Guys are built differently than women...when a guy sees that something is wrong their first reaction is to try to "fix" whatever is wrong, when in reality sometimes all we are looking for is understanding or some comforting words. Try not to see it as a fault, it really isnt, us women are just more "emotionally intuned" than most men are.....I asked my father this same question many years ago, and he told me simply that most times guys really don't know what to say...like when we cry and they are just silent...it's because they dont know how to "fix" it...\n\nSo to answer your question, yes i believe it is common, and very normal : )

Most guys try to hide emotions until they need them. That is enough to confuse even the most seasoned veteran female!

I hope you really aren't crying over this guy. If he can't get his act straight then kick him to the curb. He won't realize what he has until it's gone. Life is short, worry about you not him.

Some men just think if they express themselves they seem week. We think a woman admires us for our strength and back in the old days it was true that if a man showed fear or sadness or even that he was in love, then he wasn't a "man". It's in our nature to hide any softness. Only women were soft. But some of us have realized, though, that women are more independent now and don't need so much "protection". It's just in our nature to to be strong and silent, though in some cases it's for homophobic reasons. Some men just need to be assured that expressing feelings is not a weakness but that it shows they are comfortable themselves and their mate. Let him know that if he expresses himself to you privately that he doesn't have to be so open when company is around. Trust me, it's not just you he may be protecting himself from. If he's been hurt in the past it could take a long time to open up. Just don't over do it by forcing him. Some men just feel more comfortable keeping it inside, but you have your needs too so don't give up. Hope I could help.

NO!! i think that you should just move on...if he's done it once he'll do it again and again!! i know that's its gonna be hard to move on but any guy that makes you cry and worry more than laugh and be happy isn't worth your time no matter how much you love him..it'll hurt at first but once you let go you'll be relieved!!

They may feel bad later on, but I doubt you will ever know it. Unless they end up in a 12 step program and decide to make ammends. I have been hurt a dozen times and never had an apology. What I have done is remember to keep my side of the street clean and learn from my mistakes. The right guy will come along, but you need to be in the right space to deal with him. That means taking care of yourself and not being to co-dependent, not to mention, guys will have more respect for you if you keep your independance and don't let them walk all over you. I had to learn this the hard way! Good luck.

Terribly, terribly guilty. Usually I apologize, and start crying. I don't yearn for attention, but if I am not getting attention because I hurt his feelings, I feel pretty dang bad.

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 don't understand a womans emotional being. I cry all the time for no reason (i am pregnant though) but if you really look at it how good does it feel to cry, DAMN GOOD! i believe it helps me stay sane. keeps me balanced, if i couldn't cry for no reason than i would cry for every other reason, which i don't because i cry for no reason, does that make sense? i think that yes it shows a sign of strength that you can cause yourself to be most vulnerable, because really nobody makes themselves vulnerable, they always wait for somebody else to. and I am completely Happy with myself and not depressed. i just think that crying is good for your soul.

Some of the men prefer lie to make the other feel better or the situation look better. However, women will cry when they know they are lain even the lie is with a good reason behide.\n\nHow do you think?

You should be ashamed of yourself.\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061104191254AARfhN7&r\nYou think it is funny and it is a turn on.\nHow stupid and cruel can women be? Do you know how damaging that can be, it is a long list, but to keep it short he can have infertility problems or lose a testicle(yes not that rare)! It is not just hitting, in that private place and especially done by the opposite sex, men usually feels sexually abused(even if does not show his feelings). It is a sex offense. Not to mention the emotional trauma.\nAnd women claim they are more sensible than men and non violent, yeah right!\nThat should only be used if someone is trying to rape you or kill you, only emergencies, only extreme cases of self-defense. If you do that in other situations, then you are 10 times worse than the guy you kicked.\nIf you think is funny to hurt and damage men like that, then you don’t deserve to be loved by any man or to have a family.\nDo you think men hurting women or raping them is funny too? No, because it affects you directly, typical female way of thinking. And you are spreading the word that is OK! You are lucky men are not like women, but some day you are going to kick the wrong guy and then you will lose your front teeth, or even worse go to jail.\n\nWant to see the long list of damage, go see my answer, if you care.

Yes, he should be upset.  Of course he should also take time to ask you first why you were hugging that guy.  I mean he would look like a total idiot if it turned out this other guy had just told you he lost a family member or something and you were just hugging him to console him.

It depends.\n\nPeople say hurtful things that they don't mean sometimes when they are angry and upset. If it was a one time thing and he apologizes, I don't think it's a dealbreaker.\n\nOn the other hand, if it's part of a larger pattern of poor anger management (or he just treats you poorly), get out and find a guy who will treat you with respect.

look, if you know you are not a cry baby then just don't listen to them. People attempt to piss you off any way they can, god, everyone knows that! People just say that just for the hell of trying to aggravate you. I am a 24 year old police officer and I cry occasionally, and i'm a man, there is nothing wrong with crying occasionally.
