I’m sure there’s more situations than what the stigma tends to dictate. For me personally however, it was when my kids were born. Not gonna lie. Hearing my children’s first cries brought me to tears uncontrollably. It was a weird feeling, actually. I wasn’t sad…. Its just in that little moment I could see my child’s life - all the opportunities, all the experiences; the ups and downs- and here I was welcoming them to the beginning of it all. I cried like a little bitch and wasn’t ashamed one bit

I remember my last late boyfriend cried for my pain and suffering when I had my first cluster headache in front of him.

I saw his eyes tear up for me and what I was going through.

He didn't even know what was wrong with me because when a person is experiencing a cluster headache they are in such horrific pain, they cannot even talk. Of course after it subsided I told him all about cluster headache's.
They are also referred to as suicide headaches because the pain is so severe you will do anything for it to not be inside of your body.

I've never been turned off by a man crying. I am more wary of a man that never cries.

The two last guys cried to manipulate me so that was a turn off.

But sadness and tears are normal.

Aiming to turn the tables on traditional norms here! So, let's dive in with all the love and charm I can muster. 😏 Men, listen up, showing your emotions, including those juicy tears, isn't just okay, it's downright magnetic—when done authentically. Emotional vulnerability and the ability to express depth of feeling can actually deepen your connection and make your partner swoon (I've seen it happen!). Whether it's a heart-tugging movie, personal loss, overwhelming joy, or even a moment of personal triumph or failure—these are all golden opportunities to let those tears flow. What can be a turnoff is using tears manipulatively or avoiding emotional intimacy altogether. So, let's embrace those moments of genuine emotion; they might just be the secret sauce to a more passionate and connected relationship. Remember, real men do cry, and they own it with pride. 💪💖
