Why do some people think men are weak if they cry?

Question

It's a dumb gender stereotype. I know I'm not alone in thinking how ridiculous this is...

ohshee · Accepted Answer

Well I'm not sure what you mean by this .. I can say this I'm a big boy and if something in my life happens and it affects me depending on what it is if it's about it a family member or a friend or somebody I love and it makes me sad I'm going to cry I could care less what other people think it's not about them it's about me morning a friend or a loved one and how deep my love was for them and I'm hurt I'm in pain and if tears come out of my eyes they are meant to come out of my eyes pic as I am sad I don't care how other people see it I don't care if other people judge me. Honestly it's not their business and I don't care if they see me being weak because I love somebody and I'm in pain as a matter of fact I would rather have somebody think that I was weak because of it because I would definitely surprised them if it if he was to come down and the complete opposite but I don't even care about that it's a matter fact I don't care about anything at that moment except for that loved one's going to be missed and what's going through my mind at that moment is all the best times that we had how much they're going to be missed

I can tell you how weak I am the other day I was answering a question on here it was an upbeat happy question and they got three quarters of the way answering it and all the sudden I got a Vibe and vision and something was telling me something about this person at the question I was answering I was supposed to be picking out songs that were upbeat to make me happy motivated and very last song I had to change it because this Vibe was talking to me telling me to send something else that meant something to him that he wanted her to know and I had tears coming down my face as I listened to the music of this song I could feel him on the other size and I could feel her still mourning him and he just wanted her to know that he was there with her every single day and wants her to snap out of it and I mean I had tears just streaming down my face so if somebody wants to call me weak for that they don't know what week is if anybody was to call anybody week for crying and they don't know what love is they don't know what compassion is they have never found themselves if they're too worried about what other people think about when they cry

It's just how a lot of men are raised (myself included) I think it's something that parents do subconsciously. If a little boy falls and get hurts, he'll get a pat on the back and a "you'll be fine" and girls get comforted. Even when I found out a good friend of mine died, I waited to cry until I was by myself. It's definitely something I'm trying to unlearn. It doesn't help that a lot of women also have the same mentality.

Apulu_3 · Accepted Answer

Society have very high expectation from men. In previous generations men were considered stronger than women. Women were expected to be soft and vulnerable. In today's world where women situation have improved, the situation of men remains the same because no one really gave importance to men. All just cared about how difficult it is to be a girl because the condition of previous generation for women was like hell but no one really cared about the condition of men who didn't even had any fault in that. Most people have a mentality that if one person is like that then all others of same community are like that. You must have heard of the quote, "All men are same" which is completely false. Present generation men are judged by the previous generation men (heartless, strong) and present generation women are judged by previous generation women (soft, vulnerable). Society doesn't expects men to cry because they are expected to be the stronger one and not really emotional. However logically this have nothing to do with gender. Women can be a bit more emotional as they have high rush of hormones in them but men even have all rights to be emotional. What happened if they are physically stronger? they still have a heart which hurts when they are in difficult situation. People think a man weak if he cries because they belong to old generation mentality when men had all the comforts and no reasons to cry (except stress from their work).

idkwhatsreal · Accepted Answer

To be fair. It’s really easy to say that you think men should cry online where you can’t you can’t see him crying or know why.
I believe many women like the idea of this. But when it’s happening and they know the reasons for said crying. It all depends. Also women say hurtful things to men intentionally and if a man started crying then and it was your fault I dono how accepting of the tears would be. Anyways point being it’s very circumstantial. Crying is part of emotions but I agree there is a time and place where it’s acceptable and that goes for Male and female. Cuz women judge men pretty harshly regardless of their natural caring instinct.
Which could also be a reason why men don’t cry as often. Cuz they are friends mostly with other men usually. And men are By nature less empathetic so crying isn’t something that gets a lot of care from their counterparts. Anyways that’s my opinion.

