I think toxic masculinity is a danger for both men and women in society. It makes me sad to see how "incels" behave and how lost and alienated men turn to predators such as Andrew Tate.
only if he is crying about lavender perfume and black mannequins

No, not at all. I feel that each person should be able to show their emotions, even if they end up crying. This goes for both men and women.

Agree , well said 😊@JerseyGal

I figure if a man is crying he is in exstordinary pain of some variety. Men have been trained not to cry so tears indicate to me that something is very, very wrong.

The only times I have seen my husband cry was after close family members died. It moved me deeply.

Makes him more of a man in my eyes. A real man has real feelings. When secure with his masculinity he won’t let society make him feel weak for showing natural emotions.

Men or women who don't cry in disastrous situations or in situations when a normal person experiences grief creep me out. I mean...when no longer in the shock stage.

I hide my tears cause I don’t want anyone to see me cry, cause last thing I need in life is to be judged and called “less than” a man. I’d rather kill myself than that ever happening.

No. Despite what someone might have told you. Crying is a human need. It's really important to express sadness or grief woyh vulnerability. Repressing becomes depression.

@SW-User there must be 0.4mg of salt in each tear otherwise I will have to send you to the incinerator

Honestly I keep my emotions bottled in so much. If I do cry I'll probably get angry and kill everyone in the room as well. I do cry sometimes at night listening to a song. Or when I'm trying to actually feel something. I'm annoyed and pissed off that it's considered weakness. If someone does consider crying weakness. Or is obsessed with 'definition of 'real' man' I instantly lose respect and avoid them.

The only times I have shed tears were when I had to euthanize my dogs.
GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M
Depends what your crying about
@GuyWithOpinions Real men don't cry. About anything. Period.
GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M
@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays no. Thats a robot.

If you cry cause you stubbed your toe. Your kind of a pussy.

If you cry because you lost a loved one or endured significant hardship. Thats just human.
SW-User
No, very strong
GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M
@SW-User hey its you! I remeber you.

Nothing wrong with shedding tears

If a man cries, it means he’s been hurt deeply… greater than his ability to be stoic. It’s both abnormal and uncommon, but not wrong.

If he cries all the time, there’s either an issue of depression or he’s a bit heavy on the estrogen.
Crying, in general, is the release of emotions for all living species.

Crying before others is Not worth the act.

There is nothing wrong with a man crying it shows he is human. I would be more worried if a man doesn't cry.

Depends. If they're already unattractive, then go for it. If I'm attracted to them, it's an instant ick
GlitterEater · 36-40, F
No, unless they are crying about something that indicates they are weak.
Not at all. I think it’s healthy, and how you survive.
I saw my father cry for the first time in my life with the loss of Mom. It broke my heart, but I know it’s how he will work through being widowed. 😞

The last time i cried i was drunk. I quit drinking that moment.
It depends. Did someone die? Or did he get a run in his pantyhose?
Definitely. Do you think Trump cries?
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
Depends on why he's crying.
SkeetSkeet · 100+, F
No,,but I was in a relationship with a guy who cried more than me and it was kind of weird

@Emosaur
Also I'm curious, as a fellow leftist, do you think it partly the left's fault that Andrew Tate became so popular?

The left is failing men like they fail workers. We can't seem to establish good alternatives or present alternatives well. I think the left should rely a little bit more on populism like the right does.
