Demasculated 2.0

[Tuf_guy]

Okay, I know I don't make threads much, but I got some serious man-law shit I wanna talk about for a second.
First of all, for the unititiated who may scoff at the title - there is precedence for the use of the word "demasculate" (source: MDWv2 et al. http://forums.sherdog.com/threads/felt-demasculated-yesterday.3161717/).

So anyway, I'm in the mens room in a bar (same one where the Boise dime spotting occurred) and I hear two dudes talking. The one says "Hit me. Hit me. I love you man" in a soft voice. I'm thinking there's some drunken Fight Club shit happening outside of the mens room. Then the other mumbles and the first guy says "So what if she dumped you..."
The other dude starts sobbing and shit. The guy goes on "You'll be alright, you're strong" speech type of shit.
It seems like a tender bro moment and all. As I wash my hands, I'm even tempted to pass on a kind word or two on my way out.


Then somebody enters the mens room and I don't see the two bros standing outside the door. They're in a big fuckin' stall (the kind that's almost a separate room with an actual door, and one toilet)!
Other people realize what's going on, and I'm just flabbergasted!

I know heartbreak is rough. Crying over a girl seems a bit much to me
(even while drunk).
But have we gotten to the point of men going to the bathroom to cry in the stall with their buddy?!

Are we slipping this much as a gender? I know I could be overreacting, but what part of the game is this? Dude demasculated himself in the mens room of a bar while his friend watched!

tl;dr: kiss my ass you illiterate bastid...
but seriously, guys locked in a bathroom stall as one cries over a girl. Demasculation over 9000.

I've taken crying bros out to get drunk after a dumping, but toilet stall hugging and whimpering is a bit overboard.

 

[n...not crazy]

This might just be something that happened, and not a demonstration of societal decline.

Eh. You can certainly have some heartache after a breakup but as a guy, best way to get over it is to get something new and fun. People make too much of this shit.

If someone doesn't want to be with you then see it as a positive that you weren't vibing equally and luckily someone was brave enough to break it off and keep it moving.

I've been out with people and have had to step outside to clear myself up a few times, since my break-up.

Probably wouldn't do the stall thing, no.

The more important question is since when is there massive cubicles in men's rooms?

I want this to be the case, and it's the most reasonable conclusion.

Somewhere in my mind I hear Marlo Stanfield saying "You want it to be one way... but it's the other way."

Yeah. Emotional meltdowns sathroom stalls with buddies present had nothing to do my reaction...

They seem to be cropping up a bit.

As are unisex bathrooms, as well.

Eh everyone's emotions are different. Now I think bro hugging in a bathroom stall is weird, nut I've cried over girls ad seen my friends cry over girls, and even comforted them over it. Usually after like a long relationship with some broad we thought we were gonna marry. Everyone's so big on this "dudes shouldn't have feelings" crap. People have them though, and that's alright.


Crying in public is a bit much for me though, I take my crying somewhere private if I feel I have to do it. To each their own though.
