Answer 1

Several times, more in the past six months than my entire life really. Sometimes it just won't let go of you I suppose.
-NmD!

Answer 2

There is a lot of speculation and debates about men crying and all that jazz. It was only by doing research for this article did I find out that there were men who cried when they watched movies like Gladiator and Lion King! But on a serious note, men do cry and unlike women, and yeah, they do cry for 'real' reasons.

The idea of men crying may be look like a total turn off for most women. Yes, no sane woman could really appreciate her man crying for every reason she cries. However, here comes the stereotyped notion of women like me who can't stand the thought that men cry at the drop of the hat. Society has forced a deep impact in influencing the gender roles played by men and women. Girls are allowed to cry but boys are restricted from revealing their emotions. In most western cultures, it is more socially acceptable for women to cry in public than men, but this is certainly not true for all human cultures.

According to a study , British men are abandoning their stiff upper lips but still do not wear their hearts on their sleeves like Americans. In a conducted poll of 2,000 people, very few people in their forties or fifties had seen their father cry.

Most men have cry but away from the public view. Men feel that like picking one's nose in private, crying is also an extremely personal affair. Men in general have cried at the loss of a loved one, leaving your loved ones and moving to a different country, loss of job & the death of a loved one . Like the certain inevitable truths in life, the reasons for shedding a tear are justified and it no longer remains a taboo if a guy cries for the right reasons in public.

Answer 4

Basically there is no different btw men and women....human being do have emotional feelings and vulnerability sides....if things turn up real bad would really drive a men to tears....nothing's wrong to express especially in their private.
