Women, what is your reaction to a crying man... or Do real men cry?

Question

I think its only acceptable to cry for a man when your relative dies, your team loses in the final, or you are chopping onions... What do you think ladies?

Answer 1

OXYCODONE!!! GNU - Yeah daddy! That stuff will knock me out! Only took it once for tooth pain or back pain or something...

Men can cry - I think they should - it's therapeutic... I cried yesterday... and I feel much better today.

Answer 2

I think it's perfectly normal for a man to cry. Isn't it a little selfish to say that women can cry all they want for whatever reason, but a guy has to hold it in? I don't know about other girls, but when a man cries, my heart goes out to him, because I know he's probably got a really good reason (and yes, chopping onions counts!). It's also kinda sexy to see one or two tears rolling down a guys cheek, or to see one get 1/2 way down his face and he wipes it away hard with the back of his hand. (mmm...)

Answer 3

I am a 35 yr old hairy and dark and smelly Hindu man. I cry thinking about the human race sometimes.

I cry why it is futile and why the human beings are not becoming better people and love thy neighbor and all, despite the actions of great individuals like Jesus Christ, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, Larry King, Oprah, Julia Roberts etc. I don’t have any hope left for anybody better than these guys will come along and will make the people better in the future as well. We are all doomed and we will never become better people it seems.

I cry thinking such stuff when I am very drunk with whisky and when I have nothing else to think and when nobody is around.

Answer 4

I think women have a good reason to cry at least once a month. If I met a man that cried as much as me or my best friend, I would tell him it's time to come out of the closet. If it's a good reason to cry I would think it was attractive that he can express himself to me like that. YES, real men cry but not too often. lol, I think men drool over women more often than they cry.

Answer 5

I don't like seeing any adult just crying all the time, but a guy who cries because his team lost would turn me off a whole lot more than a guy who cried due to something like a very moving scene in a movie. The former would make me puke.

My husbands eyes well up now and then. I think it's sweet.

Answer 6

Real men cry..... unless they cry when their team loses in the finals that makes them boys.

Answer 7

lol my hubby never cried while passing his kidney stones nor from physical pain however when he got on a new medication that made him emotional he cried while watching anne of green gables. I almost peed my self laughing. He has cried at the birth of our children and when our oldest had her first major booboo, also we had a scare where our son almost died and after the problem was over then of course he bawled.
so for somethings real men cry, other things we know we need new meds. lol

Answer 8

In my opinion, I think there is nothing wrong with men crying. It is nice to see men showing there feelings and not just trying to act tough all the time. Keep on crying because it is a nice change for women. :-)

Answer 9

I think you are right on as far as men crying...but i think that I would put divorce in that too..because any man who has been in that position and has kids..will cry...you don't have kids or get married with the thought that you will visit your kids..that is messed up..at least while they are minors...when they are in college it is normal to visit your kids...

but yeah the USC Texas game sucked...there have been some other games that I have not been happy about either..

Answer 10

I absolutely love a guy who is comfortable expressing and feeling emotions. All the guys i have dated have cried in my presence at least once and I have to say, it is a huge turn on. I grew up in a macho environment where men believed in expressing anger (in the yelling, huffing and puffing kind of way) instead of saying I feel hurt; replacing intimidation and inciting fear in place of appearing vulnerable. I find that men who act inhuman ie i am not vulnerable, i cannot be hurt etc feel the need to hurt or incite fear in people around them to conceal their own vulnerability. When i meet men that are not comfortable with expressing their vulnerability or emotions, i run for the hills

Answer 11

I think it SHOULD be acceptable for men to cry over anything they want to cry about but unfortunately today in our society that is sadly not the case. It must suck for men to have to hide their emotions all the time. And the fact that they're not "allowed" to reach out to anyone for help worries me even more.
