Real men have tear ducts and emotions. It's the ones made of stone that don't cry.

I would never cry in front of a woman. The only woman who can see me crying is my mother obviously.

This^
I consider it a compliment if a man has the stones to cry in front of me.

My ex-spouse cried every once in a great while, my ex-bf did a couple times when he had some sudden losses-
and it didn't lessen my opinion of them in the least. I was glad they could access their emotional expression like that.

I bet you broke up with them the moment they cried. You can't really expect a woman to respect you after you've cried in front of them.

Pshaw.
I bet you're wrong about that assertion, because they both broke up with me-*years* later.

Never, ever cry in front of a woman. My father is my reference of strength when it comes to this. His sister and mother died barely a few days apart. He didn't shed a tear at the funeral and worked all day when they died.

Your father sounds like a creepy dude. Severe emotional issues at the very least.
