"Which women? thats a major sweeping statement right there. It's not my view but a man said it to me after bursting into tears d*unkenly. Got me thinking whether it's true " I think often men feel that way but im sure for most women that really isn't the case. The phrases "man up" "stop being a girl" ect have a lot to answer for though. | |||

"Of course its ok for men to cry, maybe not after sex though, i imagine that could be a bit awkward." I had someone cry during it once. We both were as we were breaking up. It was actually beautiful and intense. | |||

"Which women? thats a major sweeping statement right there. It's not my view but a man said it to me after bursting into tears d*unkenly. Got me thinking whether it's true " I suspect men believe that's what women want and think they'll be judged on it in the same way women believe that men expect them to look perfect else they'll be judged on it. The truth in both cases is you're far more likely to be judged by your own sex. A man is much more likely to be judged by other men for crying just as a woman is far more likely to be judged by another woman for having the wrong eyebrow shape. | |||

"Any man bottling it up and not being able to cry when needed is an explosion waiting to happen. Whoever thought of the saying 'man up' or 'men don't cry' needs a slap so friggin hard that they cry for weeks. Holding things in and not expressing yourself when you're deeply upset is unhealthy so guys, cry if you need to." Just do what you've got to do. Fuck everything else. | |||

"Do you think there's a difference between crying when something genuinely tragic has happened, a bereavement for instance, and crying just because you dont get you're own way or things get a little bit difficult? Its a fine line there..." I don’t think there’s a line to draw between what’s ok to cry about and what isn’t - we all feel differently about things - both men & women. Do you mean it’s ok to cry for a bereavement but not if you don’t get your own way? What if that ‘way’ was the last hope at the end of a string of exhausting defeats for someone. Crying is a way to release sadness, fear, exhaustion, anger, overwhelm...and these things strike us all at different times and in different ways. Crying over tiny things is just as valid as crying over the big things. | |||

But we all have to experience hurt and pain at some points in our lives. There is no issue in showing that.

So I think it's a silly question. | |||

So I think it's a silly question. " Crying is not only a human response to sorrow and frustration, it’s also a healthy one.” It is a natural way to reduce stress that, if left unchecked, can have negative physical effects on the body,it can be a huge and much needed release no matter what the reason is whether its joy or sorrow. I've known men to scared to cry because they have been brought up to believe its wrong, that they aren't real men if they cry. Its very much ok to cry whst ever the circumstances xxx | |||

"I've cried more this past year than I've ever done. Something about a good cry that makes me feel that little bit better. I've cried on male and female friends shoulders and even had a wee bubble with my dog. I couldn't care less if someone thinks I'm a pansy because I've had a cry, ill show them how much of a pansy I am in a ring! " You are MORE of a man for admitting this lovely xx | |||
