Do some women think that if a man cries, or expresses his emotions, that he is weak and unattractive?

Answer 1

the bible says God knows all our tears
a man who cannot cry is a man who cannot love

Psalm 56

peace

Answer 2

Why should men be penalised for showing their emotions? Their human after all.. And don't women find it cute when they see a soft side to a man's heart? Its only unattractive if a man cries for having no popcorn to go with his football games and it would be annoying if he cries everyday for the most minimal matters... but hey I think its great where men express their emotions.. whats not to like about a man who is being honest and truthful to how he feels?

Answer 3

I personally believe that if a man cries or expresses his emotions, Hes comfortable with you. I never would see that as being weak or unattractive. Probably would be a turn on? lol

Answer 4

Do you have a problem with men crying? OK crying because you got hurt or someone pushed you around and you go and cry is embarrassing, but what if a loved one died in an accident? what if his child got very hurt? what if he lost his family? or lost his best friend and soul mate?
If a man can't express his feelings in any one of these then he is not human, he is a machine, and if he forces himself not to cry then he becomes less human.
Given the circumstances I think that a man can cry and not be weak because only the weak hide their emotions.

Answer 5

I am not a woman,but i do think this is a nature thing that man has weak times also,we are all human beings,we all need to release our emotion.
The man who can cry is a perfect man!

Answer 6

ummm from what i read... i learn something new! yeah! but here's the problem. MAJORITY, man are not too emotional. that includes crying. when we are provoked or whatever, MAJORITY goes to violence... well maybe too much wrestling for me but a fact is a fact.

if you girls find man cries and turns you on... its a fact (for girls)

if you see guys cant cry...i dont think he's afraid or whatever because i myself dont know why i dont cry either. i just go to silent mode and thats all.

my girlfriend.. (not in a relationship, just a friend) talk that thing about 2 days ago. she said 'yes! a man who cries is definitely a real man who is not afraid to show his feeling...'

i then said well majority really are not into the "crying thing" i did try to explain to her and before she said another word, i already know that she would say that "man are ego" so i butted in and say ' i know what you want to say and that is man are ego'

she was surprise and here is my explanation.

i myself really dont want to cry... its just not this is not the way i want to express it and i dont think its ego because i dont see why should i be going to ego about it

i read some books before.. forgot the title so dont ask anyhoo, the author stated that women are just expressive when it comes to feelings. they easily started burst into tears and cry when something no good happens while man are just not really into expressing their i mean, yes they express but they really dont cry. MAJORITY just goes to violent and othersi dont know and i believe i'm the one that goes to violent thing... comments?

oh yeah... the violent i'm pointing is physical violent. i do physical violent with guys ONLY. when girls provoke me, i just go silent and leave her.. any comments?

Answer 7

Some people think this, both men and women. It may not be the best situation, it may not even be realistic, but it is true.

Other people, however, believe differently. They believe that men as well as women are healthier and happier if they openly and honestly express their emotions, especially at appropriate times.

Western culture, often based upon the Way of the Soldier, has allowed males (but especially those of military service age) to suppress expressing their emotions as this can lead to tragic events on the battle field.

This concept has seeped into the culture and even help create the archetype of the "Strong Silent Man." This male concept may be more of a myth than a common reality. It can lead to the inability to express emotions and the psychological problems associated with this.

The "Sensitive Man" does not need to be a wimp, but just a humans with feelings.

Answer 8

Yes, a man who cries is weak and lacks strength.

(I personally don't think so, but the last time I cried in front of my wife, it disturbed her greatly and at a time when i needed support, i got none, because i was "weak".)

Answer 9

I think it's very important for men to be able to express their emotions, and if their emotions include the desire to cry, so be it. If I learned anything in therapy, it's that it's unhealthy to bottle them up, regardless of gender.

Answer 10

If he does it too often...yes. Either that or a brown noser.
My ex-husband used to cry ALL THE TIME, way more than me. He cried anytime anything went wrong, anytime we would have a fight he would cry. I got so sick of it because, for one thing, I felt more like a mother than a spouse and for another, he'd screw up, I'd get mad, he'd start bawling and then I'd feel like a big meany. Eventually I got sick of feeling like I never had a right to get upset when he'd do something seriously wrong - like spend the rent money on lego's. I also got the impression he was using it to control me, I have to admit the first time he cried I was surprised and strongly effected but eventually it lost its ability to make go "awww".

My current relationship of 3 happy years has been very different, my boyfriend cried once ... we had been dating for awhile and he had just told me he loved me and I had reciprocated and everything was going great.
Then a friend of his ex-wife's just happened to be in the same night club and also happened to be best friends with my best friend (total coincidence! unfortunate as it may be). So this friend of my friend's takes the opportunity to start whispering in my ear about how I look like an idiot with this guy, he's a jackass he's this and that. I ignored her until she got our mutual friend, who had been my best friend for 11 + years to start in as well.

My best friend knew this guy, she'd known him the entire time I'd been dating him and she had liked him until that night, all of a sudden she has a "bad feeling about him".

So my boyfriend and I left the club and went to find a 3am breakfast and he cried a little to tell me that he was sorry his past was putting so much stress on our relationship already, and on my personal life with my friends. He didn't get all boobery or sob, aside from a few welled tears in his eyes and one or two down the cheek you would have never known. He definately didn't make a scene and it didn't last very long. Just enough that I knew it was sincere and he was afraid of losing me the same night we'd said the 3 magic words to each other. That was 3 years ago ... they were wrong. He's awesome.

Answer 11

No, my husband is very manly and strong. But he has very real emotions. When he gets teary eyed during a sad movie, it makes me love him even more for the sensitive man that he is. I just want to ravish him then!
