I think that's the beauty of this thread (if it had one at all).
The question is...is it cool for guys to cry?
The answer was obviously, always going to be subjective.
The fact that the question was raised at all, reflects the changing attitudes to mans role in the world (or rather England, as that's my only experience) and the way he's perceived.

I suspect if that same question was asked say 20 years ago, the response would have been emphatically negative.

My attitude toward my son and the way he expresses his emotions, is radically different to that of my Fathers attitude toward me.
A time when crying earned you a smack around the head and "something to cry for".

Crying is not cool.

Isn't that the question? I mean tears happen, but when the do...Not cool.

You cry = you ***. You *** = you die. Clear enough.







Yes, that WAS indeed sarcastic.

To me a girl crying and a boy crying is not really different. We all have emotions.

tears and crying are slightly different.....tears can come from pain, cutting an onion , doesn't necessarily mean you were crying

I've never been smacked for crying and yet I've cried maybe twice in my adult life...some people are just not easily moved...:\

Guys Crying
 
If a guy is crying because he thinks hes losing you, that should be a sign that he really loves you and cares about you. I know my boyfriend is a really tough guy but when its just us two and he shows emotion, crying, that means so much to me. Ya its annoying at times but thinking back on it, it really shows that he cares about me. Unlike other guys I've been with.

there's ways around that.....you can cut the first slice then run it under water and it won't be so bad or I've even heard drinking milk first helps but I haven't tried that yet.
