Peanuts by Charles Schulz for April 20, 2017

We do, Charlie Brown. We just don’t usually do it when we think anyone else is looking. But that’s changing.

Men do, Charlie Brown. (or men without fear)

Forget about her. There are plenty of fish in the sea. There’s this girl with glasses who hangs out with Peppermint Patty, and I have it on good authority that she’s crazy about you. I think she even told Patty that she would marry you!

Mature men cry. Those who never escaped the adolescent “what will people think” mindset are afraid to.

Let me cry with you…to give you a hand!!

My late dad sometimes cried.

Real men do, CB, they do…

There are plenty of fish in the sea, but who wants a fish?

She’ll be back.

We do Charlie Brown, we do.

We do.

We do, Charlie Brown, because sometimes life hits you with something so bad that there’s nothing else for it. I remember my maternal grandmother’s funeral; all four of her sons, my uncles, cried a lot, which I had never seen them do so before. When my mother passes away, I daresay that I will cry like a baby.

When men don’t cry, they write songs or paint amazing art. It comes out somewhere.

I try to laugh about it

Cover it all up with lies

I try and laugh about it

Hiding the tears in my eyes

Because boys don’t cry

And then there is wasabi.

Men cry Charlie Brown, sometimes more than women.

Eh, the people who say “It’s OK for men to cry” are probably the same people who say to their kids “Do what you want to with your life.”

And then when either actually HAPPENS, they’re all “No, wait, stop, I didn’t mean it! This shouldn’t be happening!”

I love men who aren’t afraid to show their emotions.

No boy should ever be taught not to cry, that it isn’t masculine, that he’s a sissy or whatever. We all have emotions and the male who is taught not to cry will get his emotions out in some other way, usually by anger. Is that a better choice?

Charlie Brown go head and cry ur such a sweet kid

I’m not afraid to cry.
