Men aren't immune to their emotions...they've just been conditioned to not show them, so they've learnt to hide it or replace it with anger or some other form of emotive outlet. Either way...i don't like it when i see men cry over spilt milk....because that's my job!

Dimmit.

We were trained, "REAL MEN DON'T CRY" Might not be true, but THAT is how we were taught.

Very wise words for one of a mere 17rs of age.

Hmmmmm...

Be that as it may...i do prefer a man being able to outwardly keep it together when everything seems to be falling apart. It inspires me to stay strong too.

if that doesnt true, how do you show your emotions?

When a man has to cry, he does so in private, so as to not burden others with their troubles. Life is hard enough without people boo hooing all over the place.

I didn't cry at my wife's funeral, but I did plenty of crying when nobody else was around.

I don't have the desire to be the tough guy so emotions to me happen as they present themselves. If something moves me to the point of tears they happen without a thought to what someone might think. I have found that being a sensitive person suits me better than not. I have always thought the male ego thing is something that I'd like to curve as much as I can for myself.

Have you ever noticed that those who play the tough guy are many times also the guys who have anger issues and tend to be racists or put down others who don't measure up to their ideals. Just my observations.

guy above me hates my hair

It's true, but I'm not gonna cry about it.

I'd rather be with a man who felt comfortable enough to cry infront of me. The tough guy act is exactly that. An act. Booooooooooooooooooo.

Men were trained, "REAL MEN DON'T CRY" which is not correct, "REAL MEN KNOW HOW TO SHOW EMOTIONS." If a man hasn't learned to feel his emotions, he will usually have lots of baggage to bring into his relationships. And ladies you can't fix him...

After a good cry it is so much easier to sleep. I think it is more positive than just being sorry for myself.

I will cry when I have lost a loved one or something as devastating ... I Can't hold it back without looking like a sniveling snot nosed kid... So I let the tears flow. The sense of loss makes me ball, I just can't help it.

I shed tears of joy... Those too, I have no control over. People love seeing them... so I have no prob showing them lol


Crying over pain, hopelessness and despair is not part of my genetics.

I do not think it has much or anything to do with ego or anything like that..the various circumstances,ordeals men go through putting two and two,to keep family together,having to face and overcome terrible obstacles,etc....are some reasons men seem to be kind of immune to crying! But that does,nt mean men at times don't shed tears...personally,i have been through real painful periods that hurt way deep down,that took me days to get by,that made me kinda wailed somehow, but i did'nt cry, not because i did'nt want to,the tears did'nt just flow...all the same we all have tears moving emotions.

I cry when I masturbate....it basically means I gotta use two tissues...

Let me know if you need more wisdom.

i cry all the time i fall in love..idk why..omg :(

I think it depends on how a man is raised, and the time period in which he was raised. My father is 80...he is the most amazing man I know, but he's not "touchy".

My grandmother had ten children...she outlived two of them. When she died in 1999, my father (the oldest)performed the ceremony. None of my Uncles were crying...however, when my father stood in front of his brothers and cried over his mother's death...without trying to hide, or make excuses....it was like he had given the "green light" to all of my Uncles...they all broke down and cried. I don't think most of them had ever cried in public before...they had seen too much...lived through too much.

And believe me...it is unnerving to see men like that cry. They are rocks...it takes a strong force to break a rock.

If you want to see a man cry, then watch him as he reads his credit card bill after his wife has gone shopping.

Reading this makes me want to cry.

...But that doesn't matter since I'm not a man.

Thank God!
