yEs, I believe it is okay for men to cry. I like men who are not ashame to cry. For me it shows not weakness but strength, that they can be true to their feelings.

Absolutely. Men cry when their mothers passaway. But beware of men who cry over everything!

I don't think it would make a man less when he cries. It only shows that he has a heart for things that are valuable to him. Actually, I would appreciate men who cry, rather than those who think that drinking is a way for them to vent their emotions. But let me make myself clear... it's crying not whining! LOL

Crying has always been a problem for me. First,I regard it as very unmanly, an admission of a loss of control. Secondly, I do it. A lot.Growing up was a nightmare. I remember my horror when on a school trip to a stately home our guide blithely announced, “We are now entering the dog cemetery” and then went on to read out headstones such as “In memory of Bounce the best friend a boy ever had”. I chose this moment to be overcome by hayfever, a condition I have never suffered from before or since.It’s OK for a man to cry in some situations but I don’t cry in those pain. after when I remember back cried many times.

It is OK for men to cry, it is a sign that they are real men! Crying is one way of showing one's emotion, men or women and it is very important that we express how we really feel, it is for our emotional health. It is always acceptable for a man to cry, lie for example, If a man would cry because he has failed to get the attention or the love of the woman, I think it's just OK to cry.

yes, it`s always OK to cry maybe not all the time, and not everywhere, but when you really feel like it, go fo it plus, girls did men that can get in touch with their feelings (of course, you really shouldnt` cry all the time, cuz we do like strong men though) BUt a strong man that crys is smth that no one can resist ;)

for me it's okay for men to cry if they have to.. but not excessive specially in public. It doesn't reflect weakness at all instead proves that they are not numb and they are just being true to their feelings. I think it's acceptable --

Of course it's acceptable for men to cry! If I was with a guy who never cried, I would think he was weird! And they can cry in any situation it's okay for women to cry; sad movies, loss of a loved one, loss of a pet, wedding day, first child's birth. All acceptable times for men to cry! Now, yes, a man can cry TOO much...but I don't really think that happens to often in the world! lol

Of course, it is okay. You are a human being and was given tear glands so that you can cry. This is an outlet for you to remove sadness from your system. You can cry for any reason be it happy or sad. Just be careful of people who cry for no reason for fear that they might be insane.

Men are just as humans too and they cry as well. Crying is good after all. It's just human to do so and releases some of the tension that would otherwise build up within. But perhaps they cry for different reasons and where to cry.

Moden society exert many more pressure to the man, if we happy,we can express by many way. Once you get a bit of setback and unhappy,then you can smoking and drinking! But they are all unhealthy to your body. Cry is anther way to release your heavy heart. You can cry facing to you wife,family and frends.If you dont't want to be knew by anthers, you can cry in the ecluded area.In a word,it's not crime for men to cry!

Tears are a perhaps conditioned response to a traumatic hurt, so it is okay for a male human to cry. Stoicism is the best though.

Men try to hold in traumatic hurt, and this is one of the reasons why men are tough. If a men was in emotional pain or stoicism, then the man usually cries. A man is manly if the man takes pain, but he is a coward if he forces emotional pain!

Crying is the human response to pain, whether emotional or physical, it's ok to every person to cry when they're hurt.

Yes, it's perfectly acceptable for a man to cry in this day and age. Gosh, everyone wants a sensitive man who has feelings that he's not afraid to open up about. I'd rather have a man who can cry than one who hides things from me and doesn't show that he's really hurting or upset about something.

Human individuals have emotions. Therefore it depends on men or women to release their emotions out by crying.

I think yes it is ok for men to cry but to a point. My man cries at movies all the time and it drives me crazy! Disney movies, you name it, he cries. I think I wouldn't mind so much if he would cry at real life things but he shuts down emotionally when it really means something.

of course it is okay for a man to cry. It is one way of releasing your feelings. It's not weakness but rather an expression of what you feel inside. Everyone has a right to express themselves. Female or male, It doesn't matter. It's just normal. We're all humans sometimes we have the need to release our emotions.
