Isn't it so weak & pathetic when MEN cry?

Question

Because of small things like breakup with women LOL

No, it's not weak and pathetic if a guy cries (on occasion) to show his emotions. For example, if someone were to die in your family, I don't find it unmanly to shed a tear or two.

However, I don't think men should cry if they get hit and hurt themselves. If you fall down and bruise yourself, you should not cry about it... that's honestly not what a respectable man does in my mind. Also, these emotional situations causing you to cry shouldn't be happening all the time. If you have so much drama in your life that you're crying on a regular basis, something is wrong with you. Nobody likes a chronic crier.

Crying every once in a while though isn't pathetic.

A breakup with a woman may or may not be small. I can consider it weak if a guy is crying over something that is actually small. But some relationships that are years long are actually something I think crying over. A year 2 relationship where the couples were best buddies is very sentimental. Telling a guy not to cry over it can cause other issues down the road like deep depression. If it was 1 date where the guy was just way too worked up over it I would say "get over it" but if it were a real relationship like described before then yes I think it's legitimate to cry over.

Nothing wrong with a man crying, at all. I saw my dad crying a couple of times and my SO cried once a couple of years ago when he had to go back home for 6 months, and I couldn't go with him.

I think it's pretty pathetic to tell men that it's inappropriate for them to cry. Seriously. People need to be in touch with their emotions and if they're not, there's something wrong with them.

That's like saying it's weak and pathetic when ducks quack. It's human nature for people to cry. Just because the media and society have made gender based divides, it doesn't mean it applies to everyone or anyone for that matter. You're ignorant for thinking otherwise.

I think its bad when they don't. Its bad for you to hold all your emotions in. And it is wrong to expect guys not to cry just because they're supposed to be all macho. Men are people too! Let them cry if they feel the need to :) Better than holding it all in.

lumos · Accepted Answer

No. But you're weak and pathetic for thinking that.

Diego9O · Answer

Because of small things like breakup with women?*

We are human beings not robots. The only thing that difference us from women's in that aspect is that we cry in loneliness, in most cases. Why not in public? Because socially we aren't t aloud to express our feelings so open as women´s do.

“Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before--more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle.”
― Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

ThisDudeHere · Answer

Define a small thing. To say that men shouldn't cry over breakups is to say that they do not or can not invest any emotions in a relationship meaning that - like a relationship is just about having a girl and getting sex because 'fuck feelings are for pussies.'

Do not further the wrong social expectation of men being emotionless rocks.

Souma95 · Answer

No it's really not actually... the weak ones are the ones that think that they need to act all rough and tough and emotionless.

xkellier94x · Answer

No its not weak or pathetic. Men have feelings and emotions just the same as women but out of fear of criticism they don't most of them. It bugs me when guys get shit for being emotional, like they are human too they need to vent their problems and if crying helps, so be it.

Sbsbdicjf · Answer

Nope.

You see, as a human being, I'm capable of feeling and I'm quite in touch with my emotions.

To deny this would be like saying, "I'm not human." To call it "weak and pathetic" is like saying, "I'm above humanity."

That said, the answer to your question (no matter how you rationalize it) would be a very vapid thing to believe and absolutely preposterous to even utter.

latina28 · Answer

It is not weak or pathetic for men to cry. It would be very hypocritical to say that because women cry too. Everyone has emotions but people express them differently. I have much respect for men whom show their emotions in a society where it's condemned for them to do so.

confused1966 · Answer

No I don't think it's pathetic-I think it's a better man who actually cries instead of hitting a woman when they are frustrated or angry.

ljx34c · Answer

Meh I cried my eyes out when I broke up with my ex.. you have to be a real pussy to actually care what people think about you especially when something really bad has happened to you, so the only thing trying to not cry is doing is making you look insecure.

Anonymous · Answer

No. It's one thing if a guy is like.. literally crying over spilled milk. But... I actually always feel a "crushing" feeling in my chest whenever I see a guy cry. I think it's because I'm not as used to seeing men cry, so when they do, it makes me sad. I think it's actually sweet though sometimes.

Mesonfielde · Answer

It's far more weak and pathetic that some people try to gain their sense of superiority from putting others down for natural displays of emotional expression.

aamy811 · Answer

I love it when guys cry. I think it's normal and healthy. I also think it's important to stay sane. Also it's nice to know that the guy is comfortable enough to let his emotional wall down

harakiri · Answer

well. i feel pathetic when i cry. so i wouldn't be surprised if men also felt pathetic. but that doesn't mean the act itself is pathetic. what is crying anyways? just some salty water spilling over. who gives a fuck.

milkeuti · Answer

Nooo, men can cry too. It's nice that they will be able to let out their emotions.

Ihav2fart · Answer

Hopefuldreamer8 · Answer

There's nothing wrong with it. You likely have and you're just trolling right now anyway. You know there is nothing wrong with it, but you're trying to get a rise out of people.

Jonny_ · Answer

Well no, there is nothing weak about having an emotion over something... bet i'd have more balls than guys who think they're macho as fuck when really they're a bunch of fannies.

itsme_goodsamaritan · Answer

That's what weak and fake men think.

Kinstrome · Answer

Nope. Guys have to express emotions too, if they don't want to end up with problems. Men do tend to cry less than women, but that doesn't mean it's bad for them to ever cry.

Donimyc · Answer

It takes strength to cry in tough situations and strength to not cry in front of others. Emotional and physical strength are two different subjects

thatcomplicatedgirl · Answer

No. Heart breaks are terrible for both guys and girls. Tears are made to be shed, lol.

Your_boss · Answer

No it isn't. When my ex called me crying after I broke up with him, I felt bad but then I laughed

Anonymous · Answer

Do you know what's pathetic? Guys putting down other guys because they're scared about their own lack of masculinity. A guy crying is not pathetic it is reaction of an emotion.

Tokana · Answer

If it small than Yes, but I have cried for major things. Like being kicked out and betrayed, and witnessing extreme poverty.
