Man tears

[Tyler Durden]

Is it ever okay for a man to cry?

Interested to hear this from both the male and female view points. And from any hermaphrodites we have here too.

Do man tears make you go "grow a pair" or do they make you think "aw, this guy has a tender side"

Obviously I don't mean man tears as in "I've just been kicked in the knackers"

I think it does show a softer side. As long as he is not always crying over everything then it's alright lol.

I think it's nice to see once and awhile as long as they aren't crying over a broken nail.

 

[Wookiegirl]

It is so nice to see it sometimes.
BUT I also really need a manly man too.
So I guess I kinda like it both ways

What if its one of the ladies nails and it's somewhere he can't reach?

There's only two ways?

And I thought you were wordly wise

Yes, it is okay for a man to cry.

Good reasons: Death of a loved one, Birth of a child, Watching an emotional part in a movie, If in extreme pain, just to name a few.

Stop trying to confuse me.
Basically - I don't want someone who's more emotional than me.
And i'm pretty frickin emotional
but a tear or two from time to time is good.
so you just stop pickin at me.
I'm multi-tasking

i get turned off when men cry, but thats only if they are real cry baby types... now if they cry during death or because i am leaving them...lol...then its ok for me to see them cry. i like my men to be men. stiff upper lip and all. but if i kick them in the nuts and they cry then i'll be all like 'ew, you cried...what the fuck is wrong with you. you're supposed to be a man.'



lol....k got it...no crying.

Its ok for a man to cry. I mean, ive done it before. Obviously the usual family deaths have caused it. But other things too, sad films, TV programs.

yeah now see if i was sitting next to a guy who started to cry during a TV program or movie, i'd be all like...omg that is so weird.:nod:i'd be like, 'hey its just a movie, be a man.':24:


so like ok again

i saw a man cry in a cinema once........the movie was 'armageddon'

 

[Jersey]

I think there are certain instances where I would feel uncomfortable if a man didn't cry.... I was at a funeral and the son of who passed away didn't shed a tear. I was blubbering like a baby and he was just like a statue. I felt so awkward...

I don't like cry babies (male or female) but I don't think man tears are a bad thing. Everyone has to let loose sometimes!

Circumstances...any man who says he doesnt cry is a liar.....i know you guys give the act of being a hard shell, but you guys have feelings too....possibly not as much as us girls, speaking personally i cry at anything, but thats cuz i take everything personally...
I think that its ok to cry..i dont find it uncomfortable..i find it human.

 

[royalrainbow]

It's perfectly okay for men to cry, as much as it is ok for women to cry. There are always instances that warrant crying, for men or women.

I don't expect anything different from either gender. Treat 'em equally, I say.

i tend to let emotion pile up inside me for a long time and thats not good. some times i cant cry even if i know i have too. i dint cry at my grand mothers memorial when she died almost 2 years ago. i dint cry when i went outside and saw my neighbor dead in her garden. but those 2 things hit me so hard and i let it build up for a while. i know my grandmother is in a better place and shes not suffering but going outside and seeing my neighbor dead in her garden is still taking its toll on me to this day. i cant get over it.

so yeah i cry when i cant take it anymore and just let it out. but i try not to do it around people
