There's always a belief about this? Never heard of such belief. I believe that the women who always laugh is cheerful and men who always cry are sensitive. That's my say on this.

Those theories are disturbing. They imply that women should always cry and that men should always laugh. Sounds like the recipe for a very cruel world.
I consider myself trustworthy, and I laugh all the time. I believe that men who have the inner strength to be able to cry are the strongest of all men.
We are all human, and we should all be free to do both. Hopefully more laughter, and fewer tears though.

Behaviour is such an interesting subject and I often wondered if any of us has sat down to think about why we behave the way we do. What is wrong with laughing? I laugh out loud when something funny tickles me but that doesn't make me an unworthy or untrusted person? Some women are happy go lucky and they can laugh freely even with a light hearted joke when they are in good mood. I don't see that they are a different breed of women when they laugh. But I believe when women are stressed they laugh a lot and loud.
Why shouldn't men cry? It isn't that baby boys don't cry. Early conditioning has created the erroneous idea that men mustn't cry. Tears, they say are a sign of weakness in men. That's a lot of poppycock. I'd say, cry when you need to, only don't make it too much of a habit. It would then lose its value. It's not effeminate. It's human. And you feel so much better, so much lighter within yourself after a cry. A man who can cry is a person with feelings, with sensitivity. He is a human being, not a conditioned hardened cold digit. Crying does not detract from a man's masculinity.

No so is it not really because each man or women in the world in different. Maybe this the average but pratically it depends on the charakter of a men or women and maybe the day. Also the reason and what happened before is very importent and to consider for this.

Some men and women also laugh when they are drunk. Krupesh, we are going to make you work hard at your English here, so that we do not misjudge what you are trying to say. Some women will laugh to change the subject in a discussion and so will some men. Lots of ways for people to deceive you if they want to.

The thing what I meant was there are some women who will be always laughing even though there is no need to laugh.I should have specified this when I started but did not.
Majority of the men are not that psychologically weak that they cry but ofcourse all cry if they lose something of their own.But some men cry for silly matters after drinking.
This is all I wanted to say but did not mentin them when I started.I am a bit weak in english & thus spare me.

Are you kidding me because a women who laughs can't be trusted. That is so not true at all. I love to laugh and I can be trusted completely. I have many female friends who love to laugh and have a good time and they can also be trusted. As for a man who cries; I personally love a man who is able to cry because he is not afraid to show his softer side. When a man can cry in front of me he has my heart. For me when a man can't cry or thinks its not a manly thing to do, that when I don't trust them. I can't seem to connect to a man who is cold and heartless that he can't ever cry.

This sounds like very outdated beliefs, if they are indeed true. We know that people with good mental health can express their emotions, both happy and sad. People will laugh from joy, nervousness, anxiety, and sometimes they will laugh to keep from crying.They laugh to respond to a joke. Do you hear me laughing at your discussion right now? Laughter has nothing to do with their trust worthiness. This would be like saying that "All men who laugh are drunk." also not true. Men who cry are tender, and sympathetic. We need men who are able to do this. They are actually strong in their own ways.

I always cry and I can be trusted but I don't agree with the saying. The women who always laugh would surely scare me!

Thoses saying r rubbash. Im fully trustable . I laugh alot because i love to be happy and im loving life. Males who cry are better companions because they are showing emotion. Better than having someone around that shows no emotion at all. UYou can never tell whats on thier mind.

I beleive that there always have to have a reason for men to cry it's not because they do have feeling just like a felmale but they are alot stronger than what we are they do laugh the same as we do and cry because they get hurt in different ways then we do,

In the western world it has become accpetble for men to cry. In my grandfater and faters day, men where sposed to hid there emothions and not seen to be crying. as for woman I have never heard of that expression about how her laughter is not to be trusted. so I can't coment on that too much.

No we don't have that belief in our place and if we have that in I would disagree with it. Personally I'd rather cry than to let myself explode and die of heart attack in the end.
The concept of men was taken from the medieval age where machismo is superior while the concept of women, I'm not really sure if it's modern or medieval idea too. Your belief showed that every woman that expressed herself freely can be sinister in the end. I respect your beliefs but for me it really isn't good and in actuality it doesn't really help a person grow

All women laugh, so it confirms they can't be trusted, haha^^ Nono, I guess it was an old belief, and just got set up by a random "professor" or so, Lol. Any guy can become emotional, some just try to be tough, perhaps.. we can't be depended on either. Actually depending on as trusting is quite the same. We all are not trustworthy?

hi krupesh,
First of all if you dont mind can i know whether you belive this saying or not.It is a saying related to Indian culture or customs. So if you ask such questions to people who think forward the responses will be like this only. As the saying is written and may be believed in old days, so no one including me will not agree this. If there is any proper explanation for this saying you may clarify it here. If there is no explanation than no one can agree as emotions come spontaneously and controlling it is not good for health. If a man feels very sad he too have full rights to cry but it doesnt mean he is not to be trust. Humans have to show their emotion or else there are not humans.We can not judge them depending on their emotions.I think the saying is just for fun not a serious one and can not be taken.

Well, that is a new theory on me. I've never ever heard of such a thing. Then again, I don't know any women who laugh all the time. I don't actually know anyone who laughs always. I do know a man who laughs what seems to be over just about everything. He is a drunk but I think he is honest enough. As for men who cry well, I think that they are human and not afraid to show their emotions. I find that men who don't cry have been raised under the old school belief that crying is unmanly and they tend to block their emotions and have a lot of emotional issues. I don't know where you heard all this but I'd disregard it if I were you.

I think that for a person to actually be genuine, they have to be able to show the entire range of emotions. For that reason, I think that it is important that a woman be able to both laugh and cry (as we typically do as women), but it is also equally important that a man feel like he isn't going to be looked down on in society if he is able to show his emotions. I'm very lucky that my husband is one of those men that is able to show all of his emotions comfortably.
