He just wants attention. Listen, he's crying right now. I don't mean with tears, But he's bitching about men crying. And if he wants to be a real "man" and not cry, then he wouldn't cry about men crying.
crying isn't showing weakness it means you have been strong for too long and ther is nuthing wrong with a man crying that means he has a heart
A "real" man can show his emotions without being a crybaby. If there is no emotion, it is hard to have a relationship with anyone. It is unhealthy to shut yourself off from the world.
you put "real" man as if you don't believe there are REAL men out there who cry. A REAL MAN can cry/ be a cry baby in any situation...we all have certain things that hurt our hearts... So YES, a REAL MAN CAN show his emotions by crying... But, you're right on the second half...it is hard to build and maintain a relationship with someone who shows absolutely NO emotion.
I think if a guy isn't afraid to cry around me its because he's sensitive and he trusts me <3
being sensitive is for the weak
Real men aren't afraid to cry because they know it doesn't make them wimpy, it makes them human.
but it doesn't make them masculine
and not crying does? men were meant to cry, too. I suppose in your case your definition involves showing no emotion. but its easier to pretend you feel nothing than to face your emotions like a man and a human. this entire argument is a matter of opinion. is it really worth being "masculine" if virtually no other guys follow your opinion and girls don't exactly think its masculine either? I have never met a woman that wants to be with a man who won't trust enough to let down his guard and cry.
most girls will tell you its cute when a guy cries in extreme situations, like if someone he's close to passes away...it makes them seem vulnerable and human
It's so NOT a turn off. Men are humans to. We go through things sometimes that are unbearable. It's perfectly normal and a good woman would stick by her man and help him through those difficult times.
WHAT, that's raw of you to say. I actually like it when guys cry, it shows that they have a heart, and aren't as cold and ruthless as they seem on the outside. (:
I cry.. And there's no way I'm weak. I just say "f*** society" and express myself as is. Anyone says sh*t and I'll throw them. -shrugs- judo, before anyone asks.
I don't cry because I'm sad or weak, I cry because its an easy way to relieve stress. I can cry with a huge smile on my face and laughing. it just feels awesome!
I am a sensitive individual though have not cried from physical pain since my preschool-days. I have cried though on every break-up whether I broke up with her or she broke up with me, and on the death of every family member and pet.
girls don't look down on it either. I was on a first date with a girl and we saw the blindside and I cried when michael saved SJ. she saw me and then a few minutes later we hooked up.
crying is not a sign of masculinity. It shows we are human
Duuuude WTF ! I'm not a machine !
Me and my friends gossip our sex are being unfeeling creatures.. !
But not that far.
I cried a few times in the last 2 years, but I don't let anybody c me crying
haha
Lmao like a hundred people got the sh*t trolled out of them!
How do you not recognise a troll when you see one lolol I love the amount of serious answers this got.
real men aren't afraid to show their real feelings. it's the cowards who are too afraid of what other people will think that hold them in.
Cowards? You'd totally love me if I smacked you in the face because I didn't care what you thought of me. How is that even a positive trait that you don't care about others' thoughts? We could clearly just exploit the world around us while we drown in a sea of selfishness... is that what you want? Suppression and hatred all the way!
..stupid. Obviously I don't and won't do any of the above.
You should "not care" only when you're already "good enough" and have only acceptable traits, no errors.
WTF are you on about?!?
To be honest, I'm not sure anymore.
Interesting. xD
I would totally think a guy was weak if he cried when he stubbed his toe or lost at a game. I know guys who cry when they lose and I hate it, hate it, hate it! However in some cases they should cry. If a man never ever cries then I would say that, that makes him weak. Letting out feelings is not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of courage to cry in front of people even if they might think less of you. Real men Cry. That's just my opinion.
I think that I takes a real man to cry and let it out.
but he also needs to be strong, and can't cry over everything
this question is kinda messed up and I have no idea how to answer this.
why?
That is bull sh*t men should have emotions like women, but men won't express them like women.
good for them then
So you're asking anonymously because you're so damn hard?
Listen kid. You've got a lot of growing up to do.
I think a man cry for something he really appreciate is more attractive.
why?
In my opinion,it's indicate something he really really cherished,and he was moved or hurted
deeply it's a real man.But if a man cry for another thing just like a game ,a small test it seems that the man have on spine
I find those who are 'weak' are those who can't take care of their woman and abandon her. guys sometimes have silly thoughts of what it takes to be a 'man'.
take care of her how? you feel you need to depend on us?
having a backbone doesn't mean not having human emotions
why?
trust me I'm all about guys not being emotional but what I mean by that is its OK to feel sad and not show it
Crying isn't weak, it's human...not a turn off, just a heart string puller.
You must be bored, lonely, or miserable to be posting thise foolish replies you have posted. You sound as if you will be killing a few people very shortly if you haven't alreadystarted.
GEt a life. Find some happiness.
bitch
youre so tough man. I'm about to cry that's how tough you sounded
LOL!
Why is crying a big deal. It's just water springing from ones eyes. No big deal. If men weren't meant to cry, why were they given tear ducts?
you are right, but amongst us males is quite typical to be ashamed of crying because, directly or inderectly, males are still raised with the 'men don't cry' stuff.
That's why I don't follow the social norm.
no, I would not find it a turn off for a guy to cry...i wouldn't find it a turn on either, but it would show he has feelings, and isn't an empty cold hearted shell. I wouldn't want to be with a guy who hides his feelings.
What if I just don't really have any feelings left? I can still be affectionate, but I'm unable to be sad.