The1honestguy · Answer

Because they have been brainwashed by sociality to be thinking that. Just like when you hear a certain things that someone said on a news story and the other ones are saying the same thing that most people not all believe it. Even if it was nothing but a lie. You can imagine how much the world will be if they were all being honest with themselves and their emotions and feeling like to say anything about a person being weak. One of those is not going to have a good day if they see the strength to focus on the fact we are going to cry at one point where the next isn't. The only one that is weak is the only one who is not being honest with themselves and their own problem. You are not holding your emotions in to put them on someone else to deal with their own way being cowards. If I'm going to cry for my own reasons I say fuck what anyone says. You are going to always see people who follow the whatever one certain way people say that it should be. Nice to think like you are and you are way ahead of the others that think that way.

Bricealan · Answer

When I left my FIRST really nice corporate employer, The Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, I had been there 8 years, and started after college graduation. I had many, many friends, lovers, tennis partner, basketball teammates, volleyball teammates, and wonderful work associates over those 8 years. In addition to that, I was leaving home and moving to California. The day I left, I CREID LIKE A BABY, all over all of those mentioned above, including my tennis partner. Additionally, to make it more emotional, it was at Christmas time, and everyone was going after to the Firestone Country Club for Christmas dinner and celebration.
My boss was a bomber pilot, I believe in Korea, and was considerably older than me, and when we got to the country club, he met me at the entrance. and said:

"Don't worry about the tears at work. As far as I 'm concerned, a man that doesn't have any emotions is not worth a shit"!
I never gave my teary 'goodbye' another thought.

MrJMM · Answer

It's a stupid thing that has been out for countless generations. Like how people think guys wearing pink is gay or something even though throughout men was the first ones to wear pink but a couple of generations later they changed because a woman wore it better than a man. Crying is allowing ourselves to experience our natural response has immense value, as well. Crying releases tension lowers blood pressure, and stimulates the production of endorphins which is a natural reliever that makes someone feel better. Crying is a healthy way to deal with emotions, it allows for a release of tension, sadness, even intense anger. This is far, far healthier than bottling things up inside to fester. What's more, showing you have emotions allows for a deeper connection to other human beings. This stereotype that crying and emotions are weakness, and that men shouldn't be that way is the reason that suicides are higher among men. There is no difference in the emotional capacity of the sexes, society just tells men to 'suck it up, 'boys don't cry, 'man up’ so they suppress emotions and seek no comfort or help from other people. It is damaging, it is fucked up, and it has to stop.

ShadezMcgee · Answer

The general notion as to why it is seen as weak for men is because it doesn't solve problems. We are supposed to be stoic and logical when it comes to facing life and obstacles that get in our way.

Sure, we are human and all have breaking points, but there better be a legitimate reason why a man cries. My exceptions would be death of family member/close friend/SO/pet and severe physical pain. It feels good to let it out, but it should be done in private to allow release and a second to regroup.

People feel uncomfortable when others cry because it can be seen as pathetic or overdramatic and something not worth crying about. The exceptions can be for reasons I listed above. People respect resiliency and calm individuals who can overcome adversity instead of crying or bitching about minor inconveniences.

It is also seen as a feminine behavior across the board. So when a man breaks down, both men and women have a track record of saying things like, "what are you crying about?", "did you die?", "quit being a pussy!", "man up!", "quit being a little bitch!", etc. It has set a standard that men are really only allowed to have two passes on an emotional level with being stoic or angry.

A man who cries is deemed as weak, not respectable or to be taken seriously by others. You get punished via disrespect and isolation.

Diodoro · Answer

There's this odd behavior some girls have where they facilitate an environment for a guy to slowly weaken himself overtime, making himself a less appealing option.

To the point he is no longer attracted to him and ends up wanting another man who didn't let her corrupt his masculinity. That aside

No man is judged simply for crying. He's judged
based on what he is crying about. If somebody dies in your family and you cry no one will perceive you as weak as a guy.

If someone teases you at work and you cry, then you're seeing is sensitive and weak by everyone around you guy and girl. Like you're a little animal that needs to be protected because you can't handle life.

I opened with my first statements on the subject, because the message is more important than just simply saying it's okay for a guy to cry.

Yes. It's okay for a guy to open up yes. But in most cases crying in a man is seen as weakness by all women around him aswell as men and he should avoid it for his own sake.

Because even if they don't give him s*** for it. Their view of him as a man will be shaped by him crying in front of them

Why do some people think men are weak if they cry?

