Why do Men hold their tears?

I can cry and I'm not ashamed of it, just a very emotional person.

Men who don't cry doesn't have feelings.

Yes it's true! They're holding it back in front of people and cry whenever they're alone coz others might think that they're not man enough to face any problems in life. They're TOO AFRAID to be called a 'homosexual'. No offense, but this is TRUE! For me, crying doesn't lessen anything even for men. It even helps to open up and accept the fact that they're also humans too who gets hurt and gets broken. Men DO cry, and whatever they say, we all DO know that! ^_^

I, personally, know many men that cry. I do believe that the biggest reason men don't cry, is because they think it will make them look less manly. However, a real "man" wouldn't be worried about his masculinity, and would show his feelings however they need be shown.

I saw men crying like my husband, my youngest son and my Dad, they do cry and they don't ashamed to cry. My husband told me, if he won't cry, he feels his heart will burst due to pain. I know, he's too emotional.

I think they are afraid to show it because men should not cry. But my boyfriend cried when I almost out of life. Other men don't cry and they find it very hard because as a man they should be strong. Unlike us women, we are soft and naive at times.

hi toniganzon maybe because they do not like to see there self that is crying, i do much more like seeing a man who is crying because man who cried is a real man.

boys cry too but they are holding it in because they feel that it will ruin their manly ego. and honestly, i go for guys who cries over a girl. it is sweet and you will know that they are sincere
