Who says Boys don't cry?

This is often said that boys are very strong and do not cry in the same situation when a girl will cry. This is not true, I have seen boys crying when they watch an emotional scene in a move or TV show. I am also in the category of boys who cry. Are you a boy who cry in the situation where girls cry very easily?

I think that it is okay for boys to cry. There is nothing wrong with it. It's really up to us how we understand about them. Am a girl and it doesn't make them less than a man because they cried. I think there man enough to admit they have feelings and get happy and sad and cry about it.

I'm a girl but i don't find anything wrong with this!Everybody can cries whenever they are too happy or when they are sad and in pain,i believe there's no such a thing that if you are a boy,you shouldn't cry no matter what the problem is!It's just the boys is stronger than the girls and they don't cry in every problem like the girls do,not that they never cry!

Crying is part of your emotions and should not be restricted by self. We should cry whenever we feel like, doing that I feel relaxed and the pain inside comes out in the form of tears.

all can cry if we saw the movies that makes people touched the story which they see. If I see a drama that sets in my chest, I will generally sad and had tears in my eyes. even though arrested by the sense not to cry still can not.

I am not afraid saying that I am emotional and that is true even if I am watching a movie scene or drama.

but it seems so strange watching boys crying while watching sad movie! They may cry if their parents pass away but not when they're watching movies. . I think I can't take it if my man does that.

Crying is all about emotions whether its about loosing someone in reality or in a movie. When someone cry watching a movie, he is too much involved in the scene and cannot differentiate in reality. So that is obvious, nothing wrong in that. I do not feel good looking someone aryin whether its men or women.

I think it is mis conception that boys doesn't cry. Of course, boys do cry. My brother vcry most often.. Some merely shed a few tears every decade or so, but others seem to bawl like babies. They cry when their hearts are broken. Even my father has cried many a times I saw. Men who cry are also perceived as more manly than those who don't. Usually, when a man is feeling emotional, the only way he shows it is by being angry. I think it's healthy when a man can express his true emotions. I'd rather see a man cry than act out in anger. I would rather have a man who cries than one who shows his sadness and pain through violence.

I have experienced to cry and I already made a girl cry. I cried when my young age and body proved to weak. Now that im grown up the only problem is I can't cry when I have to :P The girl I made to cry recovered and is very happy and I am so glad that she recovered :-)

Hi Ajay, My answer, You said that in your question :) --- when i read your discussion, I remember with Lyric and film entitled "Boys don't Cry". In my opinion, a number of men suffer health mental problems, but they look "macho" if men ware faced in certain sad or touched situation they can cry like women. However, crying man is different than women, man is able to resist tears.

Yes, many times we feel like crying but resist just to ensure that others are not crying. I think a man tries a lot to avoid crying.

hello it has nothing to do with gender or age, all depends upon situation and emotions, but as one grows older, he/she is more experienced, less sensitive, will cry less, thanks for this post Happy posting Cheers Professor here
