow a set and move on! i have no time for a weepy man.

Just recently J tried to get in contact with me again:

J: where ya been? i'm never gonna get to see you or your house am i? :(
me: ew are you whining?

MEN take note - we do not like to see you cry. Any man that has cried in front of me quickly notices that his calls don't get returned. The only acceptable times for me to see liquid falling from your eyes are if you are putting your dog to sleep, you just fell out of a building and broke every bone in your body, or i left your ass. then you can cry. any other time, suck it up nancy.
