How do men generally feel when they see a women crying?

[Alice2398]

My friend was telling me today he hates to see woman cry and that it's almost like blackmail when they do it because he feels helpless and as if he has to fix it for her. Is this how most men feel about women crying in front of them?

How do guys feel when they see women crying?

Mixed. I am usually apathetic due to the sheer number I've met who use it to get their way. It has numbed me. Sometimes I feel pity but rarely enough to do anything especially if I already know the reason. One time I found it so hysterical, I had to leave. I was having lunch and trump was being sworn into office on a big screen they have there. One girl stood up and clapped, most people just watched with mixed expressions, while discussing, and one was legit crying. Her friends had to comfort her. Granted I don't know the reason (maybe she or someone she knew was definitely getting deported or something i don't know but i found it funny like the psychopathic sociopath that i am. I couldn't take it so before I crashed a smile, i got up and left to a store across the way to calm myself down.

Most guys don't like when a woman is crying, but most also don't know what to do to help.

Buy, if a guy ever feels like she is faking it to get her way, he will never trust her again.

My man seeing me cry is probably like that. He just wants to fix it but feels helpless on how. I’ve seen a man cry once. It was my dad. And boy was it hard to see! I didn’t even see my grandpa cry when he was dying of cancer. But seeing my dad cry broke me up inside.

[sugarchateau]

What are the options: men feel generally good or men feel generally bad when they see a women crying? lmao

[OneViewpoint]

It depends. One the woman. On the reason she's blubbering and spreading mascara everywhere? But I'm probably not the normal male when it comes to anyone crying.

OK reasons to cry...

• Happiness. Annoying but OK, I've gotta learn to just let this happen and hug her.
• Genuine pain. OK, I get it. But my response is probably gonna be talking you through some response more useful than crying.
• Anger. OK, I get it but again let's move you to some response more useful than crying.
• Remorse. Mom or dad or your dog just die? I'll sit and hold you as long as you want. Get you tea. Take care of whatever you don't want to deal with.

Reasons that are not OK to cry...

• Being a brat. I (or someone) said no to you and you don't like it. Scream and throw a fit as long as you want. I'm going out with my friends.
• Calculated theater for manipulation. Good luck with that. I'm not stupid enough to let my biological programming override my brain. You'll only make me realize you aren't worth my effort.
• Inability to cope with life in general. If you cry at the drop of a hat 3 times per week, you may have issues that I'm not responsible for and unwilling to put up with. Go see a therapist.

Oh, forgot my favorite one...

KAREN's. If you just got your nose or jaw busted and your face is dripping blood because your entitled brain thought it was OK to take a swing at the wrong person (male or female), I'm standing there LMAO and pulling out my phone to record the comedy of your butthurt howling.

[InTimoreDei]

Depends who she is. I already have really low empathy so if I see a girl that I don't know well crying then I could care less really. It's not my problem.

If she's someone that I know really well then I feel a bit more regarding her tears. Girls that I know cry about everything, though, so it's kinda hard to feel sympathy and be upset over it.

[lightbulb27]

If I can, I empathize with them and be supportive. My guy brain used to want to fix the problem so they didn't cry anymore. Now I'd empathize so they can express their feelings, may try to cheer them up if seems appropriate.

[HomoFuge]

Men are humans like everyone else. Some will come over and help a person who is in distress, regardless of their gender. Others will walk by and pretend they don't see the woman crying.

[MackToday]

I used to take it seriously when I was younger , then I figured out they're faking or overly emotional most of the time. If you're crying, someone better have died or you're full of shit is how I see it now.

[SjE78]

I feel concerned and if i get a bad feeling about why they are upset or seen what caused them to be upset I would go over and see if they're ok and try offer a friendly ear and/or shoulder

[Deydey12345]

What he meant is he feels like an asshole for making her cry.
He doesn't care if she cries, but he cares about his image.. He prefer if she waits till she's alone to cry..

Pathetic guy.

[Anonymous]

It's extremely uncomfortable there are so many men who rarely feel upset enough to cry and when they do they don't know how to feel with it themselves its worse when you have no clue what it's even about and you have to try to help without understanding

[Rangers]

I've trained myself to not allow other people's emotions to have an effect on mine while still being empathetic. So I wouldn't feel much, and it's quite easy to tell when someone's only doing it for attention, which is very common.

