I only cried when I was younger.

Now, I'm made of steel.
Hm... complete opposite for me. The last year i somehow got a bit more sensitive in the "crying... i mean... getting wet eyes at movies" or such.

Well, a man can cry if he witnessed selfsacrifice (reasons of honor, passion and love), if he is subject to testicular trauma, or when he remembers his youth (or his old dog or something). Everything else "he" is most likely an disguised woman *g*.

At the end of Pay it Forward

Or when going through any significant loss (family member, friend, loved pet, etc)

I don't like to cry, it makes me feel like less of a man (I don't judge others for it!), but these are the only times I've let myself.

Crotch shot tops all in my book
Crotch shots work both ways. The guy who gets kicked in the crotch by some little girl who says he's not "mild mannered" is fine to cry. Same with anyone who sees such, it's just triggered for different reasons.

I'm fine with guys crying. They can cry whenever they feel like it, but I just wouldn't like them doing it all the time.

Then again, I don't like when anyone cries because they usually come to me for comfort, and I hate that.
*sniff sniff* can you comfort me pleease...?

haha, nah jokes don't worry :p

I do agree with you though, a man shouldn't have to hide his tears.

Anytime he feels the need. There isn't anything wrong with
being honest with your emotions, truthful with your pain, and
genuine in your joy.

I think it's okay for a guy to cry. Okay, I may not even believe that myself. There's nothing stopping you crying, but crying over trivial things would be a waste of moisture.

But I guess there are many points in schindler's list that could be sobworthy. And I wouldn't hold it against you for crying at the end of saving private ryan.

...so women need to stop crying

I agree with this. I love my wife a great deal, but if there is one thing she does that absolutely infuriates me, it's when she comes home and tells me she broke down and cried at work when someone confronted her/gave her a hard time about something.

Outside of my immediate family, i would say that there are 2 people on this earth that have seen me cry in my life. It drives me mad that she is not embarassed when she cries.

When we're having an argument, and the momentum shifts in my favour, she'll break down and cry and tell me "I can't believe i married someone so mean!"

No, i was just trained very well by my mother how to push your buttons to insure i win a fight :p

It's okay for a man to cry when he finds himself surviving a battle and at at his feet lie the broken bodies of the men he'd come to love as brothers to the uncaring whim of warfare.

That, or if someone smashes into your "midlife crisis" car or over-sized "phallic compensatory" truck.

Never ever cry when you're kicked in the berries, scream, barf, roll around, but don't cry. I assure you it will only make things worse for you.

But but but but! If a man cries whenever he wants to... he's not a man!

Anyway. The last time I cried was when my dog died. I loved you, you silly ginger sod.
