Do you think it shows strength if a boy cries?

Or is it a sign of weakness?

Strength and if you see it or he tells you about it. Not only is he showing strength but also showing you how much he truly trusts you and feels mentally and ‘emotionally safe with you.

@NewBeginnings7790 thats not true. If a guy, boy or man crys, even once. It shows weakness. He may never be taken serosusly ever again, especially by girls and women, even if they trust you infact its worst to cry around trusted people. Around trusted people one should never cry. Females its ok because women are meant for this but not males. True strength is when nothing makes you cry. Even during painful things like injurys. It can be very concerning for evryone seeing men cry and it puts women off making them feel unsafe. Whether women admit it or not. If a guy never crys even during disturbing instances or sad situations women will feel safer around this type of man. It is a falacy when people say strong men cry. Imagine if someone like trump ever cried.. Many would lose respect for him. Men should not ever,ever. Ever cry. Especially around women. If a man gotta cry they must do it alone when Nobodys watching. And even being sick with like a cold or something like that, one should not be seen sick or risks being seen as unhealthy with a weak immune system. A strong mind, a strong body & health is usually favored by society & partners. Constantly being sick and emotional is a rise for concern amongst evryone especially for men

This is obviously not true since the first two comments above come from women supporting men/boys who cry. You don't reveal which culture you live in, so it may be that you are in one of those cultures which still represses men into a certain kinds of behaviour just as it does with women.

Nothing to do with either. It's just a natural part of being human and feeling emotions or pain. It can be a great release.

Absolutely!!! 💯 crying helps release pain.

Tears are a natural way to help us heal.

I would be worried about a boy or man if they don’t cry about anything, especially the serious things. Everyone needs to release their strong emotions at some point.

Neither -- it's a sign of being human.

It's neither. It's a normal bodily function.
Cryings like riding a rocking horse.
Give you something to do but wont get you anywhere.
