because we don't have the "emotional range of a teaspoon" (gotta love Hermione;)

Autosmiler: why do you think girls like to be sad? that's the saddest thing i've heard
Autosmiler: that makes me sad
melilotnfosco: :)
Autosmiler: i like happiness -- girls love to be happy; that's why romantic comedies are so fun
melilotnfosco: all the old movies? girls like to cry at them.
Autosmiler: tears of joy
melilotnfosco: we hear a touching song, we get teary cuz we love it
Autosmiler: tears of joy = not sad

i disagree. people in general seek to be happy. if you find yourself constantly sad, change something.

maybe sdbgf meant, "why do girls like to cry?"

sometimes a good cry makes everything better. boys punch things or drive fast, girls cry. that's how it works.

maybe because it's really, really annoying when you're being sad and someone says "cheer up" - i don't want to cheer up. i want you to leave me alone and let me have my feelings.

yes, i agree with that, hobbitsister -- sometimes you're just overwhelmed with emotion and don't need someone to tell you you're overreacting or wrong or whatever

and boys like things that I think are sad and don't want to watch -- like violence, wars, etc. -- those things are sad to me and I can't stand to watch so much of them. Don't boys get sad about that? maybe not... maybe we're just more affected emotionally by things (happy or sad) -- or let ourselves be emotionally affected; we could just as easily ask, "why don't boys ever want to be sad?" or "why aren't boys sad more often?"

sorry, i know i'm rambling & probably not making much sense -- i think this is one of those topics that just doesn't have a clear answer (as mel said in the original post;)

i agree with all you people are saying. it's still just not what i had in mind.
