      Or they're just a little bitch. Real men don't cry. I haven't cried since I was a kid. I don't cry. Hard shit in life happens? That's life. Get over it. Women and children cry. Not men.

    Some men are very hard to bring to tears. I am one of those. Didn't cry for about 15 years until I found out my wife was cheating and my marriage fell appart. There was nothing short of that where I even glot close to tears. I could feel extreme sadness, but no tears. Tears are not proof of emotions. It really a pretty useless physiological reaction. I mean really, what evolutionary purpose does it serve. "I'm sad, my body should automatically cleanse my eyes."

      @jojotheclown - When you cry tears of sadness (as opposed to tears of pain), the tears produced have stress hormones and certain chemicals in them. It's probably your body's way of reducing stress. I always feel physically exhausted after crying, but usually better emotionally.

    Men do cry, specially when the issue touches our dignity, we prefer to do that in private though

    I'm sick of this stereotype/ social rule that men aren't supposed to cry as it shows weakness. It doesn't. Crying is a natural human emotional and the majority of people of either gender participate in this activity.

  • I cry when it's pertinent. Women cry when it's emotional-happy, sad, bored, broken heel, bad hair day... Just because men don't break down everytime something happens doesn't mean they're not dealing with it. They just have other ways of expressing themselves. What surprises me is how these women, with all that crying, guess they've got it all figured out and men somehow are struggling because they don't weep on a whim!!

    when anybody holds in such an emotional response as crying, perhaps bcuz he feels that it would make him less of a man (or some similar bs), then emotionally it will manifest itself in worse ways, as it accumulates, such as anger, violence. it'd be a lot healthier to just cry!! c'mon dudes, ur less of a man if ur violent or an angry asshole with your family! just cry already!!!

    They do. A lot of guys are like me though in the sense that when there is some thing that they feel like crying about they just get pissed at the thing instead and go blow off steam by either calming down or taking a stick and beating a tree. Everyone just has different ways to cope.

    I promise on everything I haven't cried since I was a kid. If you're a man you can handle what gets thrown at you in life. I get disgusted when I see men cry.
