What's your stand on the issue of seeing MAN crying?

well, its really awkward seeing a man crying in public, but it should not be a demerit to them. I think all men do cry, but mostly dont do it in public. We cannot blame them if they really can no longer withstand their bursting emotions. A crying man shouldn't be a big deal and be a root cause of an issue.

hello daddy mob! for me i find a man who cried stronger and more brave to show what he really feels inside...i think crying will not make a man lesser but i find it more manly. hehe actually, i have seen the men that i love crying in front of me...and in those situations, i feel their sincerity and it also melts my heart seeing them cry. and somehow, it makes me feel special & trusted that these guys were able to show me even their weaknesses... and i feel more loved... like when i saw my father crying when i get married, and seeing my husband shedding a tear when we exchanged vows...hehe

I would say that a man also can cry. I mean, he has mind, emotions.. He also feels things... He can be happy or can be sad... He may get frustrated... It is misunderstood by many that a man shouldn't cry. Many believe that it lessens the manliness or harms the reputation of a man. Crying is kind of 'letting it away'... Ask most of them- men or women- how it feels after crying. I am sure all of us feel better, after crying. It is kind of a kind privilage given to us by nature to soothe the aching heart... I am a 27 years old man and I do cry at times, when things get beyond my limit, or when I get depressed. I wouldn't say that crying solves all my problems, that is impossible; but yes, it clears my mind, helps me think clearly and to find a way out of it... I prefer to cry alone, though. I would not like to cry in public... In fact, I don't laugh much in public too... I don't display my emotions (whatever emotions) publicly...

I actually think that it is a very positive thing when there is a man that is comfortable enough to cry in front of other people. This year has been very difficult for our family because my husband has been dealing with medical issues. There have been several times that he has cried because of feeling like he is an inadquate father and husband. However, today he almost cried because there is finally a doctor that is helping him get to the bottom of his pain issues and he was tearing up out of joy that there is actually finally someone that cares enough about him to help him.

Hi Mob, I admire men who are honest in showing their true feelings like if they want to cry they cry...they are human beings. they have feelings too. so there's nothing wrong if they cry. it made them more of a human...of a man!

Hi friend, I've seen a lot of these..Man crying?Honestly when man cries I feel his sincere emotions,I don't think its a demerit to a man shedding a tear especially for the one he love I find man bravery when he cries,not having fear to show his weakness, I just love seeing man cries when they beg and shed a tear for showing his real feeling....And make themselves believe and of course it should be real otherwise its foul like acting or something ,lol. Happy myLotting friend..Good day

Whilst I would say that a man crying his eyes out in public is not a very appropriate thing to see, that it is not wrong for a man to cry at all. Many men cannot cry, even if they feel extreme unhappiness and really want to do it to release the built up tensions. I was like this for many years myself and it does not do the health any good at all. When I trained to be a therapist, I discovered from the seminars I attended that is was harmful to block back the tears and as I grew to understand this more and more, was able to cry and release those pent-up tensions that had accumulated throughout my younger life. Like everything else, at the appropriate time, it is OK to cry, but where it is not appropriate then I think it may be just attention seeking.. _Derek

Hi mobhomeir, There is a general perception about man, they won’t cry and women always cry even without a reason. But I think both have their own reasons and can express their emotions. There is nothing to wrong if a man cry and we can’t say that the man is strong if he doesn't cry. In fact a cry can clear his mind from the sorrows. What about you, do you cry easily?

I think that men crying is not a big deal at all, we all have emotions and men should not be forced to think that crying is a sign of weakness, it isn't. Men crying is no different to me then women crying.

No i won't think it is disgusting to see a man cry.To make him cry would mean that something must really have hurt him so much. For me crying is not an expression of being weak.It could express deep frustration. Or an outburst of being heart-broken.It is weakness not to accept that one is in pain. For when you can express deep emotions, stress is released from your system, and this is healthy attitude. (^_^)

humans are capable of crying whether your a man or a woman. We all have emotions which means that crying for us is normal. It doesn't suggest a man that do cry are weak. He is just being human. So crying for men are just ok.

Hello mobhomeir... Ive seen a men crying in public, maybe twice or thrice already. As for my own opinion, i think it didn't lessen their masculinity. It's just okay for a man to cry to release his emotions and tensions. After all, all men are also human and therefore should be permitted to cry without hesitation of his masculinity.

well for me, i think man is still a man even though he cry in his friend or anyone close to him, i do cry but not in public sometimes i cry in my room but for me it ok if a man cry, it will not affect him after all, sometimes crying is good because it lessen the burden we have

They are humans too? Like girls they have emotions too. I appreciate those man who cry because if they just keep it to their selves they might suffer in a heart diseases. All babies cry right? Girl or boy. That is why its ok for them to cry not just because their man they also have the freedom to do so.

I've been demeritted! Lately (well, the past two decades or so) a lot of movies end with my eyes a little watery. But there was one movie, The Butterfly where I totally lost it. I was sobbing in the theater at the rolling of the credits, and I heard people whispering about it behind me. I tried to get control of myself, but on the bus ride home, people were still looking at me funny. Yes, we are in a society that has decreed that anyone with some extra skin between his legs shouldn't cry in public. That could be why some men resort to violence, with many thinking that such behavior deserves to be criticized. Actually anyone crying in public, wouldn't the proper behavior will be to sympathize with that one's plight? What kind of animal would express out loud one's disgust to such a display? That's what this country needs. A cry-in.

I don't find it awkward to see a man cry...we are all human it's just society pressures have meant that men withold crying according to the norm and hence why other people would find it awkward.

Its sexist if they say that man cant be seen crying in public because women and men can be extremley sad or frustrated in times.Men should not be called weak if they are crying in front of other people.After all we are all humans with feelings and things that cant be controlled.

It wouldn't be demerit to man if he cries! I would proudly call him a real man if he cries, because he's being true to his feelings, no faking! everybody has the right to cry as much as to laugh. Girls do cry not because they're weak, but because they express emotions. After crying, most of the times they feel better and can make good dispositions in life. Men, don't cry because they're men..but after few years they mostly have heart attacks of keeping emotions in them..isn't it stupid that Just for the sake of honor being a man, you hold yourself from crying? Crying won't break your muscles down! Express yourself!

Well nice discussion, but for me i am happy to see a man cry because i can feel this sincerity and the feeling is really good when they cry for a reason. It does not matter weather a man or woman cry, what matters most is that how he/she express the emotion inside. I did not see man's crying in public, but I've seen my friend crying beside me and i can feel also the pain really. I know it is awkward for us to see man's cry but in reality all of us have to right to express our feelings inside.

As a guy me I've cried but it is natural to see man's crying.. most "EMO" cried a lot because their such a ****ing emotional :) haha lol! for my genre (RAP METAL) we used not to cried. we are not emotional to cried and yet i think my band mates are crying to when there was a problem in their family or personal problems.!!
