We’ve been together for 3 years and I’ve never seen him cry... I didn’t think anything of it until my friend brought up how weird that was.
I think the last time I cried was around 10 years ago when a close relative died. I'm not cold or caloused or trying to be macho here. I'm just getting numb as I get older I think.
Thats messed up. Being emotional and/or crying is not be related to a person's sexual orientation.
He didn't say anything about his sexual orientation, he said something about his gender.
To be honest he is talking sense. No man wants to be known as that whiny, girly crybaby.
A man can cry, but only where he is alone, not seen by anoyone, going through hell and needs to get rid of some of the burdens.
The suicide rate is three times higher for men than it is for women because so many of them think showing their emotions and getting help is "unmanly". Let's stop spreading that harmful idea, please.
My girlfriend has never seen me cry either and we've been together for about 3 years. There was a time, when my life was an inferno of self hate, depression and really bad thoughts I almost acted on.
But I never let anyone see me in my worst. I used to sneak booze down into the garage when my girlfriend was asleep, drink, have a good cry, get angry, get depressed, drink more, get drunk and then go to bed.
During the day I pretended everything was good and I was in my prime, surging forwards.
No man wants to be known as that weak, pathetic crybaby. A man can cry... only when hidden away from everyone. We are not made of stone, but a man has to be tough, smart, caring and provide for his girl and the people he loves.
How would my girlfriend feel if I broke into tears? I'd look like some pathetic loser! I got way more dignity than that!
So I soldiered forwards.
Being more emotional or not depends for the most part on the person itself. But he might just think it's not right as a men to show his emotions. You probably shouldn't worry too much about it unless you realize he isn't fine with something.
Normal. It depends on the person, but it's even more common for men not to cry as much, to feel uncomfortable crying (showing weakness) in front of others, or both.
I, for one, am a female. I can't remember the last time I straight up cried in front of anyone, but it was probably years ago as a child.
I have a friend that is scared of showing off felings, and in the seven years we know, I only saw him cry once
Yea I wouldn't cry in front of the missus, I would hide that shit. I can't cry from physical pain though.
I dunno how weird it is. I think how it weird would, or wouldn't be depends on whether, or not he has experienced any significant trauma within the time you have known him.
The average amount of times a Male crys is around once a month. As a comparison females cry around 5 times a month. I havent cried in sadness I think 14 months.
I can't say how common it is, but I wouldn't be surprised if its normal. I don't cry for emotional reasons at all, haven't in years. Because of physical pain maybe a little more recently but never where my gf(if i had one) would see. Locker room stall after leg day haha.
