Honestly, the first thing that came to mind when I read the question is that you are suffering from depression at the moment, and it's manifesting itself as outward aggression and hostility toward others. You're attempting to get people to validate what you feel towards yourself at the moment, so at least you might feel like your not alone.
I like a man to be sensitive, not necesarily a baby but sensitive enough to be able to cry, feel happy or sad. Nothing wrong with it ! For me it is much better to share your feelings with the people you love, and if my man would not be willing to show his feelings to me, then I would be dissapointed very much.
Your homework... ask a fellow 'man' with no emotion, feelings, just 'pure manlyness' to break your back with a golf club, paraylise you, condemn you to life in a wheelchair...
See how well you cope, how 'not-depressed' you'll be, prove your manlyness!
why should you judge other people who are connected with their emotions more than you...have you ever seen me, myself and irene - I mean hilarious movie, but its true...if you just hold in all your emotions one day you'll flip...sometimes crying is the only medicine and if you can't understand that then I'm sorry...i just hope its not drugs you'd turn to over crying...
being a "wuss" has nothing to do with crying...its people like you who turn otu to be serial killers and school shooters...seriously tho, I feel for you man, when your mother or father dies, it will be a shame to not shead a tear on their life...too bad, its really too bad for you, I'm glad I'm not in your life style...
hey, if you feel the full range of emotions, than you are not really living. everyone needs to laugh, get mad, feel happy, feel scared, and yes, cry in order to be human. if you shut out parts of you, than all that negativity will come back in a bad way. Crying is a healthy reaction to certain circumstances and regardless of how many X chromosomes you have, everyone is allowed to cry. maybe you need to learn how.
We were taught to forget. I for one know about myself that the only way I can feel sadness is through empathy towards someone else's sadness, and my own sadness relocates itself into anger. And there's nothing I can do about it.
Of course, I don't get angry basically almost ever, because I hate being angry too. xP
in my opinion if a guy doesn't cry, he's simply not a man, if he ant tell you how he really feels, he just hids it to look bigger its a weaker thing to do, a women would not reject a guy just because he cries when he is upset, itts just simply a wayn of showing feelings.
I think it makes you weak if you don't cry or show emoshin
it doesn't make you strong it shows that you don't care and you don't have a hart just because your parents aspeshaly your father says don't.cry or show emoshin when you are littel doesn't mean that when you grow up you can't show emoshin or cry most women want to know what you feel and think we don't want a robot for a boyfriend or husband we want a real man who feels and crys not fake crying but real crying and real feelings

Have you ever been shot, stabbed or severely injured before? Didn't think so, but those type of injuries aren't something you can just walk off. The reality is, if you got shot you would be crying like a baby. And unless you hate your parents with a passion, when they die and are gone forever chances are your going to cry.

