O'talkin' with Dave
Big Boys DON'T CRY!!!
Have you ever heard the expression that "big boys don't cry" and "there's no crying in baseball" or any other negative connotation about showing genuine emotion? Yeah, me too...
That phrase didn’t come from nowhere. It was forged in fields, factories, foxholes, and family tables where men were expected to carry weight quietly.
Join Dave for some TEARFUL conversation around:
- The Evolution of Manly Emotion
- Five Events Truly Worthy of a Man’s Tears
- Why Tears Matter
- Tears as a Compliment
- Five Steps for Manly Men to Share Emotion Without Giving Up Manhood
- Five Observations About a Man’s Tears
- The Joy in a Man’s Tears
So maybe “big boys don’t cry” was never about strength. It was about silence.
But today, strength looks like this:
- feeling without fear
- sharing without collapsing
- standing tall while being honest
A good man doesn’t cry because he’s weak. He cries because he’s real.
And real men don’t lose their power when they feel. They finally use it well.
Giddyup!!!
