what is your opinion about men crying?

Question

what do you feel and think when you see a men crying,and what if he is crying with womens around him.

Answer 1

I think it's beautiful when a man cries. When a man is willing to be sensitive and show his vulnerability. It melts my heart. It's very rare. Most men won't show their emotions this way. They're too afraid of seeming weak. They hide their feelings behind a tough veneer. Many of them don't seem like they feel anything. It's frustrating.

I only knew one man in my life who was extremely sensitive. He cried often. He had a lot of tragedy in his life (losing both his parents etc). He was a very artistic soul. He loved nature. He would cry if something was beautiful (like the sunrise in Algonquin). He was an extraordinary person. I adored him. Unfortunately he hated himself. He always felt like he was weak. He hated his emotions. He tried to drown them with alcohol. He was an alcoholic & ended up dying in a drinking binge. It was a tragedy we all saw coming but no one could save him from himself. He turned to alcohol to numb the pain & sorrow of life. If only he could have seen what a remarkable person he was & how beautiful life could be...

Crying is a great release. I cry in sorrow & I weep for joy. I can't imagine if I had to hold it in or wasn't "allowed" to do it.

If only men could be in tune with their feelings without feeling like less of a man. If only a man could be both strong & sensitive. Could allow himself to cry but not see it as a fault & hate himself for it. Perhaps some can, but they're the exception not the rule. I am glad that I'm a woman & allowed to feel my feelings.

I blame socialization. When they're hurt, sad, scared, often little girls are told "there there it's ok." They are protected & coddled when they cry. Little boys are told not to cry, to toughen up & deal with it. They grow into men who won't dare show their feelings.

Answer 2

I personally think that men should be able to cry, I mean they have feelings too, don't they?? I can't stand guys that say, "Your a sissy", when you cry, that only shows how much they care about what other ppl think and have no feelings. I remember when my dad cried in front of me for the first time because my baby brother got hurt reall bad, that made me realize that REAL men do cry, no matter the age...

Answer 3

If a guy cries over each and every little factor like a infant i will think of he's a wuss. comparable with a woman i will think of she is a crybaby if she's crying over something tiny yet maximum women folk everybody is comfortable (i'm comfortable each and every each and every now and then...specific era of the month LOL). i think of adult males that may prepare some emotion or the comfortable ingredient of them is great...it shows that they are no longer in elementary terms annoying, macho, and all puzzling. a guy that may cry over heartbreak, death, failing at something they have labored puzzling for, etc. shows me character and that they actually do have some coronary heart. I mean there are exceptions, some people can no longer cry (yet this is an exceedingly small share). I even have never ever considered my boyfriend cry till we merely approximately broke up...i presumed he does no longer care if we did...that made me unhappy and additionally made me think of "Oh crap, I made him cry, he never cries...must be a great deal." That replace into the only time I observed him cry in the 5 years I knew him.

Answer 4

I once read somewhere that women cry more than men because we are more emotionally attuned, and therefore are more conscious of the depth of the sadness and the happiness in the world- that is why we're more deeply touched by things.

I don't know whether or not that's true, but I don't think any less of a man for crying sometimes. I think it's immature if someone is crying for a stupid reason (like because they don't get their way), but that is stupid whether it's a woman or a man. Conversely, I actually think less of a man who says he never cries, because he's either lying or very hard-hearted. I don't cry much myself, but everyone has to do it once in a while.

Answer 5

I cried like a baby when my dog died. I cried when my Grandpa died. Tears came down my face when I watched "The Notebook", "Before Sunset", and other movies that I don't recall the names of. I cried when I cared for someone and had the feeling they didn't care for me. I don't think crying has anything to do with men or women. Society teaches us that females are allowed to be emotional, and males are supposed to be strong.

Most men probably cry when nobody is around, and most wouldn't admit it.

Answer 6

Though it is said that men should not cry specially not in front of women, I feel that men should be given an outlet to let go of their pent up emotions. They will otherwise resort to drinks and smoking which is worse than being caught crying in public.

Crying is a human emotion, so men crying should not be such a big deal !

Answer 7

Men who don't ever cry are totally out of touch with their own feelings. Ultimately that explains why men's life expectancy is shorter than women's. Women are for more expressive emotionally. It isn't only the crying but all the emotions that are being repressed. Repression of emotions is a major cause of disease and illness. Proper expression is the cure.

Answer 8

There is a societal delusion that more or less states that it is inappropriate for men to show emotions, especially crying. In my experience, crying can be a cleansing of sorts, and can also be an expression of being deeply touched by something. i do a good deal of public speaking and there is a particularly poignant part of my presentation where i become very emotionally moved due to the fact that i had a deeply impactive spiritual awakening that moved me to the depth of my soul; and every time i share about it i still show this emotional intimacy because i am unable to stop it, and , to be honest, i DON'T want to stop it. It is a part of what makes me the man i have become and i will not deny any part of me.And i am not particular who i show this tender side of myself to either. Besides, i am 5'10" and weigh 250, so i don't get many people who say anything derrogatory about it, and if they do, it's their own shortcoming to deny part of who they are.

Answer 9

I cry when I try to resist expressing my emotion.
I know I need to work on that one, so thanks for asking.
I am a happy man, but sometimes if I ascribe an emotion to some stuff in my past which was negative, I mechanically attach a negative meaning to the emotion (with my mind) and then the mind thinks it is in pain. It seems that I am programmed from my past to make these wrong connections.
It will be great when I learn to re-focus faster. Soon I hope.

Answer 10

It may look odd when we see a man crying. But crying is good for health. It relieves the sorrow and tension in built and freshens up. If he is crying with women around him, even then it is personal to him.