[IlyaTheImpaler]

It hasn't happened recently so I'm not sure how I would feel but when I was younger I would try to make her feel better, maybe by staying silent and just let her hug me for like 2 hours wtf 😂

[JSmuve]

Pretty much this

[yeeeeeeeet]

I dont really care that much. I mean its sad for people to cry but I probably had nothing to do with it and I always fuck things up even more when I try to fix them.

[humanearth]

Stay away from her, she might want to start talking

[genericname85]

triggers a kind of protective response but i've learned to suppress it, cause lots of women just cry for no reason and don't even want attention, cause it's awkward to them.

[whitehide]

When I see a woman cry, I feel bad for her, and try to comfort her if she lets me. But some people just push everyone away when they cry, that's when I just comfort them from a distance 😅

[sasukeuchiha7]

I feel uncomfortable and weird when anyone cries so I just quietly get out of there. Beyond that I feel nothing.

[letssee89]

Depends. If I can tell it isn't genuine for the girl to cry, I don't care. But if it's real tears, I always want it to stop, so I'd do damn near anything to make it stop

[Anonymous]

I used to give a shit, but when multiple women were able to cry on my shoulder but they couldn't be bothered to be there if I needed to talk about something. Now I see it for what it is, attention seeking

[ZeussLightningBolt]

That's happened to me. I didn't know what to do and I was just praying for my other female friend to show up

[Guanfei]

That's kind my weakness. If I see a woman crying, I have to make a move, even just to ask what's wrong.

[outside_Toronto]

Depends why she's crying

If a loved one just passed, it's understandable
If it's because her favorite movie didn't win an academy award...….

[bladedshard]

Brain process: aw i hope she is ok. Wait Do i know her? Is that (insertname)? Shit she saw me! [Real Answer (I will usually sit and listen to the problem)]

[Napoly_Lover]

Like there’s no tomorrow, men in general are going crazy when woman is crying, I found that the normal thing to do is just comfort the woman beside you and hear her out I think that is just enough!

[Dankster96]

Indifferent, I'm not there to be anyone's confidant.

[Sweatyotterr]

Its annoying girls cry really easily i know i have three sisters

[VIVANT]

That just means your sister cry easily

I have a brother who cries easily

I don’t cry easily at all

[WhoDatGuy]

I hate it. Growing up with a single mum she cried a lot. And now I hate it. (crying for good reason is fine but not over petty shit)

[Lumberman989]

If the tears are genuine then I feel bad, but if I have reason to suspect they're fake then I get pissed

[itsmatty]

i've seen so many girls abuse this by exaggerating or pretending that i just ignore them now.

[DDpsy]

Yes. men are pretty dumb and women know how to use that.

[WhereAmI]

I don’t get sucked into that only bc I know women who cry to get what they want like a toddler

[winterfox10]

Super duper uncomfortable... I hate seeing women cry.

[callmeprem]

I have more solution oriented mind but when someone cries I feel also like crying or sometimes I can give support to her

[weirdoweirdo]

Yeah I feel clueless as fuck and I feel that I have to fix it but I dont know how.

[pizzalovershouse]

if it's his girl friend it's what did I do wrong now

[samael_kmarty]

Guys hate when a good friend or any female cry's , it's something biological I think

[intjgamer]

If it's over a fight , no sympathy. If it's over a sad part in a movie I can be empathetic. Too many times is crocodile tears.

[esotericstory]

I feel like its just an emotional release for them nothing more.

[Snakeyes7]

Absolutely, we feel happiest when our girl is the happy

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I would feel bad. I wanna empathize her but I just don't like how society can misinterpret me.

[artemis77]

confused what should i do what should i say maybe i should interfere not my business really best leave well alone.

[Nadim171]

Yeah I agree, I feel like I have to help them even if they're a stranger.

[Anonymous]

I'm not sure I'd use those exact words but thats generally how I feel, yes.

[Anonymous]

Generally I see her as a child who can’t handle her emotions.

[VIVANT]

How do you feel
When you see Anyone cry?

[FunkyMonkee]

A women? Is she Siamese twins?

[FýrdracaDócincel]

I don't really feel anything.

[bannacookies]

That they are a woman.

[smahala1991]

I'd be asking if they were ok

[Gedaria]

Put your arm around them to comfort her

[Anonymous]

Yeah. I kind of feel like I should just back away.

[PrettyRegular]

I would want to make her feel good.

[MisterSir]

i don't feel anything :-/

[PrincessGrail]

I think so

[Giggletr0n]

"Oh what now?"

[Slim57]

Indifferent