nope, but still, a real man should take it like a man, have balls, use his testosterone to shield him from any kind of pain
I'm 27. Healthy, fit, and live a productive life. I love sports, love martial arts, and I like women. And I admit I cry. I'm not afraid to show my true emotions. I lost my father? I'd cry. Lost a girlfriend? I'd cry. Lost my mother? I'd cry. The point is, crying doesn't mean you're not masculine. It doesn't mean sh*t. Empathy is nothing to be ashamed of.
Acting like a man means almost never crying and barely having emotions. That is a "man" of ideal.
Why? Because by lacking emotions as a whole, you lack negative emotions as well - and that way you can always act not-sad not-depressed just overwhelmingly awesome and the same all the time.
I'll cry if I can't help myself. Sometimes my emotions are so low that I have to cry to feel better. And if a guy/girl has the nerve to come over and tell me to 'Stop crying, be a man", then guess what happens?
They get punched and knocked out. THERE! Are you f*cking convinced now how 'MANLY' I am?
Men are gonna cry, be scared, feel weak, get sad and depressed, etc... NO WAY AROUND IT... I think what you're saying is that a Man should never show it. In any case it is a matter of opinion and I agree to a certain extent as to that it can be quite uncomfortable to observe a man in such a state(any living creature for that matter).
haha lolol I love how the p**** ass bitch writing this sh*t goes up anonyymous f***in nigga has no balls... but yeah I mean I haven't ever cried from physical pain and last time I cried was because I viewed myself as a worthless pile of sh*t that nobody would ever care about but hey... you wanna show your a man come and run with tha wolves nigga f*** 2 dope boys snort some crack then hit a bitch with a gat... GOLF WANG!
wow so if your mom died? or if you were really in love, well with your personality it seems you don't know what love is! and don't you feel a little bottled up if you never cryed its natural, well I don't like to cry a lot either I don't want people to think I'm a softy even though I'm a 16 year old girl
You have some serious issues if you think men should just "suck it up" when a tragedy occurs in their lives. Crying is natural for everyone, not just women. It IS a show of emotion and compassion, and for your information, girls tend to dislike the apathetic assholes who don't give other guys a bit of credit for crying - especially after a death or being physically hurt. "Taking it like a man" isn't sexist towards women - it's sexist toward men. Being a man doesn't mean you never cry.
I think its perfectly normal for ANYONE to cry, especially in a tragic situation like someone close to you dying. It isn't weak at all, in fact I see it as strong; it takes a lot of courage for a man to cry in front of others, after all its only an emotion. But as for men who don't show any emotion what so ever, I find it very unattractive. Just be yourself, emotions and all.
Men who cry have a bigger spine than guys who deny their emotions. And why do you feel that men should not cry? I think a man should cry when he wants to, as it shows who he is. We all die naked and alone - I don't cry about that as I'm connected with the world and those closest to me.
Dude you got it wrong if a man is strong he shows his weekness, a week man hides his weeknes because he is week and doesn't want to be hurt any more or shamed. A strong man would show his weekness and wouldn't care what people think though cuzz its how he feels, it is stupid to say if one crys that he is any less of a man then the one next to him holding back the same feeling.
Personally, I don't cry when I'm in pain. Got kicked somewhere that should only be treated delicately and my eyes were dry. As for emotions, I have cried when I was overwhelmed and in all honesty it has happened more than once.
N offence, but if you feel I am less than masculine for doing that, please get someone to kick you in the trousers with the maximum force they can, and check to see if you cry.

but women are turned off by men who cry
in my opinion if a guy doesn't cry, he's simply not a man, if he ant tell you how he really feels, he just hids it to look bigger its a weaker thing to do, a women would not reject a guy just because he cries when he is upset, itts just simply a wayn of showing feelings.

Real men cry and show emotions.
Real men are not always serious.
Real men are full of emotions, and anyone who bottles them up ends up with health problems.
Act like a man?
Yes acting like a man means crying, sharing emotions, going through sad times and good times and facing them with appropriate emotions.
What you seem to be talking about is a robot and someone that could never be loving or real to a partner or children.
Acting like a man means almost never crying and barely having emotions. That is a "man" of ideal.
Why? Because by lacking emotions as a whole, you lack negative emotions as well - and that way you can always act not-sad not-depressed just overwhelmingly awesome and the same all the time.
bullsh*t
I'll cry if I can't help myself. Sometimes my emotions are so low that I have to cry to feel better. And if a guy/girl has the nerve to come over and tell me to 'Stop crying, be a man", then guess what happens?

So unless you have never cried or felt depressed (in other words, unless you are an emotional zombie) then this post is just completely hypocritical.
I agree men need to be men and not be wimps, but God didn't give us tear ducts just to test our manliness (men should cry in private though)
haha lolol I love how the p**** ass bitch writing this sh*t goes up anonyymous f***in nigga has no balls... but yeah I mean I haven't ever cried from physical pain and last time I cried was because I viewed myself as a worthless pile of sh*t that nobody would ever care about but hey... you wanna show your a man come and run with tha wolves nigga f*** 2 dope boys snort some crack then hit a bitch with a gat...
