How to hide your tears when watching movies?

I totally agree that women are very emotional. They cry a lot and they tend to connect with movies a lot. Just like me - I usually cry but it depends on my feelings the time I am watching a movie. As far as I can remember, the only movie I cried that I didn't have any emotional burden was "Passion of the Christ." I was with my boyfriend that time and a few friends. I didn't bother if they will see me cry. What mattered most that time was I could let my emotions out -how sinful I was. I'm a very outspoken person so I don't really care if people who doesn't know me see me cry.:)

Is benjamin Button nice? Weve been airing that movie here at work at the lounge, but i didnt watch it. Anyways, i always cry when there are movies that i can relate or if it reminds me on something...things that happened in the past that hurt me. I cant remember how many movies i cried on..but i dont hide it when i cry..and youre right, because we ladies can cry on the movie without hiding it..so we have our excuse. lols

yes i've cried during quite a few movies. i used to worry that people will laugh at me if i cry during a movie. then i think 'what the heck'! the story touched me and crying is a good way to show my appreciation. when i tried to hide my tears back then, i usually rub my face. i'll try very hard not to cry first. if that fails i'll rub my face so that my tears are all over and thus not so obvious. the blinking doesn't work for me because that'll cause the tears to roll down.

Speaking from a woman's point of view, don't hide it. Don't cry at the AT&T commercial where the guy sends the girl pictures while he's away and the last picture he sends here is of her sitting on a bench....But movies, go ahead and cry. No girlfriend who is worth her salt is going to hold it against you, or (hopefully) give you a hard time about it. If the movie is sad, allow yourself to be sad. If it's extremely happy and makes you want to cry, it's okay (my roughneck, Grizzly Adams, man's man dad cried at the end of Armageddon when the one guy got off the shuttle and his little boy was there to greet him....actually he started crying at the "take care of my little girl" speech and didn't stop until the end of the movie So did the 6'7, 400 pound man sitting in front of us). To answer your question, I just kind of swallow it. If that doesn't work, I rub my nose so it looks like the tears are a result of allergies or something

I start crying whenever I watch a sad movie. I am very sensitive and will feel very embarassed if others watch me crying. I try to wipe my tears without others notice. I don't want to be a silly girl and cry for movies, which we already know that it is only story and not real, but I can't control myself from doing that. If it is very sad seen, sometimes I won't watch that part or change the channel for sometime. When I was watching titanic with my family, I was crying and I didn't look at the movie screen for sometime. I can't take sad things easily. I also hate murder scenes. I won't look at the screen if I think that a murder is going to take place.

I have been asking this question to my friends many times already and unfortunately all their answers did not help me overcome it. I agree with you that crying or just letting a droplet of tear while watching a movie with your girfriend or even with your friends is quite embarassing for a man hehehe. However, don't despair for there are hundreds of men out there who are also trying to overcome this problem but to no avail. Anyway, there's still one way to hide it, if you feel your tear is about to fall pretend that you are yawning or sneezing then get your hanky to wipe that stubborn tear of yours.

I am also a man who cries at some films, in fact a lot of films find me with tears running down my cheeks. But there was one movie that was totally embarrassing, "The Butterfly" from Spain. A seven year old boy befriended his teacher, but when the fascists came into power in their civil war at the end of the movie, the teacher was herded with other liberals in a truck most likely to be executed outside the town, and the boy was forced shout obscenities at him. One of the words he used was the scientific name for the butterfly's tongue that he learned from the teacher, the actual name of the movie. I totally lost it. It was not only tears, it was actually sobbing. I heard comments behind me, and I couldn't contain myself for even after an hour when I boarded public transportation to go home. (though I was a little better - I stopped sobbing but people were still looking at me funny) No other movie did something like that to me. http://www.mooviees.com/10576-butterfly-s-tongue/movie As to how to hide you are crying, pity we live in a society one feels that necessary. Just wait until you watch that makes you open your soul.

I cry easily. My girls make fun of me when I cry at movies...i admit it..i do. I don't even try to cover it anymore. I used to try to by pretending I had an itch. don't try it ...it doesn't work.

I never hide my tears when watching movie because I don't think it is necessary to do so even though I am a man.If we are feeling sad or anything else we should express it and not to keep it. If we are feeling the movie just express it and else if we don't then we will somehow be affected as well.

Yes, i lost count of the number of times that i have cried while watching films that touched my heart and i never tried to hide it. My husband knows exactly what scenes make me cry and he is always 100% sure when my tears will fall and by then he'll be ready with a hanky or a facial tissue and always try to lighten the moment in his own funny way!

Oh I cry a lot when watching sad films... I cried when I saw the animated film The Iron Giant! heheh... When I'm at the movies by myself and I can't help but shed some tears, what I do is I slowly slide down my seat a bit and wipe the tears away with Kleenex. That's my secret. Pack a full bag of kleenex no matter what film you're out to watch (even if it's a comedy) because you'll never know what tear jerkers are injected in them. Oh, and when I'm with company, like my husband, then I just let it out. I'll enjoy any film in any way I see fit. Whoever I'm with just has to live with my tears! hahah

God gives you tears,why not hide them.There is an old saying in China put it like this:A man will not cry easily until he is really in sorrow.And in most time,a man will cry for love.I don't think I am a emotional person.But I will follow my real feelings.

Oh,i will not shed tears when watching movies!but,the film will be moved!i love the movie is:"The Shawshank Redemption".Heroine's longing for freedom,people's hearts out.Even if i say there is no way the men don't moved!..

sophisticated_boy, i don't really think there's anything wrong with a guy shedding a tear or two during a movie as long as you don't bawl right there in the movie house. but if you really must hide it, if your girlfriend is wearing a jacket, try to make it seem like you're taking a whiff of the smell of her hair and bury your head on her jacket and wipe your tears there. or yawn continuously until your eyes really tear up, and make it seem like you don't have a choice but to wipe your teary eyes. or don't blink. usually the tears just dry up on their own. hope i helped you even a little. haha! enjoy the movies!

I don't hide them. I have no reason to hide them. If anyone was embarrassed that I was crying, that would be their own issue. I like it when people are not afraid to show tears.

LOL yeah i usually do on sad scenes which are upsetting lol. Though sometimes i laugh and cry at the same time when something is sad but yet so funny lol!! Lol me being a girl i still find it embarrassing though. I dont make it obvious but dont try and hide that much. Lol i think i have cried on loads of films not only two lol . I just cover my face with my arm or quickly wipe eyes before they fall.

You are hilarious! I am always impressed when men get a bit misty at watching a movie.

I usually cry when watching sad movies, that's a given... People who are close to me like my parents, my sister and my boyfriend often see me crying while watching and they laugh at me...But i do not care, I do not need to hide it from them...However when watching movies with other people and i feel like crying, i go to the CR to hide it and wipe my tears.haha

My heart really touched when watching heart felting movies, but I never cry because of that. But if I cry it doesn't matter, we're only a human who have feelings.

i cry all the time. i just can't help it. if the movie has something that moves me that bad then i cry. i am very sentimental. and no i dont think you should have to hide your tears. even though you are a man that looks very god to me that you cry. shows you aren't such a hard man. sometimes women need that in a man that softness. i know to you, you might think hell naw but yes we women need it. maria
