Poll: "Real men don't cry" do you agree?

[ethaninja]

I think men should be able to cry whenever they want. All it is is a a physical (or is it chemical?) reaction that happens inside the body whenever a certain thought form is formed. However, if they cry at stupid things and aren't depressed, then that is just silly. But that also applies to women too.

No man in the world can say that they didn't cry like a ***** when they took one in the balls.

Anywho, everything has already been said, so no sense in repeating it.

It takes a real man to freely express his emotions. Repression is for pussys.

Totally aggre i have even cried during video games like the good ending of fallout 3 for example.

Really? People here think that crying is a response to emotional or physical pain? No, do not cry, suck it up. I have never cried about anything, ever. I have come close though, when being kicked in the balls, or when Dio died, or when Anikan turned to the dark side and killed all those little jedi kids (gut wrenching stuff). I guess one has to be almost entirely emotionally dead to be unable to cry. Man up.

"Emotionally immature men don't admit to crying", certainly.

 

[ffs-dontcare]

There's a difference between crying and sobbing. And even then, you generally shouldn't sob in public (apart from at funerals and such) unless you want to develop a certain kind of reputation. Just like you don't go around yelling and swearing in public. Show some tact, man! But standing there with a stoic expression as tears run down your face is all good. Just my opinion, though. Basically, tact. Tact is important.

That said, nothing should stop men from crying whenever they want. I haven't cried in months and yet I reckon it's a good way to vent your emotions in private.

Same goes to women. Obviously.

Anyone can cry whenever they bloody want. Crying is a way for a lot of people to grieve or vent their sadness. I cry.

I don't think that is true for anyone. If you are overdoing it, crying can be inappropriate, obnoxious, and annoying. But if it is in the right context, the person has a valid reason, or you are just having a break down there is nothing wrong with crying. I cry.

Id you're crying at a sad ending to a film. Then there's something wrong with you. Even if you're a woman it's still wrong.

If you're crying at your mothers funeral then that's normal.

What is wrong with empathy?

What... What makes a man, Mr. Lebowski?
Dude.
Huh?
I don't know, sir.
Is it... is it, being prepared to do the right thing? Whatever the price? Isn't that what makes a man?
Sure. That and a pair of testicles.
You're joking. But perhaps you're right.
Mind if I smoke a jay?
Bunny.
'Scuse me?
Bunny Lebowski... She is the light of my life. Are you surprised at my tears, sir?
Fuckin' A.
Strong men also cry... Strong men also cry.

possible exceptions death of someone close, being tortured/in pain and listening to music especially if its an emotional guitar solo

Those are man tears. Great big man tears.

 

[Dfskelleton]

Crying in pain or shame is the only really big things men shouldn't cry about, unless you've just had your leg torn off, which is a pretty good reason, but if his mom or someone close to him dies, that's reasonable.

"Chuck Norris's tears can cure cancer. Too bad he never cries."
I think I have proven my point.

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

Only pussies cry; Real men stand in the rain, and listen to VEEE-RAAAWK.

Everything I know about life, I learned from Vice Ciy.

 

[Death God]

A real man cries because he's so secure in his masculinity that he has nothing to be afraid of. That's what my grandma says at least and I believe that is true in many ways. Still doesn't mean that he cries at the drop of a hat either.

 

[Logic 0]

Real men do cry they cry MANLY TEARS OF MANLENESS!

I remember watching that episode. That was an emotional episode, that's for sure.
