Women need to quit lying to themselves because they know good & well if their man were to cry, they would tell him to "man up" Be for real.
I can agree with this. Whether women want to admit it or not, they don't want a man that shows emotion, they want a strong man that's able to be strong for everyone else, even when he has reason to break down.
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.
Do you consider laughing or smiling a loss of control? What is it about showing sorrow that equals weakness, but showing anger or joy or love doesn't?
Just one of those society rules where men are not expected to show their feelings and sensitive soft side and women are not expected to be honest and upfront about their sexuality.

Agree, any man who cries is not much of a man anyway.

Showing anger is certainly a loss of control. Negative emotions like anger or crying should be done alone and in private if they need to be done at all.
This is a complicated question. I like manly men, strong and dominant men who can protect me when needed. At the same time, I don't want a savage barbarian. I want him to have emotions and be sweet and romantic when needed. There needs to be a balance. A man who is too emotional and cries often is not attractive to me. It's nice to know a man can cry because it shows that he has a heart and is vulnerable (and sometimes it's really sexy to see that side of a man ),but for me to be attracted to him he has to be strong and manly.
I hate it when anyone cries in front of me who I do not know really well and am good friends with. And I hate it when I cry in front of people I don't know well too.
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?

If someone doesnt agree with your perceptions of what every woman wants then they're lying?? ugh
