My husband has cried in front of me countless times. When our dog was run over and killed, when his mother died, when I had something horrible happen to me... I never told him to "man up, " nor would I. Real men cry and men who can't cry have some issues. And why any woman would want a man who could not cry is a mystery.
There is no corrolation between not crying and "being a man." Being a man is a lot more nuanced, multi-layered and involved than merely not crying.
You know how women cry while watching chick flick and things like that which are see as normal, how would women take it if a man cried watching a movie?
Aw darn it! Yes, I have cried with a movie or two out there in the company of a girl or group of friends, when I said goodbye to my brother in Japan as he was flying back home, seeing a friend cry as he was going through his divorceand while giving him a hug through those difficult moments, saying goodbye to my ex as she was flying back to Japan, etc. .
I have nothing wrong with crying as long as there is a good reason- men or women. What I dislike the most? Is when women cry to manipulate people around them...(And I am a girl!)
Any man who cries before a woman is not considered to be a real man, and such a person is usually dumped immediately once he does that, a man could cry with some man friends of his, they would understand and console him, or cry alone, preferably cry alone, if you cry before a woman, consider your relationship gone for good.
I would not want to be with a man who is unable, or unwilling, to cry in front of me when something very sad occurs.

Co-sign 110%. That's the general consensus

I'm just saying that deep down, women know they're lying to themselves when they say they want a man that's not afraid to show emotion. I simply pointed it out

I have this poster on ignore so i didn't see this earlier:

Seriously? As demonstrated in this thread, it's generally the men who will give a guy all kinds of #$%^ for showing emotion and it's generally women who will accept it.
Yeah, right. I guess a man who has their daughter kidnapped by a pedophile, tortured and then murdered, just CANNOT cry.
"Yup, my little girl got killed yesterday, but dang, I can't cry 'cause I ain't much of a man if I do so."
The amount of idiocy on this thread boggles the mind.
Any woman who doesn't want a man who cries when warranted will never stay in a long-term relationship and any man who can't (or won't) cry is NO man.
And the asinine stereotypes here are hilarious: "No woman will respect a man who cries." Whoever wrote this has only been around 15 year old girls or has never dated at all.
I'm not talking about some man crying because the panty hose at Walmarts went up 23 cents a package. I'm talking about a man who cries when the situation demands it. For all you women claiming you don't want a man to cry... if you were in an accident and ended up mangled and in traction in the ICU.. and he sees you in the hospital, you'd think he's less of a "MAN" if he cries because he loves you and you are in agony?
In instances like those, not only would crying be appropriate but taking action should soon follow. In the pedophile example, crying wouldn't enter my mind at all but revenge would definitely be in order.

Guess you've been raised around nothing but women your whole life to let this statement come out your mouth.

To each his/her own.
Most of the people here who say they won't mind when a man cries are just saying that over here, they won't follow that in real life, for the most part.

Already. These women are funny. As stated before, there are acceptable and unacceptable instances for a man to show emotion.
