I have cried in front of one of my guy friends before and felt like a total loser! I tried to make an excuse but he knew what was going on, and tryed hard to comfort me. Is it ok to exspress your emotions and just break down when you really have to in front of a guy? Its just that some guys think that all girls do is cry, well that's at least what one of my other friends said. what do you think?

If you cry over someone who died well that's understandable, but if its over a guy, hell no don't do that, it makes us go ummmm ok yeah well sorry, ummm and then we think what the hell are we supposed to do or why should we care. I had a girl cry over a guy in front of me and I was like well ok then I am going to leave and you can deal with your own issues, but don't bring me into them. Or I would say your crying over that guy are you serious he's a douchebag why would you do that? To be honest if your going to cry over some do that with girls not with guys unless theyre gay, because it puts us in an ackward situation.

Hey, I've cried myself at times. It shows I care, and the women take it that way. Certainly no one is going to hold it against you. Some girls fake it as you know just to get the guy to feel sorry for them.

Don't do that! ever but if you feel like crying, don't hold back.

It's only a problem to most people when the girl is crying on a constant basis. Realistically, when most girls cry in public or in front of other people they don't do it often, and good guy friends will be there to support them right away, just like what happened with you.

Actually letting a guy see your true emotions and comfort you is a very honoring thing to give any guy.

Honestly, I try not to cry in front of them. They already think we're weak and emotional and weird, I don't want to give them any reason to cement this belief. I think the uncontrollable showing of emotion that girls exhibit is part of the reason that we aren't taken seriously in business. Guys look at that and think that we are weak.

Question Asker Yeah that was what I was kinda thinking too...usually I try the bug in eye thing....but I think that wouldn't work every time...haha - 3 months ago
Answerer Well yeah. I'm in a fairly male industry (commodity trading) in a very male field (I.T.). If I cry in front of those guys I don't know if they'll respect me anymore. So I've learned to act tougher than I really am and not show weakness. It feels weird, but I definitely think it's helped me gain respect. I'm the second highest-ranking woman in the firm right now, and I think that's in part because I've learned to act so tough. - 3 months ago

Do women like gender bias when it works in their favor?

Yes, treat us equal in every way, even if it causes us problems

No, we should get equality when we want it, but preferential treatment other times.
