You must never cry in front of a woman if you want her to respect you (interested, serious)

Sounds like a theory about realationships with women coming from a lonely guy.


I don't tend to take such very seriously.

It's totally normal and not at all something he should be judged about.

Exactly. I would have more trouble accepting the opposite scenario, him never crying.

And what if his dad or grandparent died? Or sibling? Or child? Is that not okay? Has to just be his mother or ''Favorite'' dog? Really, guy?

Yes.

Wow, this is dumb ASF.

A man must stand strong and attentive in a sad or dangerous situation. It is his shoulder that others lean on and cry.

So a man isn't even allowed to cry in private by himself? Who says he needs a shoulder to lean on? This is real Neanderthalian drivel....

And your thinking the death of a dog means more than the death of another close relative that isn't a mother is also something that some people would think is beyond asinine and ridiculous.

Cry it out! Crying is normal.

I do believe a broken leg lamp might qualify a man for a good weep.
