Is physical pain enough to make a grown man cry?

yes, you just didnt experience some real physical pain yet.
but they crying is not because you are a man-baby but more like a physical reflex
 
you thought your friend was being a little bitch because he was sobbing from excruciating pain? Man you're a nice friend! :lol

I used to cry when I was like four and would fall on my hands and get dirt and grit mashed into them. But I think when you're four you do it to call for help.


I broke my wrist skateboarding a couple of weeks ago and I was like, "Fuck."


My eyes water when I get hit square on the nose though, but that's physiological.
 
I don't cry when I have extreme pain, I just barf. That's what happened many times when I had kidney stones :lol

Everyone can cry from physical pain. Most guys have a "will not cry in front of other guys" complex, so for him to be crying, it must have been really fucking bad. Also, most guys will whimper and whine when around their mother or girlfriend because they get to abandon the complex and ask for help and to be taken care of. It's kind of stupid.

Have some sympathy. Fuck.

Everyone could cry from physical pain, but some simply don't have that reaction. When I had a huge kidney stone a while back, at the peak of the pain I was moaning and barfing but never felt the urge to cry. And I'm an emotional person.

Anyway, I was at my friend's house tonight and he just had what was left of his ankle after a car accident pieced together with some metal plates and stuff last Wednesday. So, we're hanging out watching some TV and his pain meds must have ran out and he started crying like somebody died or something until about 10 minutes after taking some more pills. I didn't say anything but, I was thinking he was being a little bitch about it. I've never had surgery so, I don't know what it's like. Is this normal behavior for a 22 year old man in some serious pain?

I cry at the end of Gattaca usually, because the physical pain of watching such beauty is just too much.

Gattaca is perfection.

and I havent been seriously injured in a long time to get me to cry, when I broke my arm when I was younger, I cried only on the operating table when they were trying to replace to bones by pulling my swollen arm and such, I was alright seeing my hand and wrist area above the otehr parts of my arm.

but then again I was stabbed deep in my leg before when I was much much younger and I didnt cry from that.
 
The last time I can remember crying from pain was when I was about... Oh, 14 or 15. A few of my friends and I went to watch the races at the local clay oval track. Now, the surface of the track isn't purely clay. It's a mix of clay and rubber laid down by the cars that drive on it. If you've watched these kinds of races before, you'll know that the cars essentially drift through the corners. Anyway, we sat down near the first corner and watched the cars go 'round and 'round and 'round. And then it hit me, literally. A chunk of rubber and clay -- about the size of a baseball -- was kicked up by a car and hit me right in the eye. I can still remember seeing purple #22 going around the corner, then seeing a dark object flying right towards me. Thankfully, the piece of rubber and clay bounced off the bones around my eye.

After the race was over, my "friends" got me an autographed picture from the purple #22 car. Assholes.
 
Myself, if i'm in serious pain, i either let out grunty noises or punch something. Don't recall crying from physical pain for a long time now. I can understand how longer lasting conditions could be tormenting though.
 
People cry for different reasons. I'm far more likely to cry from emotional pain than physical pain though I admit I've had some tears fall for some serious pain before. But yeah, I don't see a reason to knock anyone for crying. Unless you're my Ex-BF who cried at the drop of a needle, just because he got lost in downtown tampa. :lol Otherwise, I'm pretty sure you're normal. =p
 
I've had my back waxed a few times. Didn't hurt that bad really.


But one time I thought I'd have my wife try it with some store-bought shit. I didn't know she was using the eyebrow shit she uses. She microwaved it. Spread it on (a little thick, I might add). And then it wouldn't come off.












There were tears. I was 25, with a pretty high tolerance for pain.

:lol That eyebrow stuff IS really thick though. Difficult to spread.
 
When I fractured my ankle I was surprised I did not cry. The pain was intense. Even when my cast was on I'd be a stupid dumbass and attempt to walk with the foot that had the cast on only to give me more pain.

Hey I've cried when I got lost in the bad part of town, there's no shame in it!





(I was ten at the time, lol)

It's not even a "bad" part of town though and it was the middle of the day.. Just a lot of one way streets and buildings so it can be confusing.. Nothing to cry over though obviously. :lol
 
Once my eyelids were ripped off and blood was flowing over my eyes, but I just had a beer and wrestled some bears. I refused to produce tears to wash out any of the blood so instead I just spit in my own eyes.

First off, you're an ass.

I think the last time I cried because of physical pain was a year ago after I had back surgery. Pain pills don't work to well for me, and the shit would not stop hurting. I think I cried more because of how frustrating it was not being able to sleep though, rather than the actual pain.
Click to expand...

Wow, what did you do to your back?
I fell 11 feet and landed face up across a horizontal bar. That stopped my middle back, but the rest of me kept falling. My heels almost touched the back of my head. I was pretty sore for a few days, but it hasn't been a long-term problem. (and I didn't cry)

The last time I was in extreme pain I simply passed out from it. No tears or anything.

I've seen a grown ass man (42 years old or so) throw himself on the floor and start sobbing.

Kidney stones.

I would agree. The pain will induce a fetal position quite fast.

Did he lose his foot, or do you just suck at writing?


Cause I'd be balling if I lost my feet(s).

Did you just say you'd be wealthy or playing basketball if you lost your feet, or do you just suck at spelling?
 