Now I'll be waiting for someone to call me a member of feminism or a woman using a blue account.

OpenClose · Answer

From a man's standpoint, crying comes off as being broken by the weight you carry. So we picture a military general crying because things got stressful, so it looks like a detriment to his ability to carry out his duties.

I've been pleasantly surprised by women in my life who have talked about men crying, though. Like, they've generally said that it carries all this extra weight because it's more rare, or it's rare to see his vulnerable side. And honestly I find that heartwarming.

But also keep in mind men cry less in general. I've been enormously sad and wanted to cry, but couldn't. It's like the wiring is harder to trigger. Supposedly men actually cry more easily for positive feelings than negative ones. Maybe it has to do with hunting or something. Either way, all else being equal, men will still cry less. We just need to be a little more empathetic when they do.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Because they argue that crying is letting others dictate how you feel, and see that as a weakness.

However... it makes more sense that hiding or supressing instinctual emotional reactions to things that upset you, is a sign of weakness, because you are only hiding it because you are afraid about what people might think of you, thus you are letting those around you be in charge of your actions, and to me thats weak.

Basically, people who say crying makes you weak, are ignoring that being upset about something is self governed, no one's forcing you to feel upset, thats your own thing.

So not ever crying about anything, either means the person is a sociopath, and is therefor weak at surviving in social situations, or is a follower, and is therefor weak at self expression and leadership.

KingofCups · Answer

My father always said that decisions have to made with your head, and that you can't base your choices off of emotional feelings.

That's how it is. Men are just expected to be logical, rational, get shit done, earn money robots.

Meanwhile women are encouraged to explore their emotions and people are much more patient and caring towards a woman going through an emotional experience.

If man gets emotional he's told to such it up, stop being a little bitch, pick yourself up right away, and get back on the grind.

VanillaSalt · Answer

Men are a sign of strength. When the enemies at the gate… the sharks are circling… the family is suffering… men HAVE to be there. Women haven’t for all this time had to man the wall, fight the predator, and be the pillar.

There’s a reason a woman’s first instinct is to shield her child with her body while the man’s is to grab a weapon. It’s easy to forget this with today’s easy world.

I know what your thinking… “I have to struggle and suffer all the time. Life’s not easy.” Perspective. It used to be that voicing your opinion got you killed now you get defended for having the dumbest viewpoints. Women didn’t have tampons they just bled on themselves. Child birth had a mortality rate of like 30% for the mothers and 50% for the children. You woke at dawn plowed the fireld and worked (children included) until dusk went inside and slept to start over tomorrow. The idea of fun is something new to the last century.

Why have men had to be strong?

Lionman95 · Answer

It´s sounds dumb in such situations people react differently. If a guy is weak it requires the woman to be strong, if she´s not ready to be that way either things go badly.
The problem is that by terms of society guys are meant to be the strong ones no matter what.
The simple answer for your question because some people can´t handle such a situation.
Some women say they want their guys to be emotional near if it happens they realize it´s too much for them. The burden that keeps with it is too heavy.
Because guys being crying are in an emotional distress such situations are rarely to many people so instead of figuring out how to handle such a situation they call guys that cry weak/pussy/crybaby...

Well to be honest its mostly the friends that think he's a pussy for crying i dont mind when guys are emotional why hide how u really feel let it out am there for them when they cry mostly in a relashionship i like a man to show his emotions he's more of a man for showing them instead of hiding them just because men or friends say u pussy ure weak i like when the show it it shows you they love you in a relashionship to be honest the ones that hide are the pussys and have no emotions at all

serious · Answer

Well, in my opinion it is okay for men to cry but that should be an exception and not a regular thing.

Indeed if a man is emotional like a woman or keeps crying often then he will come off as weak and no woman will ever find such a man appealing. No woman will ever like such a man even as an acquaintance.

A woman tends to lose respect for a man if he is mentally weak, gets emotional easily and can moved to tears.

I am very sure of what I am saying.

Hence if a man is crying in an exceptional situation then it is okay but if it is a regular thing then it is highly unattractive to others, especially to a woman and will be seen as weak.

BluishGaze · Answer

Just so you'll know, men were not taught that crying is "weak" per se.

