Do men cry? And do women like when they cry?

yes some men cry. i cried at my mothers funeral and the day she died. i also cried when my son was born. your bf is either depressed or thinks playing sensitive will get him points with you. how women react to a man cring is up to her. my gf at the time of my moms death was very compassionate and held me and listened to me about how i felt. my son is now 2 yrs old and my wife still talks about how sweet she thought it was to see me cring because i was so overwhelmed with happiness to hold my new born son. again though it is all up to the individual on how they react.

In today's society, it takes a very strong man to cry. I think it is more sad to see a man cry because men today are usually ashamed of their emotions. I also know several women who can turn on the water works just to get their way. I never assume some injustice has been done just because a woman cries. I find out as much of the whole story as I can before I make any judgements. (I judge actions not people)

well men just don't quite function like women.  It's hard for them to understand our emotional needs.  They're like little kids.  Full of energy, jumping from exciting activity to another sometimes they just forget that we exist.  Emotional stuff is just not really in their train of thought unless we sit them down and tell them exactly how we feel and tell them what we want and need.  After he knows exactly what we want then he has no excuse for ignoring our needs.  We fullfill their physical needs they should do so for our emotional ones.

Skyler --\nIt IS okay for a man to cry, especially to express his emotions.  It is also healthier to do so when it needs to be done.  Do not put this off until later.  If it is okay to laugh when you are happy, then it okay to cry when you are sad.\n\nIf you do not want to appear as a crybaby, then do not cry like a baby, with loud sobbing and blubbering.  If you do not want to appear to be a whiner, then learn to cry without whining.\n\nThere is never anything wrong with allowing the tears to flow.  But if you want to look masculine doing it, do so silently (a little nose sniffling is okay, so is blowing your nose if that is needed).  Just let the tears fall, do not draw attention to them by continuing to wipe them away.  Take deep breaths, fill your lungs, hold the air slightly before you exhale and cry.\n\nEmotions are meant to be expressed.  When you try to hold them inside, you are doing yourself harm (that is why you feel like you are going to explode).  When you express your emotions honestly, you have nothing to be ashamed about.\n\nOne of my favorite verses from the Bible is also one of the shortest.  It reads: "Jesus wept."

Men feel the emotions, but are trained not to express them.  Sure, we fly off the handle in road rage when some idiot in the right hand lane makes a left hand turn without signalling, but men usually do not express emotions other than anger very well.\nPart of this is training.  Part of this is cultural.  Part of this is because women (including our mothers) do not teach us differently.\nSome of this might go back to the training of warriors.  By not expressing emotions, the enemy has a much harder time figuring out what you are going to do.  Ever wonder why Xena or Wonder Woman sometimes acts like a man?

i know this might sound stupid . . . but i like a guy who sheds a tear every once in a while b/c that lets me know that he is sensitive. just b/c a guy cries, that does not mean that he is any less tough, or macho than he was before . . .

Well personally I don't cry, but I have seen others cry. Like my best friend; he's rather passionate towards football... \n\ni guess that makes you a weird freaky fanatic... :P no worries plenty of others do it too

Yes, they like to use sensitive guys as their emotional tampons, particularly when the bad boys that they're having sex with dump them.  That's when they love to cry on the shoulders of their sensitive male friends.\n\nBeing a sensitive guy is really great if you are not interested in having sex with women but love to hear them talk.

Take a poll and ask 50 girls when was the last time they cried.... then ask 50 guys.... I'm pretty sure that if answered honestly your answer would be there.  Girls have a social norm where they are allowed to whine and cry. Most guys were taught to be tough or to stop crying.  If not by parents then by other peers.

no its not a bad thing to make him cry that means hes human and is not a hard core asshole. maybe it was that you were quiet and your usually not that shocked him or it was that you told him that he has you forever and always men are so hard to read i have been married for 9 years and i can honestly say he says that i am ignoring him but i not his thing is he thinks i am pissed off all the time and i'm not i have 3 kids so when they go to bed i am done talking. i think your ok and just be open and honest with him and you guys should be fine

No, there's nothing wrong with you crying. It's ok to show your emotions and many guys don't like to express their emotions openly. You're only expressing how you feel so what is wrong with that? And yes, I'm Indian.

I don't know why some of us are like that, I know sometimes I get mad, but we all do. I don't believe that women are not supposed to deal with guys getting mad, they should be able to voice their opinion, but truthfully, sometimes that doesn't solve anything, it makes it worse, and really it depends on the situation. Men are supposed to be the head of the family, the bible says that, but it also says that the husband is suppose to love his wife like he loves himself, and not to be harsh with them. So, sometimes when we lose our cool, we are just blowing off steam, and that is a time where we want to be left alone, but not all men are like that. I know it helps me when a woman tries to help and be encouraging, but we all are different.

Men know that a small thing for them, can be a huge thing for a woman.  So they are in fact lying to protect themselves from a big argument, or fight or whatever best suits you.  Some are actually sensitive and dont want to see you upset or crying over something that looks bad but is not (in their eyes).\nThe sad thing is they are not good liars and sooner or later we find out then the fight or argument will be even bigger than they thought.

I'm male, and I cry when the mood strikes me. Nothing unmanly about showing your feelings. I cried at the end of Titanic and when Darth Vader died in Return of the Jedi. I also cried at the end of Saving Private Ryan.