Pain that you get after surgery could seriously make you cry. because you're helpless, it's just the same amount of pain all the fucking time, and it's fucking frustrating because you can't do anything about it.
It's.. well, weird.
Besides that, I have a problem really. I laugh when I'm pain for whatever reason.

Well yeah, that's a good point, constant pain is in a league of it's own. Just because there's no real end in sight.

I've lost count on how many times I've managed to bang that nerve cluster, or whatever the hell it is, in the elbow to the point of nearly passing out but I've never cried because of it. Now if I'd have to go around for a month feeling the same thing, yeah I guess I'd manage to squeeze out a tear or two.
 
I don't know about all out crying, but I've got constipation or kidney stones or appendicitis or something right now and I'm seriously about doubled over in pain...If it doesn't get better in a couple hours, I'm going to the goddamn doctor...
 
A little different, but nothing really scares or startles me. I don't jump during the scary movies or anything, but last year I ran over just a squirrel or something that I couldn't help and without thinking I screamed so loud and high pitched (in a way I've never done or been able to replicate since) that the sound still scares me.

The worst pain I had that I remember was an ear infection a couple of years back.
Click to expand...

I got swimmer's ear one year and my eardrum burst. Talk about pain, because that hurt like the worst thing you can possibly imagine. It was just a constant peircing, stabbing pain like someone chipping away at my brain with an ice pick and it came on during the middle of the night so no choice but to lie in bed and have my mom point a hair dryer into my ear canal. I wasn't a grown man by any measure [probably 10-ish] but I cried like I was a new-born baby. If I happened to get it again, which I won't, the result likely wouldn't be that different.

Extreme pain plus the knowledge that there's absolutely nothing you can do about it for hours/days is a fun experience. At all.
 
When there is really, really bad pain my eyes water. But it's definitely nothing like a boo hoo cry...tears just kind of stream down my face.

I got hit by an SUV a month ago while it ran through a stop sign and I flew 20 feet and I couldn't get up from the ground. Actually, I am the one who hit it. I was going downhill on a bike. I got two hairline fractures on my ribs and couldn't walk for 3 days because of bruised muscle on the complete right side of my body. I didn't cry though. I've been in a couple of accidents that hurt a shit ton and I haven't cried. The 3 other times (which were all within the past 2 years), I slipped on some sand on my scooter and smashed my head on a curb where I had a concussion and had to get 14 stiches down my face, I got sideswipped by a truck while on my scooter and I skidded across the street for another 20 feet while the scooter trapped me leg and dragged with me (didn't break anything but my entire right leg turned purple), and two weeks after that the day I got my scooter out of the shop, I was going full speed (50 miles per hour) and a woman in a car pulls in front of me on a busy street to get into a McDonalds and I flew over her car. She went into the McDonalds and got some food instead of seeing if I was ok. I landed on my elbow but I didn't break anything. I guess I am a pretty tough dude. Yeah, still didn't cry though. I do get teary eyed from sad movies.

This makes me want to sell my scooter ASAP.
 
The last time I was in any major physical pain was when I spent about 10 or so minutes getting my ass kicked by some drunk guy. I didn't cry at all from the pain, but I did get pretty weepy eyed when one of my friends found me and got the the asshole off of me. The fact that somebody did that for me really touched me and that's what made me weepy.
 
Emotional pain is worse, not so much crying over "spilt milk" but it's better to just do it instead of letting it build up over time.

Physical pain, not so much. I just usually wince or scream and pull whatever out(don't go there guys). I can't remember the last time I cried from physical pain.

My tail bone got bruised and it was hard for me to get up after sitting down or lie down, and at times I just felt so "sad" about it. I never cried though.

And it's just pain tolerance. Older Girls don't cry easily over physical pain either.

I barely remember the last time I cried from physical pain. I think it was from a virus(or something) I had, that made my ribcage expand, back in high school. Not fun. I haven't been hurt physically, as of recent. Edit(well...to the point of being in tears)Thank god.

I cried when I had mono. The pain was horrible, but it was more just being so frustrated with being unable to do anything for the better part of 2 months.
Click to expand...

I don't remember crying when I had mono.. I spent most of the time sleeping. However, I remember feeling very very frustrated. I had to give up a few classes at school, and lie in bed for 3 weeks, and then do pretty much nothing for a couple more. Not painful though... just really really feverish.

Actually I DO remember crying from a physical ailment once. I had a concussion snowboarding, and for most of a month afterwards I had a splitting headache, could not focus (reading comprehension went down BAD) and I could not sleep. I felt very trapped in my pain/uselessness, and I remember crying a couple times (alone :P.. can't cry in front of ppl :P)

Is this the dumbest post ever? Maybe.

All you really said was "Hey guys, I've never been in serious pain. But my friend, who shattered his ankle, was crying. I think he's a little bitch."

Go through some pain yourself, before you call somebody else a little bitch :|

Jesus, how old are you?
 
After I turned like.. 10 I no longer cried because of physical pain. When I broke my leg I was just like "OH GOD OH GOD OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG HALP" but no tears :lol
 
The last time I cried from pain was when I was 14 years old. Broke my arm and the bone went through the skin. Though it could've been shock too, I guess. At any rate, by the time I made it to the nurse's office (we had a great PE staff- make the kid with the broken arm get up and walk, good job), I was done.
