Seriously, I think if they can make a "Tickle Me Elmo" then they could make a stuffed animal that says "There, there". I am also sure that they could make a "Talking Tina" doll that men could use for a variety of reasons.....she could have such expressions as "Pull over and ask for directions dumb ****!", "Yes, baby you are very well endowed", "Make your own chicken soup you whiney baby--you have a cold you won't die", "Of course you are always right big daddy" and my personal favourite, "No, it is not that time of the month--YOU JUST PISS ME OFF WITH YOUR INFERIOR INTELLECT!!!" etc.

What a fantastic idea!! I think we are on to something!

EDIT: What's this? You like me "now"? So this would mean you did not like before. Whatever could I have done to have not won your favour previously?? LOL

EDIT#2: I am not tearful and upset so no, I do not need a hug!! But yes dear, you are well endowed! HAHA

Depends on the woman. Is she some random chick you don't know? Is she your sister, mom, or other female relative? You in love with her or something? All these make a difference. It also depends on why she's upset. If she's manipulating you, then don't do anything but roll your eyes and walk away. If, however, she's genuinely upset....give her a hug. You'll be scoring big time brownie points for that. lol

I could write out the formula for this if you want. There are a lot of variables and you have to make sure to always carry the 1, otherwise it screws the whole thing up.

I like to be cuddled when I am upset, irrational and crying. I'm also intelligent enough to know when my behaviour is irrational, so your cuddles wouldn't validate it. Just comfort me, because us women are a feckin emotional lot - so even when we know we're being all stupid, our feelings still tend to take over.

That stuffed animal sounds frightening.

It really depends on the situation and on the couple. I for one am able to regain my composure much faster if left to my own devices. A show of understanding and empathy is great and all, but it tends to make it harder for me to calm down. I much prefer the cuddling for after I have have calmed myself, I appreciate it more then.

Wouldn't that all depend on the reason she's upset? If she's upset because you cheated, it's not a good idea to cuddle her. If she's upset because of a death in the family, cuddling is definitely called for, if she wants it.

"Validating their behavior"...like there isn't anything in the world that would cause a woman to cry?

First of all, if it's a sad cry...yea, you should cuddle her.

If she's upset and crying over something you did...best stay clear, at least for a little while.

If I am upset enough to cry, say someone close to me died or was seriously injured I would certainly welcome comfort. I would feel like a man who would not offer this type of comfort was harsh and cold.

If I am upset with him because he did something to make me angy I am not going to cry anyway.

It's your job as a man to be there no matter what until she gets bored and then you should make yourself scarce. I guess you just don't get that because you have not yet evolved like me.

Okay, when you cuddle your lady while she's crying, do you also say "it's okay, you're just being irrational"?

Because, i mean...that MAY be why she's yelling.

Any way, most couples figure out ways to comfort their partners. I like to be held. some women don't. meh.

upset = maybe

irrational = no

crying = yes

It all depends on the circumstances