We were taught to *know when it is appropriate to cry.* Because men generally aspire to become leaders, providers, and to be self sacrificing. We believe maintaining a strong, confident demeanor in the face of disaster or even in the face of certain death will ensure those around us will feel some semblance of hope in our presence. That everything will be all right. We are taught to always try to look for hope when things seem hopeless, because if we don't, we'll succumb to our emotions and your emotions CAN cloud your reasoning.

Yes, it's OK for men to cry. Maybe there are some men out there that interpret "strength" to mean they should avoid crying *at all cost,* and perhaps that's why they respond with violence. THAT's weakness.

I still cry when I watch movies like The Lord of the Rings. I cry when I see something beautiful. Lol.

HighlyVolatile · Answer

I tend to think it's contextual and gender-neutral. If someone gets upset to the point of bawling their eyes out in front of everyone over something very small or throwing an epic tantrum, then I do think their thinking patterns might be counter-productive regardless of their gender. The tears or anger are just symptoms though as I see it; the root problem is being inclined to dwell on very negative and counter-productive thoughts.

On the flip side, if something truly traumatic happens, or if it's a very benign sort of crying like happy tears which aren't necessarily accompanied by very counter-productive thinking patterns, then I think it's very understandable and forgivable regardless of gender.

Shyguy206 · Answer

Because of societal expectations. If they saw a guy crying in front of them, they would start picking on him simply due to the fact that society views it as a weakness. I remember people were laughing and saying things like "ugly ass" or "weak mf" to will smith when he was crying over his ex wife cheating on him. I even heard that some would go overboard and send death threats to him (fucking death over a poor dude crying 😂). Whether that's true I dont even know. I personally just think crying is a normal human emotion. If i see one of my guy friends crying I would try and cheer him up.

KennethNoisewater · Answer

This is something that is in our DNA to push down as deep as it will go. Or at least it was that way. Not sure anymore. We are not suppose to have visable feelings. Physical pain is weakness leaving the body. You rub some dirt on it and walk it off. If you have that mindset, feelings are not suppose to be anywhere near the surface. It's confusing, to me at least, when I get emotional about anything. I don't know exactly what to do. My move is keep my head down. I quickly find an exit, if needed, and find anywhere to be alone. I try to get it out of me as quick as possible and push that shit down deep in hopes to never experience that again.

Ihatevegans · Answer

Well I mean it's hard not to... It's like saying. "If a girl likes action man and playing in mud... She's more boyish than most girls... Well yeah , that's true... She is more boyish.. n the same here... If s guy cries a lot and very emotional... He's more girly than most boys. That's jus true... I'm not saying men aren't allowed to.. if you want to cry go ahead... It's jus that.. typically... Men aren't very emotional and crying isn't something we ever feel the need to do... Unless the male in question is more emotional and girlie... In which case it's jus true that he's more girlie... I've never felt the need to cry since I was like 6

GlassTop · Answer

It depends on what they are crying about. Men are supposed to be the protector/provider. A crying man will be seen as incapable of doing those things, and instead needing to be protected/provided for themselves. A LOT of women find it unattractive if their man cry. Now if there is a death in the family or traumatic experience, thats ok. It just depends on why they are crying. But it should be a lot.

Anonymous · Answer

No you're not alone in thinking it's dumb. I totally agree with you guys have feelings too! We teach boys to be strong and tell them to "man up". It's as if society is saying "boys you have to be strong for girls " If a girl hits a boy he's expected to just take it and people think it's a joke. Sorry if I rambled on I just think when it comes to boys and girls boys don't get a fair chance.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Thanks for your question. I agree with you as a Male I cry easily and often worry about what people think. Like when my late Mom went in an ambulance I was crying and the paramedic said, sir don't cry, it's like how can't I cry some people have the nerve

Juan_Sheet · Answer

Pretty sure its because they have no soul. I have been know to shed a tear or two usually at the cinema when watching kids films with my own kids.

These kinds of movies know exactly what they are doing of course. Usually its a storyline such as in "Onward" when the sons lost their father years ago. They get a chance to bring him alive for 24 hours and things don't go quite as expected but then the movie turns the story around and we find out that one son has been like a father to the other. Well, what was I supposed to do? Mostly my kids just start pointing at me saying "Mum, he's crying again"...

