Some people say it reflects/shows weakness, others say it exposes his sensitive side.

Is it OK for men to cry?
If "no" Why?
If "yes".......When is it acceptable for men to cry?

**edgray** · 09-27-2010, 07:47 AM

whenever they feel like it. There's no reason why men shouldn't cry at all.

I haven't cried in years, last time was when my grandma passed away.

Crying is a human emotion.

Men are human.

I cried for 2 days after my grandfather passed away back in July. I cried last night as I watched the 12 minute DVD memorial of him and his pictures.

For men to cry? Yes.

For new members to join a forum and create 10 posts of meaningless dribble starting with 3 "welcomes" to other people?

Men cry for joy or for sadness, used to be thought of a sign of weakness for a man, think that reasoning is no more or maybe fading out.

Maybe back during the times of the Roman Empire and such.

No! the only time men should cry is if they are alone they are drunk or they get hit in the testicles.

As long as no one sees them

JK, yes it's fine I suppose.

**jack_ham** · 10-08-2010, 01:35 AM

after all men is also a human being which has emotions which came through laugh, crying, anger so its natural for men to cry when he got hurt

**fengbao** · 10-08-2010, 02:06 AM

No! In my opinion,men cry shows weakness.

**Benmoore47** · 10-08-2010, 03:05 AM

Yes!, It only shows that the person is kind hearted and lovely.

You don't need to hide your through feelings and pretend to be strong especially if not.

**theentry** · 10-08-2010, 06:56 AM

Yes it's ok. Afterall we are all only weak humans

**lightingever** · 10-08-2010, 10:29 AM

Of course yes. Nobody can be sane all the time, and all of the people have emotions. What's more, I always think cry can relieve pressure. After crying, I usually forget the sad thing and cheer up again.
On the other hand, a crying man can always make your heart ache. I used to make my boyfriend cry. Just at that time, I knew I could not afford his tears.

**Blake123** · 10-08-2010, 10:32 AM

I guess it's normal to cry for everybody, it really helps to relieve the stress, may be that's why women live longer...

**Benmoore47** · 10-11-2010, 04:26 AM

Eyes are made to use in seeing and crying also. It only shows that we are not robots, we can be hurt and feel pain.

**dagaul101** · 10-11-2010, 11:33 AM

Times have changed and it's ok for men to get in touch with their feminine sides, just watch the current top office movies these days, and the top shows on tv, all the men have an emotional side

**ChrisTurn** · 10-11-2010, 12:13 PM

Yes, it's ok, but not too much...

**Petal** · 10-12-2010, 03:43 AM

I find it depends what kind of scenario that set emotions off. Man hate the least thing or disaster happen and not willing to cry, they might want to be alone when it does or they have good reason to vent than cry anymore.

**Darkness23** · 10-12-2010, 11:52 PM

For me when a man cry that is the time he became really macho.
Know why? Because he is not afraid to show his weakest side.
And I admire such a guy.
