yes.unless its ok for you to die at thirty.
when you cry, you let go and feel better after, and its a fact. if you hold tears, its slowly killing you.

Since crying is a natural, healthy biological function in response to stimuli including stress, pain (emotional or physical), negative and positive emotions, and various other things, it is quite frankly ridiculous and wrong (imo) to suggest that it is not ok for anyone to cry, regardless of gender or age. It would be like saying 'it is not ok to flinch' or 'it is not ok to get goosebumps' etc, both natural bodily reactions to various stimuli.

I'm an Edmonton Oiler and New York Jets fan. I cry all the time.
Was that before or after Wayne Gretzky went to play for the Los Angeles Kings in 1988?

I totally know where your coming from! I dumped a girl for passing gas once. It was silent and she apologized but I'm still not going to put up with that non-sense!Everyone is allowed to do what they want. Whether is attractive or not is something else. I personally don't like men crying too much. I've left a man because of this.
What? You think just because it's a natural bodily function and only affected me for a single instant in time that I'm just gonna shrug it off?
Pfft! I'll find a woman without a butthole, thank you very much!

J/K: A person who gets weepy over every little thing is unattractive but that has nothing to do with gender.
If this was the case then it's totally understandable. If you dumped him because he cried once while watching Rudy... Now that's some Jerry Seinfeld level shallowness there!

My cat of 17 years died last summer.
We buried her, and I never saw my dad cry like that, in my entire life. Not even when his MOTHER died.
It was weird. We cried together.
/still manly doe
Nah, you lost your manliness. Too late. ![]()
This vid gets me every time. Everytime.

As much as I love Seinfeld, I'm not such bad a person to dump someone for crying once, lol. Nor would I do it if the person had legit reasons to cry.
My ex was just too emotional and cried not only daily, but several times a day over nothing. I just couldn't stand it anymore. I like men who are more manly than that.

As a Chiefs/Royals/Blues fan, I'd like to hear more about this Sports nirvana...
It's sounds so majestic!
If you could explain it slowly and in great detail?
And try not to be intimidated if I go fetal and start mumbling incoherently. It's just me coping.

At funerals and the Grand Canyon.
A personal relation to this specifically, which makes the usual aspect of crying at funerals amazing to me, is when you feel "fine" however long before it. As in, it's in your head and in your conscious actions leading up to it to be strong and not cry, for whatever reason. Maybe you think everyone will do the crying over a loved one for you so you feel no need to. But when you get to that funeral, as "fine" as you felt before, the urge to let the tears flow seems to just punch you in the face as the finality of loss finally dawns on you.

Lol I was just talking. That's legit how I feel about the whole funeral experience as it relates to letting your emotions out, from my own experience.

I have very little to say about when it is appropriate for a man to cry.
However, one of my personal rules is that I never judge someone's behaviour at a funeral. Mind you, if someone shows up totally bombed and disrupts things, I may call the cops. But other than that, you really have no idea how other people process grief or where they are in their grief.
I once overheard some acquaintances critique a friend of mine for behaving like the perfect hostess at her mother's funeral and reception. What the harpies didn't know was that after the crowds went away my friend was prostrate for weeks afterwards. She was honouring her mother by being the lady her mother wanted her to be and that probably made things worse, although less guilt ridden.
At my mother's funeral none of us cried. My father didn't, my brothers didn't, my sister didn't and I didn't. My father has not stopped missing her. He is utterly devastated. But we don't show emotions in public. We just don't. That doesn't mean we don't feel them. And it doesn't mean we don't weep in private. Everything I had was soggy for a week.

I think it's perfectly okay for a man to cry as long he feels very strong emotions within him, and that he no longer can contain what he feels inside. Now if a man cries all the time for every little thing, then that guy needs to get a grip......and soon lol.

I know what you mean tbh. Sometimes you just get caught up in the moment and the emotions. Thus the thoughts just slip from your mind, forming into words. And when you're saying/typing, the emotion that was within you becomes more profound than it was before.

So basically what I understand is if it is something really personal to you it is okay but other than that hold it in?
Doesn't matter to me. If someone feels like crying, I say cry. Crying doesn't hurt beyond a little burning of the eyes. There shouldn't be anything stopping someone from expressing that emotion.

sure, and inbetween breaths you can hear any and all respect you might have had blowing away in the wind.
I guess the way "society" is going now is such a joke it doesn't even matter tbh.
