Do you think men can cry?

Question

I think men shouldn't cry. I think they should always be cool-headed. What do you think?

Ok... you say men "shouldn't cry"... that is your own opinion...
So that means we cannot/nor we are allowed to Show our Emotions...
We just have to be Stone cold...

If i have a wife and she gives birth to our baby that shouldn't have any "impact" on me because i'm a man, and i've just "done my job"...

If she drives a car and gets in a fatal accident, then i shouldn't cry because i have to be "strong for me", because it was "her fault" that she got involved in it...

If we are married and have around 10 years together, and a house and 2 children, and I invested time and passion, love and attention all these years and suddenly... phone face down, talks in the bathroom/shower, getting out of the house at 11pm coming back at 5am, and lastly condoms laying around... what should i do? Be stone cold?(because she just gave everything away?) What should i do? Smash her face with a glass?(from which i drink), or just pack her bags and let her go, and Start over even if i feel like in a thousand of pieces?

I let you Decide... if is better to show our emotions... or Not!

Real Men cry. Simple as that.

The toughest guys I've ever met, including two retired SAS officers, a Ranger and a SEAL were all guys not afraid to shed tears when appropriate. Grief and joy.

Strength isn't measured by physical ability. It's measured by being able to take the hit and move forwards anyway. I wasn't able to serve for health reasons, and my CO in the cadets said it was a shame as he'd recommended me for officer training in the RAF.

Caricature men - actually little boys who never matured - don't cry. They're also prone to being abusive and obnoxious towards anyone they think doesn't fit their behaviour as "alpha" males. Like Andrew Tate.

No. Men are humans, humans have emotions. Men have emotions, and I have no idea why society has built this perspective of men being tough, emotionally desensitized individuals who are so weak if they cry or display emotion. That is NOT healthy.

Everyone cries. Men can cry anytime they need to, and shouldn't feel like crud for expressing themselves and discussing their feelings with someone they trust. Same as women. If I feel sad and go to my boyfriend to comfort me, I would do the EXACT same thing for him. Comfort him, make him feel safe, assure him it's okay for him to share his emotions with me, and let him cry if he needs to. Crying is healthy.

yea, cos crying is human. it's not a specifically girl thing. besides funny enough crying used to manly before the victorian era
though its ok to cry, i think guys should be mindful of where and in front of who they cry becaues of how it's perceived.

I used to cry once in a while in private... dealing with shit women gave me as a kid... grown women with emotional manipulations. Eventually, the simple fact that it didn't do anything to make anything better slowly pushed me away from it. Public crying only equaled ridicule. Then age happened, and I just grew out of being able to cry. Everything has logical reasons and nobody really gives a fuck about me. Crying is pointless.

I do have a weakness still... empathy. Not all situations but sometimes I feel those emotions and I have to go take a bathroom break. "I gotta take a shit bad!" is the way I exit that situation. Maybe beat off to porn with my phone in the bathroom stall to get my mind off it.

This is a realistic picture of me when I don't beat off.

Well the Bible says a woman who doesn’t comfort her husband creates shaking knees. I think you would honestly make a horrible mother and wife you’re not nurturing and I don’t feel like you should waste a man’s time, and frankly your own time.

Look. We all have emotions that there is a time to deal with sometimes in the moment you need to power through it. But there should be a time to process. If you’re married to someone and you can’t express yourself in your own house you have a serious problem.

Are there people who take crying to the extreme? Sure. But people cry. If yiu can’t have a human connection with someone. Get some cats…. Trust me you’ll be there someday anyways.

Real men don’t give a shit what anyone thinks. If they want to cry they cry.

All the boys hold it in and think it’s tough not to and further bottling up mental incapabilities until one day they snap.

Seriously if you want to cry then cry. Nothing to be ashamed of. Anyone who judges has their own problems to deal with. 💯

b_lova · Answer

Cool headed means they would be angry so I can agree about not being angree.

Crying means they were hurt and expressing the emotion about that is good for everyone. Men that don't cry commit murder to express themselves and that's not good for anyone.

My dad cried when my mom divorced him after cheating on him and telling him to his face that she didn't love him anymore. This was also the same year my dad's dad, his best friend, my papa, died. And my dad chose to cry in front of me in my bedroom sitting on my bed. I was told he also cried while in his office at work which caught the attention of a lady he ended up dating but thankfully didn't marry.

Tamera952 · Answer

Well who cares what you think? What fucking world do you live in where half the population should be cool headed? Well on that note, why don’t you say everyone should be cool headed? (& what does that have to do with crying?)

I don't think men should cry either, if something bad happens to a man like getting hurt, being abused, losing a family member, etc, then men shouldn't fall to the floor and cry about it, they need to man up and move on with their life. I know it might be harsh but it's the truth, it's only ok if a woman cries because women are more emotional and in- tune with their emotions and they might not be as strong as men. So I think boys need to be taught not to cry so they can grow into strong, confident men.

sawno · Answer

We should be able to when appropriate, do you really want a cold hearted guy who will never show you proper emotion? Who is always on guard like your some kind of stranger?

To me a guy should show that he is strong enough and can be built upon, but that does mean showing emotions when it is safe to do so. Its all about the moment and circumstances.

JacobJordan · Answer

Men can cry and should though clearly they shouldn't around shallow trash that think they shouldn't. This is the same iq as asking "do you think women can talk? I don't think they should they should remain silent."

northerngal · Answer

I think everyone needs to be cool headed when its necessary... then let it all out after the crisis has passed and its appropriate. Its not a gender thing.

DishLady · Answer

Men cry for sure — anyone with tear ducts can cry. They’ve just been conditioned to “be strong” and hide their vulnerable sides so crying is associated with that.

Zenpanda · Answer

I think men should cry when they feel like it. I cry, through pain, sadness or happiness.  Because of music, video, movie or whatever. Sometimes even games.

Levin · Answer

Well, I guess the Cure told us.

Cry behind closed doors or w your bro. Never to a girl. It’s understandable if it’s your mom or dad, very close relative. But these days a lot of dudes cry over stupid shit.

theycallme_jd · Answer

Rage-bait? Good try. Anyway, I'm here just to say that I've lost the ability to cry freely, and I hate it. I feel like I can't express my emotions when I need, and I'm mostly a dead-looking emotionless person.

I cried a lot during Schindler's List. I cried at the end of Field of Dreams and Paths of Glory. I cried at my Father's funeral.

Staximus · Answer

So I wasn't supposed to cry when my mom and dad died? You have apathetic, insensitive, stupid, and unrealistic expectations of men.

LiamJHayden · Answer

So I should not have cried when my mom died? Or when my dad died? I do not think you've thought this through very thoroughly.

Yannae · Answer

I think I'd like to know your arguments as to why men should always be cool-headed.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

I disagree with you, but your opinion is of the majority. Men who openly cry are severely marginalized in western societies.
