I do believe it is okay for men to cry. It frustrates me that people place such silly roles upon people? Men, just like woman, are human. Sometimes people cry, sometimes they don't. It shouldn't depend upon gender, it should depend upon the person and how they deal with their emotions.
I cry at a few things my sister wouldn't cry at, simply because we are individual and find different things upsetting. Just the same as Jack and Jill, they would cry at different things because they are different, not because they are different genders.
I have seen my dad cry, and it broke my heart - but I would rather have seen him cry than stand there and be cold. My dad crying that day, meant more to me than anyone could ever know.

When you see only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you" you were carried out of are lifes into the next and when its my time to leave this life I know i will be carried into the next life with you.

It is not right to say a man is not allowed to cry, or it's not okay to cry.
Men are not stone, men are not goddamn rocks, they are human.
Anyone who says otherwise are truly heartless and insensitive.
I don't cry. Depends on the occasion if a man should or not. There are times i wish i coulda cried but couldnt. But i also know some guys who cry way to much over nothing.
I'm a woman and I don't cry. Men should cry when they need to express emotion.
It's just cultural. In South African tribes, the women are the 'rocks' and the men the emotional vessels. Western society has just given men more power and, therefore, more responsibility to remain strong.
Men are allowed to laugh, smile, and show good emotions, happy emotions.
No reason why they can't show sad emotions too.
Now I'll play your ghost as my ace, whenever I'm led astray.
But I am actually good, can't help it if we're tilted.
I'm in my right place, don't be a downer.
Morrigan, I'm very much the same. If I see a man crying, I will cry a million times worse than them, as it just.... I don't know how to explain it!! xx

However, if I see a man crying (or even getting a bit choked up) it makes me burst into floods - think it's because they do it so rarely it's usually a sign that something is really really wrong. That is just an instinctive thing on my part - it certainly isn't from any messages I ever received.
Same. It's like when you see old people falling over or something - it's just too painful to watch. I've seen my Dad cry three times in my whole life, and it was always so awful.
My ex was fairly in touch with his feelings and occasionally I'd be irritated by some of the things he cried about (like when he was making a posh pudding for a special meal and it went a bit wrong), but mostly I respect men who aren't afraid to cry sometimes.
...but mostly I respect men who aren't afraid to cry sometimes.
I agree with this point especially, lamestate.
It is okay to cry; it doesn't show weakness nor anything similar, it shows that you are human and have feelings. You can't be blamed for that.
You can't lose hope when it's hopeless.
You gotta hope more,
then put your fingers in your ears and go,
"Blah blah blah blah!"

I respect a man who can cry. To me I think that a man allowing themselves to be in touch with their emotions is far more masculine than one who thinks crying is for girls. I associate males who believe that they shouldn't show their feelings as being "blokes" or boys rather than men.
