Which shows more weakness, to hide your emotions in fear that someone might judge you or show them and to hell with who takes exception.
Last time I knew hiding who you are out of fear made you a pussy regardless of your gender.
Well then, good sir, brace yourself because I have a funny hat collection just begging to be hurled to the ground!Onyx Oblivion said:
OT: If something genuinely bad has happened to you, fine. If you're watching a heart renching movie (personally for me, Up and Toy Story 3. SHHH! Don't judge me!) also fine. If it's something tiny and insignificant, like someone played a prank on you, not fine. If something bad has happened to someone else who needs your support, not fine, sack up.
Of course it's not wrong. At least in certain situations. Nobody likes a crybaby after all, especially when that crybaby is a mature adult. And excessive crying... well I'd be asking the fella what's wrong and maybe he needs to see a doctor for depression or something.
But there's no reason why one can't express their emotions over the passing of someone close, a sight/sound/smell/taste so magnificient only tears can express your joy, a wistful memory or when you've been helping out in the yard and something drops on your foot.

While I have been emotionally moved by profound displays of art in the mediums of film, music and gaming I can't recall any time it has brought me to tears, although a few have come close. Doing so however, is perfectly fine I'm not prone to crying very often the last time in fact being over a year ago after a revelation I don't wish to disclose but it is perfectly understandable that people need to vent especially considering most people will have had to face far more severe tribulation in their lives than me. In short no, it is not wrong. Christ, my lengthy expositing is even worse than Kojima.
It's not wrong of course, if you have tears to shed then go for it.
Be warned: women say they like it when a man cries, but they don't. Do it on your own time.
I'll shed an occasional tear with a particularly good piece of music, or emotional movie, but can't say I've cried in decades, even though I've had plenty to cry about.

There's no problem with a man crying, in fact, it shows he's a sensible being with emotions that can be shattered, just like anyone else's.
And if a girl thinks that a guy is less of a man when he cries, she reached a level of sexism and stupidity far beyond any other. The fact that a guy cries more often merely shows that he is more sensitive than other men.

No. But I still don't like the idea of it. Demonstrates a lack of good, old-fashioned 1950s backbone.
There's nothing wrong with having emotion, It's one of the two things that separates animals and people from plants.
This. This oh this.SammiYin said:
My life rarely gives me reason to cry, I manage to keep things neutral at the least.
But man if I need to bawl for something, screw you populace! This is self therapy! Just be happy I'm not taking a gun to the supermarket or something.
Not in the slightest. The men who think there's something wrong with crying are usually much more emotionally insecure than the ones who don't. I cried last night (more like this morning, really) watching 127 Hours. It's such a damn powerful film.
It's absolutely fine, I am a fairly emotional guy and I don't care, if something strikes me emotionally then it can bring out tears. Feels really good to get out your emotions, whether they are tears of joy or ones of sorrow it all helps.
Shows you're human, anyone saying they don't cry is missing out or lying through their teeth.
Off topic mildly, but this shit just made me tear up as I was replying to this thread, amazing to see someone in the mainstream who can really show some emotion, fucking beautiful shit right here.
