COMMENTS:
A punch to the nose or a swift kick to the nuggets can bring a tear to the eye even if one tries not to.
It breaks my heart to see a man cry. I think losing someone is certainly reason enough for anyone to cry.
I admit, I hardly ever cry -- it seems like once a year is my average anymore. The stigma is a part of it, without a doubt. I couldn't help myself last time -- I lost a job I really liked, in a surprising and unrespectable fashion, and when I got home I bawled into my mother's arms.
In my opinion it is perfectly accetable for a man to cry for what ever reason. Far from being embarrased, if a man were to cry in my company i would give him a big hug and lots of support be that in private or in public. There are times in our lives when we all feel the need to cry to get it out of our system, male or female. A man who doesnt cry is a man void of feelings, its a perfectly natural thing to do.
Man, woman, we're all human. When is it acceptable? Who the hell cares if some tightwad can't accept it. People have complex emotions, what's so unacceptable about showing mortality?
It depends why they are crying. I can understand if a guy cries due to losing a loved one or something. I think it is unacceptable for a guy to cry due to an injury (unless it's really bad). I don't think I've cried since I was 11. I've tried to cry but I just can't do it so I guess that means I have no feelings. Maybe I should just be thankful I haven't experienced anything painful enough to make me cry.
Oh yeah, C-tuck, you're a pussy! Hahahahaha! Just joking. :-D
And I'm trying to say I don't have any respect for guys that cry. I just hate people that cry over any little thing. That goes for male and female. I've known grown (and semi-grown) women that seem to cry over anything and everything. Crying isn't always a way of expressing emotion. Sometimes it's just a cheap way to get attention. I think when an adult cries more than any little kid it's a sure sign of emotional immaturity and it's pretty damn sickening.
I'm *NOT* trying to say.^
If you cant cry then your fucked if i though i had to hide it then i`d feel less of man! and to robotthinker I doubt id be crying chances are i`d be too busy ripping theyre heads off! possibly go for some sympathy afterwards! strange thing tho if a man cried in front of me after he started a fight i think id hit him harder! sigh. men eh?
its not sickening to be emotionaly insecure deck! its not immaturity! if it makes you sick then perhaps its because you feel vulnerable around people like that and its your own insecurity making you feel that way! I personaly think that thisisnate is really brave tackling this issue on a live site its clear to me, and i may be wrong, that this is a really personal issue for him. I feel that not being able to cry is a sure sign of emotional bankrupcy and that perhaps the person with more stability is the person who cries to release the feelings rather than a person who hides it because it makes them more of a man! I agree with cherri but its more complicated when your male and that in itself should give the clue! an example is this. when a woman ends a relationship some men cry. a lot of women will find this disgusting and no woman can tell me this isnt true becuase probably by this point you hate them and this leads to more insecurities on the male part. im gonna stick my neck out here but i think thats what this whole debate is about!
I dont see anything wrong with a man crying! I think that people who do have some sort of fear themselves of being seen like that! So any of you guys who do feel the need for a cry you can always have my shoulder :)
meant i think people who see something wrong with a man in tears.
Thanks for your contributions so far. I enjoy all a ya'll and your differing perspectives. There's always the sensitive sensible female, the loud macho guy, the rational ones, the one who turns everything into a joke, and usually the Bush bashers. You guys can put yourselves in whatever category you want. :P
And I just noticed that my comment registered as Dec. 20th and it's only 11:00 PM here. This helps me narrow my search for LCD's house. LOL Just kidding...
Get some reading comprehension skills, mobsie! I don't think I'm emotionally bankrupt (seriously in debt maybe, but not bankrupt). I'm sure I could cry if I experienced a serious enough emotional trauma. I don't try to hide my feelings in order to feel like I man. I just don't cry - it's a simple as that. Don't try to project your fucked up insecurities onto me.
Reading comprehensoin skills? Says the guy who says "I don't try to hide my feelings in order to feel like I man" Hmm well perhaps you just type what you think without checking the spelling like i do! As for fucked up insecurities i think you`ll find that it`s you thats taking this personaly! I`m assuming you`re deck (isn`t that odd) I have a feeling the emotional trauma has already happened You just haven`t dealt with it yet and You have My sympathy! As for me being insecure well think again! I have no doubts about who I am nor what I am capable of. but if it makes you happy to feel that way then I guess it`s better than You crying about it! Oh sorry You dont do that i forgot You just inflict Your misery on people that are already upset! Nice one!
What the fuck are you talking about? I don't inflict my misery on people who are already upset. You tried to insinuate that men who don't cry must be hiding their feelings. I don't think that's true. There are other ways to express your emotions other than crying. I was trying to make a point about people who cry too much. Sorry if I don't cry just because I stub my toe or burn my toast! And of course I'm Deck. Anyone who visited either of my user pages before I got suspended (completely through no fault of my own) could easily see that. I only registered under Inspectah_Deck because DirtDog seems to be (unfairly) on permanent probation and I wanted to make ballots.
And by the way, I'm glad I have your sympathy; It just makes me feel all warm and gooey inside to know that you care.
CATEGORIZATION 101:
*Bush basher - C-tuck
*One who turns everything into a joke - Robotthinker
*Rational ones - Tadema, Kisty, Deck
*Macho guy - Minni_the_Minx
*Sensitive female - Mobsie666
Have I got it right?
:-D
I knew this was your ballot Nate.
It's okay when you lose a loved one or when a tragedy happens. Yeah that's right, I cried on 9/11 for all the families that lost someone.
A man who is confident in his masculinity.

I said cant cry. not dont cry! Did you cry when you were on probation?
I added "depends on the situation" to the options.
On it's own, a man crying is okay; perfectly natural, supressing our emotions doesn't help. But there are times when letting oneself go like that will be distinctly detrimental to ones life. A swift kick to the groin, for example, often occurs during a fight. Bursting into tears wouldn't help much, so in that situation I wouldn't recommend crying. Being strong-willed enough to control our emotions WHEN NECESSARY is the key.
you get kicked in the nadgers, you get out of the fight as soon as possible, and as soon as your safe again cry to your heart's content.
