DEEDEE72 View Profile History	CRY ME A RIVER? Posted : 30 Sep, 2010 04:27 PM Ladies, How do you feel about a man who cries? Does that make him more in touch with his feminine side (do we want men to have a feminine side)? Does it make him more masculine? What about when he cries while worshipping in church? Can a man cry to much or too little? Gents please feel to chime in... Post Reply
View Profile History	CRY ME A RIVER? Posted : 1 Oct, 2010 07:08 PM I think it's great for a man to cry when he feels moved to as long as it isn't something really unimportant... But it still startles me every time I see a man cry. I guess I get so used to men being either quiet or putting up a tough front or genuinely being tough, that when a man makes tears I kind of get into a confused panic of what I can do to stop it. Maybe it's something I'll adjust to eventually... Post Reply
Tulip89 View Profile History	CRY ME A RIVER? Posted : 1 Oct, 2010 08:18 PM Jesus is recorded to have cried twice in the bible. It would appear that he was also moved to tears during intense prayer as well. Therefore we have established that it is Christ-like in some cases for men to cry. That said, if you aren't about to be crucified, no one has died, or you aren't in deep prayer/worship, it's probably better to keep it to yourself. Post Reply

ashyah View Profile History	CRY ME A RIVER? Posted : 2 Oct, 2010 08:58 AM There is nothing wrong with a man crying. I remember the old saying men don't cry.They certainly do. God bless you. And, go ahead and cry don't worry about it. Post Reply
springrose10 View Profile History	CRY ME A RIVER? Posted : 2 Oct, 2010 12:14 PM I agree with SOS. Though I don't like whining or self-pity, I fear a man who does not cry. He is a man without emotion. He is a dangerous man. Post Reply

View Profile History	CRY ME A RIVER? Posted : 3 Oct, 2010 02:06 AM I agree with what Siylii said. I think it would be great to be with a guy who could be that vulnerable with me and who feels safe and comfortable expressing himself in that way. But it would weird me out a little at the same time... wouldn't quite know what to do. But I'd get used to it, I'm sure. Post Reply

cowgirl1984 View Profile History	CRY ME A RIVER? Posted : 7 Oct, 2010 05:43 PM I agree with SOS that crying is an emotion, not a characteristic. It is unhealthy to bury emotion. If you're crying all the time, men or women either one, then there may be a deeper issue that you need help with. But just crying isn't a bad thing. In response to Godslamb's list: Possible wrong reasons: "He dropped his cell phone, the battery popped out and the screen shattered" It depends really. I mean, I would probably cry. The mad/angry kind though. I cried when I dropped my brand new cell phone in a glass of iced tea and permanently ruined it. I was soooo mad. Just one of those things. But I had a right to cry. "I beat him at a game of monopoly (hey - it could happen!)" Okay, I admit this is probably a bad reason to cry, and I wouldn't (well, I did as a kid I'm sure). But I am extremely competitive and a sore loser, so I'm not sure I could hold it against someone for crying about that. "His favorite team lost the playoffs" I disagree 100%. This is a very fair reason to cry. The playoffs in any sport are a big deal. Very cry-worthy. "His boss said something to him that was very unfair and hurt his feelings." I agree to an extent, but if it's something that happens constantly and his job is miserable and it builds up and builds up, eventually he has to let it out somehow. Better to have a guy who cries about it than a guy who beats his wife over it. "Someone cut him off in traffic." Yes, I very much agree, hahaha "He got a paper cut ." Dude. Paper cuts hurt. hahaha. But, I know what you're saying :) I think what it comes down to is two things. 1) You have to consider the TYPE of crying. How you cry determines whether you're a "crybaby" or if it's real, justifiable crying. 2) Do we ever really know what's going on with someone else? Maybe they have had some very bad things happen that week and they've been holding it in, then they stub their toe and it just comes out. It's kind of like ('scuze me if this is "gross") how if your body is EXTREMELY tensed up and then something causes it to relax instantly, there have been people who have wet their pants when that happens. A sudden change in your body causes uncontrollable reactions, whether to a small degree or a large degree. Whether it's wetting pants (apparently the word and all conjugations of the act of relieving one's bladder are censored) or crying or whatever else, we don't always have control over our body's functions.