Is that a.. "turn off", for you?
well it would probably frustrate me. I'm a very emotional person and when others don't react to things I think they really should react to, I don't understand it. and I get upset.
There are times when I really wish I could. xP
but wouldn't you think he was weak? had no confidence?
No. That wouldn't be weak. I think its stupid to hold it in. and since guys get so much crap for it, I would think of him as being more confident if he cried.
I mean, he shouldn't cry at every little thing, but like if someone he was close to died or something major happened, he should cry.
I bet when you get older you will eventually start to think it is a turn-off
Oh so I just have my opinion because I'm immature and only 17? *eyeroll* how very mature of you to say.
yeah because I've noticed that as girls get older, the higher their standards get
Actually, the older they get, the more reasonable their expectations become. In most cases, anyways.
Well jeez dude, if you're going to insist that we're lying, why even bother to ask?
YEAH! WHOOO!
Cause we're men we repress our emotions till they turn into tumors and we die early.
WHOOO!
i like men who show their feelings and it isn't healthy if they do bottle them up inside... I say that all men should show their feelings if they want to
REALLY...A man cries make him a bigger man.
MAN, just says it all.
For a man to cry that I see, I give him much props, mad respect.
Yes its a man, big deal. Move on.
More respect comes in the long run.
Men are cowards if they cry!
agreed
soo say if you had kids and they died, it'd be cowardly to cry? ugh you guys are ridiculous
men are cowards if they are afraid to show their true emotions in front of their women...
no kids and no girlfriend...a man never cries
My boyfriend is in specops for the army, and I've seen him cry. He's still the toughest bastard alive.
still he shouldn't cry
You know, there's a point when a man can cry if he needs to, and it'd be unnerving and destructive to hold back.
If he never cried or was sad I would think he's trying to cover up, what must be, HUGE weakness because Jesus wept and he's stronger than anyone! : )
how?
b/c it's not real...ppl have emotions : / men and women
well men are not supposed to show their emotions
I agree with Anonymous! Jesus cried and he is stronger than any man...i would feel all weak and defensless if my boyfriend never got upset or cried. And your telling me that if the.love.of your life died you wouldn't cry...BULLSH*T!
What is this "crying" you speak of?
haha
I will laugh my ass off when your son becomes a queen
LMAO!
I disagree. I firmly believe a REAL MAN is not afraid to show his emotions.
bullsh*t, you may say that but you get repulsed at the sight of seeing a man cry
How would you possibly know what repulses me? It takes real courage for a man to show his feelings. I will take a man like that, over man that pretends he's all hard up when he's really just a bitch any day of the week, and two times on Sunday!
Yes. Of course it takes real courage, because everyone looks down upon him for it and think he's a sissy. And they'll all remember and hate him for being weak and unmanly, because the people I'm talking about are lost in a giant blob of unjustified genderal stereotypes. Wonderful!
Crying and showing your doubt makes you HUMAN! When a man allows himself to cry, it means he is confident and secure and knows that a straightforward display of human emotion does not threaten his masculinity. Pretending your feelings don't exist is just stupid.
you women have life so much easier
TROOOOOOOOOLL IN THE DUNGEON!
A man who is an emotional void. No thanks.
why?
Me too.
god bless you girl
So we should be robots
men should be, not women
And you should learn how not to be slow
Did you have a loving mother in your life? There's a good chance you didn't. Have you ever considered seeing a therapist?
yes I did
What a close-minded response...
totally disagree! crying is a natural thing.. it doesn't make you more or less of a man.
how so?
well.. actually.. I change my answer... I think it's OK if a a guy cries over relative or close friend of his dies.. but if he cries over a game or a movie or watever. then I think he should toughen up a little.
i agree. its perfectly alright to cry over sad things or even out of frustration once in a while, but letting it become a habit or a reaction to something like a video game kind of becomes a maturity issue. its about the balance of controlling your emotions but letting them out when its necessary that makes a man a man, that power over voluntarily releasing emotion
Your f***ing delusional.
why? women want a strong man, they don't want a spinless wimp
Look at the answers and comments from every single woman for this question and you get your answer. You are the only person out of 39 people who answered that seems to think that all women want an emotionless machine. You are not a woman, you do not know what women want. Face the facts, you are the only one who thinks that woman want a machine, because we don't.
you women are so weird, us men are simple, you are not
Delusional people are always simple.
Wo... I mean females are more prone to seem complex because they can see through what the hell you want and what the hell you're doing.
This is what happens when guys don't get laid at all... They turn into trolls.
okay...
what did your parents do to you?!
its what girls did to me
hahaahahahha okay. I'd hate to be you
A-motherf***ing-men, I'd drink to that.
So True
I like sensitive guys. It's like they care about life more.
you may say that but you really don't
Hate to be you.
why?
Hang on to your seat for 30 years and you'll know why.
so why do you cry everyday?
you never answered? you whine like a little baby boy and every response you don't like is like an 8 years old response by calling them a bitch when they respond reasonably and respectfully. grow up and no girl here is going to like your weirdo tough guy act . you do worse than crying, you whine
ridiculous
why?
umm everyone cries
well it's worse if a guy does it
Nah not really my husband does, he cried when we lost our son. Does that makehimmweak?
yes it does, but I'm sorry about your son, how did he die?
No it doesn't and he died in my arms 15 min after he was born
wow, I'm sorry, geeze, was he born pre-mature or what?
6 weeks preme and the smallest of the 3 of them
Nice q
I disagree
why?
