Can grown men cry?

[Am4Real]

Can grown men cry too?

[D-Lish]

Can grown men cry too?

 

Of course they can.

((hugs))

[alphamale]

of course, it can be very liberating

[threebyfate]

Yes. They can and do.

[alphamale]

Yes. They can and do.

when my ma passed i cried for like two weeks. but only behind closed doors

[Feelin Frisky]

I can. I'm not a blubberer like the Speaker of the House, but I have my emotional moments.

[Confusedlove1]

I think it is safe to say men who don't cry are not fully grown.

You thought the world of your mom. ((hugs))

 

My husband cried when B. was born.

I got a little misty eyed today when my uniform/rag vendor of 25 years told me his wife of 38 years had recently passed. We shared our experiences as caregivers and commiserated over the losses. We also happen to have the same birthday so wished each other happy BD before parting ways. Men naturally cry. It's just socialized out of us at a young age. Myself, I remember getting beat on when expressing pain/hurt in that way, though my parents never attempted to limit or alter those natural expressions. Later, joy would be expressed that way as well. The key lesson is that being able to show emotion by crying has nothing to do with resolve, strength, or health. One can cry and have all of those. Just watch women for clear signs of it.

My H has cried over the loss of his mother, about almost losing me and about our family including our daughter.

 

My ex cried over the death of his grandfather.

 

Another one of my exes cried all the time (but I don't think he is a good example, he also would cry to get his way, not healthy).

[disbelieve]

Yes grown man do cry. Its tough

That particular ex cried once because he wanted to watch the new Pokemon episode and I wanted to watch a movie instead of a stupid cartoon. His reaction so weirded me out that I was fine with him watching the show, but the relationship didn't go that much further.

 

I doubt that you are crying over the same things.

[cdeyoung]

yep. i don't cry much at all, and when i do it's in a place where nobody can see me.

[alphamale]

indeed...crying for men should be kept at a minimum and only for special occasions

 

otherwise then you become a girl

[Fufu]

Crying is not a sin.

[loverboy1984]

I cried when I got something I worked hard for, such as being accepted into a school, passing a difficult test. I also cried when I was about to lose my parents, and most recently when my girlfriend who I love left me. So yes they can cry. And yes I am a grown man.

[HeavenOrHell]

Yes men cry, to me it's a sign of strength, not weakness, if they find it hard to cry but sometimes do. Men who keep everything in and pretend everything is ok don't do much for me.

[nana841121]

I don't see the huge difference between men and women.

There are various kinds of men, so are women.

some men are emotional and sensitive. like my ex.

I don't think he ever really loved me. But he also cried when i brought up the breakup

[collegeguy_24]

When my ex left me I cried. When my dog died, I cried. THere is no shame in crying, its natural and part of life and our biology. Ignore the stereotypes that say men don't cry, they are false.

[Chi townD]

HELL NO GROWN MEN DON'T CRY!!!!.....We get something stuck in our eyes.

[radiodarcy]

of course! i'm a grown woman who rarely ever cries -- or at least thought i rarely did before i got dumped.

 

i cried myself to sleep every night for weeks. and it felt GOOD. if anything - -crying made me feel stronger not weaker...
