men who cry are weak.

I think that is a horrible thing for people to believe. Men who cry are human, they have feelings and emotions like anyone else. Look at our soldiers for instance. How many of them do you think cry? Are they to be called weak as well? I think that men who cry are not only confident in their masculinity, but who they are in general as well. Theyre brave,courageous, they have a heart. Why should people critisize men like that?

I totally agree with you. The times I have known men around me to cry, THEY REALLY MEANT IT, and they weren't afraid to express what they needed to express. I know of a couple of others who just bottled it all up and exploded later, and that's not only unhealthy for the people doing it, it's unhealthy for the people around them. Men are not weak if they cry.

I agree. My husband (the truck driver and harley dude) cries more at a sad movie than I do - He doesn't weep [like I can over a movie or something]. I worry about me crying at our kids' weddings (if or) when they get married, but I worry more about him! It's wonderful. He's a sweetie. We've been together 34 years, married 27.

I think it totally depends on how often he cries and what he cries about. I've come to realize some men are manipulative criers. Those are the worst!! Then there are those that go psycho and start crying when you try to break up with them...and some of them never quit crying! I guess I'm a little old fashioned. I like to know that a guy has the ability to cry at the really huge things, but I do lose respect for a guy who cries too often at things that aren't huge. I'm an emotional girl, and I need a strong guy to counterbalance me!!

i dont think men that cry are weak. to me that shows their emotional side. their caring side

It depends. If the guy is raised in such a way that showing emotions is okay, then crying is not a sign of weakness. However if he grew up believing crying makes you weak, then maybe he's really weak. Same goes for women. If they think that crying is a sign of weakness, then they might view men who cry as weak. But to me, crying is ok. Toughness isn't measured by how much tears were not shed.

I myself bravely admit that I do cry sometimes when things is so hard for my emotion to control. When I had broke up with my first love, its when I cried most. I took many consecutive nights of whisper crying on my fellow. Even my family knew it, my parents were being too supportive in that occasion. I knew I've got nothing to be ashamed off that I cried for her and until now I never regret any tears that had fallen from my eyes.

I am agree with you the men masculinity isn't depend of they cry or not. But I think the men tears must have the good reason anyway... rare man tears are really appreciable.

Most of us has heard the song"Did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the World,was she crying?" and if crying can make a woman beautiful,then it can make a man strong too.But when some one cry?One can shed tears under various situations.Men do not cry as easily as women due to emotional differences on regional basis.As for example,a woman from Indian sub-continent cry a lot more than her counter part in Europe.Whereas,this region have seen more strong lady in power than other regions.So crying is not the criteria to decide weakness of men in our society.It is the greed for power & money makes a man weak in the community.