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

Because those men are invariably fuckwits that have not really experienced much.

A guy coming back from a tour in Helmand, shedding tears at his daughters wedding.

other guys at various funerals or memorials raising glasses to absent friends.

Anyone saying guys don’t or it’s gay, hopefully they remember saying that if they are ever looking down at a loved one on life support.

dovendyret · Answer

Socialization.

Men are strong and protectors of the weak (women & children).
Women are soft, sensitive and supposed to be nurturing, caring.

- This is implemented deeply into our culture, our mindset and how we act and without realizing it: parents pass it on to their kids.

The past generations have made changes for us - now it's us that need to make changes for the next generation BUT we've to also remember that the next generation is going to have to make changes too.

fonduegirl · Answer

Because crying is said to be feminine and the greatest insult to a guy is being called a girl. Go figure. And the most people you're talking about, a lot women are accepting and feel it's only natural if guys cry... It's men mates who say "he cried like a little girl" like it's the funniest joke ever.

Anonymous · Answer

Testosterone and the size of our tear ducts makes it more difficult for us to cry. We are different to women so men that act in a similar way will be called out, just as they should be. I was in a situation where everyone was crying but someone had to hold everyone together. All of the women were crying... if the men were also crying what good would that have done? So yes, if I see a man crying in certain situations I am going to assume he is weak. We are less emotional by nature, and for a reason, just as women are more emotional for a reason.

genericname85 · Answer

the rules for men crying are still quite tight in society. like there's somewhat established events where it is absolutely ok to cry for a man and most men do actually cry and not feel bad crying in those situations. this is when your mom dies, or your dog or your own child. however outside of that, crying is a gray area. if you cry in the wrong situation, even your freaking wife can think of you as a bitch. and this is not "him feeling like a bitch" out of blace. this is litterally how men are still judged. you can go on and on about "it's ok to cry", when the reality proofs that it's not.

Heartache0405 · Answer

Men crying is both a negative and a positive thing. Depending on the situation and or circumstance he is in at the time of crying. If men shouldn’t cry god would have created them without the capability to do so. However, men should choose their moments of weakness accordingly and be wary of who they are around when doing so.

mddie · Answer

Well I am not sure, I personally don't think men are weak when they cry, I mean I like my man to be able to express his feelings and emotions with me, to always be able to share and be free when I am around cause I won't judge him, I would only think he is stronger and trusts me enough to know that he can always lean on my shoulders when he needs it and I won't be judgmental to it. Because he always will be the shoulder I lean on to when I need it and the chest I cry into when I can't take hold it anymore.

TheAfrikan · Answer

Crying to men is at a higher percentage seen as one being weak n that men do not cry. But I see nothing wrong if men do cry it is okay.
Because crying improves moo.
Crying can one way or another reduce on tension thus stepping up on the feelings of relief.
So men do not be scared incase you do feel like things are out of your hand n power.

Friendlybro79 · Answer

Because some people think crying is a sign of weakness. The answer is in your question.

If you mean why is a man crying a sign of weakness to some that's a different question. To that I'd say because traditionally and stereotypically a man showing emotion is not appropriate for his gender. Traditionally men are supposed to be strong on the outside and crying would be more of a feminine trait.

RawIronhide · Answer

No one said such things. The truth of the statement is that people perception of you changes when you decide to be publicly vulnerable. You'll be seen as less stable, less masculine and less able to protect others from emotional or phisical harm causing your perceived value to deflate in general and with women. This is at the core of that issue.

MickHardin · Answer

Crying makes you weak, it doesn't mean you are weak. Crying just uses up energy and makes your eyes bloodshot and gives you bags underneath along with all the slobbering. But sometimes it just comes on spontaneously. It is claimed that it does some good, but I don't see it. For women and children it can be highly useful though to get what they want. It doesn't work for men to do it so that's why it is useless.

Kiran_Yagami · Answer

Oh please, if women really didn't look down on men for expressing emotion, men would do it. Men trip over themselves every day of the week on what we can do make ourselves more appealing to women, and literally no one ever as has, "Oh, just cry in front of her!"
