HP, I was just following your earlier statement. I don't think W ever expects me to cry, but she knows that I am not afraid to do so at times. I cried when my dad had his 4th heart attack and nearly died, I cried when W first told me she no longer loved me and wanted out of M (yeah NOP, I know, don't grovel). These are strong triggering moments.
I think many men pretend to like sports to avoid being scoffed at. I have been scoffed at for my dislike of organized sports, but I am always willing to be active, kayak, ski, hike, etc. I don't hunt since I don't eat meat (see above re heart attacks) But I will eagerly shoot the varmits eating my garden ( I call it feeding the vultures). I prefer constructive activities over violent displays of capitalism any day. Despite my many beliefs that run counter to the stereotypical manly man, I am certain that I am a good man. I obviously need to keep practicing the "steel" part.
