You should meet me. I cry while listening to Umberto Giordano's "La Mamma Morta". and Paterna Mano (Verdi)...i have a long list of arias that kill me lol
i'm such a classical music geek

But no it's not a bad thing to cry every now and then. If he cries every other day, he's got issues he needs to sort out. Otherwise, well, whatever.

It's totally cool with me, If a dude feels like crying, then let him just give him some space and don't laugh at him. Just be willing to understand his emotion but be a friend to talk things through. Until he is able to smile again and says Thank you. It's such a rare feeling.

When anyone of any gender cries it triggers the Molly Weasley response in me and I have to cuddle them in my boobs and stroke their hair, it's weird

but I don't care, express emotion in whatever way you want, regardless of gender.

Of course it's OK for men to cry -- should there even be a question about this?

I remember my former husband, who had a difficult childhood, used to cry to me quite often in the middle of the night. Those were the times I felt closest to him and loved him the most.

IMO what *isn't* cool is giving a rat's patoot if anyone thinks you're *not* cool by displaying honest emotion.

^ This song may be wiser than at first appears; it´s ok for boys to cry, but it´s best done discreetly.

nahhhhh

crying is apparently good for you.

I look like a spazz when I cry, so I don't ever do it, or at least I do it when no one is around, which isn't very often.

Cry if you want to cry, I don't give a ****. Frankly, I think shaming men for crying is counter-progressive. Feel how you feel. You're allowed.
