Crying occasionally I'm sure is fine. Crying almost constantly, like I was a few months back, is probably a slightly less attractive trait

I’ve always been comfortable with it. It is an essential way of clearing distress emotions. Sobbing is cathartic and I often leak from the eyes when I am so moved during films or tv programmes or while watching a particularly moving performance.

I've always tried to hide feelings and I don't cry at films or anything like that but problem with hiding feelings and emotions is that they build up and bite you in the arse and then end up like a blubbering idiot my ex used to say it takes a real man to show emotion and cry were all human after all

I'll say anything to get a clip round the arse

But on a serious note it is definitely good for guys to be able to express their emotions the way they want to without crappy stereotyping

Of course it's ok for a man to cry such as if he spills his pint and doesn't have money for another. Thankfully I'm an emotionless husk, also don't drink beer.

As a bloke I will just say it's healthy to let emotion out, now if that is in private all well and good..

It's when men bottle it up or are 'strong and manly' that problems arise..

Absolutely. Men can and should experience the same range of emotions as anyone else.

Here the patriarchy hurts men too, and it needs to stop.

Cry if you need to cry. It's a healthy release.

I once cried because Asda didn't have the Extra Special mushroom risotto I had been looking forward to all day. Granted it had been a long, hard day but I definitely raised some eyebrows in the chilled aisle

In all my years not once did I ever see my father cry, not even when my brother was killed or when his parents died.

Myself, I bottled up my emotions for many years, but in the last 4 years I must have cried over 1000 tears for various reasons, from losing a loved one, to something in a movie. I mean what kind of man cries watching 50 shades of grey?!?!... yep, I did!

My grandmother didn't live to see 60. She fell ill quite quickly, but her death was drawn out and hideously painful.

I still feel the pain radiating from my grandfather at her funeral. He wouldn't cry. After all of that. Because men didn't.

It is a massive injustice and I'm still angry for him that society did that to him.

For previous generations there was a stigma about men crying, not crying was a sign of strength even in the most heart breaking of circumstances. Fortunately today it is more acceptable for a man to show his emotions in front of others, hopefully for the next generation that stigma will disappear for good.

I’d say that the only thing that’s not okay is wanting to cry about anything and feeling that you can’t or that you’re somehow not allowed to.

If you want to cry then cry, nothing’s worse to me than holding it in, that solves nothing.

Same, sometimes you just need a good cry to let go of built up emotions. The risotto thing was an example of not being able to deal with all the stress I had been through that day, ergo losing it over something so dumb. Crying is so therapeutic

He didn't have to be "a man" in front of me. He was in pain. For bloody obvious reasons.

I have discovered a few wonderful things being on my own, for a few years now.

A nap listening to music in the early evening helps me get through Match of the Day later and not falling asleep (during Man Utd games

Pay a few extra quid for a decent red wine but not more than £20

But crying in private is a great way of dealing with pent up emotions. In a future relationship I’d still want to do it in private, for me it’s not something (sadly) I’d want to share, the napping and wine fine but the crying that’s for me alone.

Maybe he cried when he was alone behind closed doors, maybe he wanted to be strong so he could support others who were grieving, but it is sad that he felt that he couldn't let others see him cry.

Yes, everybody should be able to show their emotions without the fear of being embarrassed or being judged.

Crying used to be frowned upon in the older generation and was a sign of being weak for a man. So glad that things have changed and men are able to show emotion and show they have a heart. Crying releases tension for me but I’m a sod for bottling things up then boom everything comes out all at once and it can be over the smallest thing

Of course men can cry and if I'm there I will hug you whilst you cry.

I would rather men (and women) cry and let it out rather than bottle it all up

In cave behind a waterfall on a hill

"In all my years not once did I ever see my father cry, not even when my brother was killed or when his parents died.

My grandmother didn't live to see 60. She fell ill quite quickly, but her death was drawn out and hideously painful.

I still feel the pain radiating from my grandfather at her funeral. He wouldn't cry. After all of that. Because men didn't.

It is a massive injustice and I'm still angry for him that society did that to him."

Its not your grandfather you should be angry with. He can no more change his history and those indoctrinations that went with his generation than many others who lived similar lives with all their social and emotional constraints.

Who of us knows what others do in private they are unable to express in public, including crying at the losses in our lives. Be gentle with him, not angry, when tears are shed often the world does not see them. x

It probably depends on context tbh? You don't really want a tear in your eye trying to get past Customs do ya?

In all fairness though, my Nanny passed last July and there was nothing I could do but cry.

Crying is as natural an instinct as taking a pee. It's ourselves who have made something more out of it.

Think it's been said , but ofcourse it's ok for guys to cry - more than that, guys should be encouraged to express emotions. Read a study on mental health , and it's estimated that I only 5% of males that require some level of counciling actually seek help - so guys it's good to talk about stuff and cry if that's what you need

Peace

They re your tears...own them..let no one stop there flow if thats how one feels. Its natural to all so why should it be ok for some and not for others. Society could do with a major re think on many of its ideas....cry away fella..it shows your strength not your weakness.

Yes it is okay for men to cry.

I find it odd though. I don’t cry at many things in my real life (occasionally do if I am really stressed) but I can cry easily at any movie, song, book etc! Especially stories where someone has pushed through major struggle and it works out in the end.

There is profound strength in confronting your vulnerability.

Yes it's ok for men to cry. Personnally I rarely cry and have never cried over a song, film/TV show or book. The only times I've cried is when I've had a breakdown.

Nothing wrong with a guy crying. Lots of things get me going. Films that hit a nerve. Things my daughter says and does. Tears of pride and happiness not tears of sadness

I don't cry at films, books, songs. But it's not because I try to hide it, I've never felt shame in crying.

Dude if its something that you do naturally and without agenda or coercion then ofc it's fine. How could it not be? Emotions are there for a reason. They're clues as to what you need to be right with the world.

If you feel sad then you need a hug. Is that weird? Shouldn't be.

Id be worried if a man didn’t cry, it’s a natural thing and is not a weakness, just a release of emotions

"Some films do it to me.

"Yes. It's a sign of strength for anyone to be able to show their emotion."

Very well said. I do agree.

The old saying of "keep a stiff upper lip" and encouraging men to not show their emotions is very bad advice.

North East Scotland, mostly

Oh, yes, yes, of course it's ok

I actually think it can take a lot of courage for some men to show their emotions. So it's definitely a sign of strength, not weakness.

I'm sure plenty people have already said this but I couldn't be arsed reading the whole thread
