Title: Men Crying - is it non macho??
Post by: angell on July 19, 2009, 05:19:47 pm
The topic says it all

Some men cry naturally when they are touched - they're emotions  :'(  :'(

but some people say it is non -macho

some find it cute, others say its a major turn-off

so what about you guys, do you think crying men are non-macho? :D

The generilation of a man's somewhat ideal behavior is to blame as the cause of being why some men find it non-macho.

People have to rememba that men are also sensetive, they have feelings and they are human, its just human nature for someone to say that that dude is the odd one out cuz he cries. I dont think that is fair, some are born with more sensetive tear glands and some are just more sensetive.

I sometimes think that it is a good thing becasue crying is a way of letting out frustration, most men let it out using anger. So, it may even be a positive thing.

And being macho is not everything, a man does not have to be a body builder to be brave or courageous, rememba courage is often found in the most unusual places.

Today, it is more important to be intellegent or fit or skilled, not macho.
Thank you very much for bringing this in the spotlight.

Ok i dont like this thinking that Men  should cry *turn off*
Crying is a way in which u let go ir speression after u cry u feeel moe relifed n better.
Men at the end r Humans just bcuz they r MUSCULAR strong doesnt mean then r emotionally strong
they get hurt n weak too at times too=]
Being strong emotionally is not the only wau u can be called Non macho
its wierd how we fail to analysise thinggs 4 a narrow prospective not a boreder n Open minded ,
Angel really good topic indeed

macho? lol whats that :P

i think i get what u mean .. sure men have feelings .. but i think they prefer not to cry .. and if they do cry .. it's done privately  :P

girls however .. watch a romantic movie and cry, see a puppy and cry, break-up with boy friends and cry .. WHY do u cry so much ??!! :P

Crying is something very normal
Like seriously, for example.. you're a father, your son just died.. You're gonna stand there all normal ? You're obviously gonna cry unless you're one cold hearted human :)

So I think it's very normal
my opinion ofcourse.. differs from what others think :P

I would like it if guys openly cried actaully....cause they generally supress their feeling and expect others to know...
It is definitely not a turn off....

well first we need to seperate simple spontaneous crying from the shoutout sissy crying.
Personally, I see the former as a primary sign of manhoodness - or as u say, macho -
As for the freaking juvenile loud crying, well not only does it degrades a man (and personally i think it degrades females too) but it just means you as mature as an infant

haha those girls are the real "dolls" (no offense to any1)
but theyre not tough at all. not all girls like crying, usually if a girl cries (especially after a break up) it means that they really are hurt.

Post by: SoONa on May 24, 2010, 07:53:12 pm
it reallie depends .. theres a limit 2 everything ..
if a man cries more than i do than thats a major turn offf lol cuz i think i cry enough 4 the both of usss but that doesnt meean that when he reallie needs 2 shed a tear he holds it in cuz its not machoo its the same as supressing anger or joy .. its comes bouncing back at u after a whileee its implications psychologically are bad for a man or a woman to supress any emotion ... and personally i think men crying 4 meaningful reasons is cuteee it means he has a heart in there somwhere  ;D

oooh nice topic
i personally dont mind men who cry
it shows that they do not let their pride get in the way of how they feel
it shows that they do not have an enlarged ego that they are afraid too cry in public cause it might destroy there reputation
showin emotions is a way by which ppl can show that they truly understand each other and really care for each other
but ofcourse they shudnt be an emotional wreck
just cry less the me
which is not much ;)

Did you all see Gordon Brown crying on a chatshow? When asked about the death of his daughter. I think he did it for the sympathy. He is a proven liar.
