Mystiflower: Men Do Cry????????....yes..but mostly they will try to hide their tears too...
Who said that a man has no right to cry? Who said that crying is only for women?
Both men and women are human, made of the same materials (if I may say so), and have - of course - emotions. Both can feel happy, sad, annoyed etc. What makes them different is physical appearance (resulted in different role) and social treatment. The later is not originated from God's rule. It's a cultural product.
Women are always considered weaker than men. On the other hand, men have to be always stronger, tougher than woman, physically and emotionally. That's not fair. Crying is one of emergency way to get better when we feel sad. If the sadness is too much to handle, then what else can we do? Cry! This is much better than pretending that we are strong (because of we are men) while we have no way to make our burden lighter. It has no relation at all with strength or weakness. This is only a way to avoid from being deppressed by our sadness.
But what we will find in this real world is there is a kind of convention that men don't cry. That's why most of men look very tough in public, but they cry out loud in their own hidden-private-room. This is still better than trying to pretend as a tough people anytime and not to cry when it is time to cry.

We may be made of the same materials, but am I glad we have different parts!
Even if we most often handle feelings with versions of aggression we do cry when we are at complete loss of something dear to us - a good friend, a loved pet etc.
For many men I think crying is without tears, but the feelings are still the same.
This thing with crying is probably way old, men was not supposed to be blinded by tears but see clear no matter feelings. Lay man thinking here.
Came across this somewhere. Nope,don't let anyone tell you that is a sign of Weakness for a Man to cry. I don't make it a Rule to bawl in public,but that does not mean I do not shed tears;and not all the reasons are the same.
Here are some Quotes I found:
“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness,"
“Tears are words the heart can't express” ...
“Tears are the safety valve of the heart when too much pressure is laid on it.”
“Perhaps our eyes need to be washed by our tears once in a while, so that we can see Life with a clearer view again.”
“Tears are the silent language of grief”
“Laughter and tears are meant to turn the wheels of the same machinery of sensibility; one is wind-power, and the other water-power; that is all”
“So hold her closer when she cries, hold her closer when she feels. She needs a hand to hold, someone who will never let her go again. And hold him closer when he tries to hold the tears back from his eyes. Don't say goodbye.” Song: Hold Her Closer
“Things have different qualities, and the soul different inclinations; for nothing is simple which is presented to the soul, and the soul never presents itself simply to any object. Hence it comes that we weep and laugh at the same thing.”

Don't think it has to do with Gender!
That's exactly right! It is nothing more than secular pressure for the men.

Yes, real men cry. My dad always shows his emotions openly, and for me it's a sign of strength and being comfortable with who he is to know that a man is not afraid to cry or show other emotions, both privately and publicly.
lovestrees: Hi all. I've read none of the posts here. But, when your emotions are too much for your body to hold in, the energy weeps out through your eyes.
Makes no difference which equipment rests between your thighs.
Holding it back is harmful to the holder. Just let it flow, you will feel better afterwards.
