Are you OK if your man friend or boyfriend cries in front of you? How do you feel about male crying?

If it is not OK for a guy to cry in public, is it OK in private?

Never in public unless it's a funeral, and even then, just a few stray tears... I'm not a fan of public displays of emotion of any sort.

@Quizzical Is that part of that legendary “Stiff upper lip” demeanor you folks have made famous ? 🤔

@bijouxbroussard I suppose a small part of it may be that, though mainly it's my own ethos.

Stoicism is unfortunately a dying attitude in this era of the perpetually offended.
