I know the answer is 'yes', so let's get that out of the way.



But what is your own personal knee-jerk reaction to a man crying to you?



I personally find it adorable if a man cries to me, but I could never find myself
crying to him. I rarely cry as it is, let alone to another man. My knee jerk
reaction to it is normally one of discomfort.


But when I'm told men cry readily and openly to their wives,
it's kind of unfortunate and outdated, but I just want
to call them a pussy and make them knit me a sweater. No, seriously.




That being said, I wish dad's cried to their children. American men don't know our fathers. And our fathers seldom know us. We don't cry.

If they are hurt, sure.
it gives release to their emotions.

I only saw my dad cry one time. At his dad's funeral.

I have cried in front of a million orgers. I'd be interested to find out how many were totally uncomfortable over it

As for a partner, it's not a requirement but someone who can cry to me would be most welcome. Not because they couldn't cope with a small thing but just being openly emotional about real life.

It depends on what you cried about.

If you cried to me cause Madonna wasn't touring in your city, I'm simply going to tune you out.

I swear, at the next Minneapolis invasion, if those hosts decide to make it public and invite me, I'm going to cry my eyes out in front of Anxiety just
to see that bitch do this:

Every boyfriend i've had has cried to me.
Some of them is just ---->
And some i cant help but comfort.


But lawd when my bf cries around me i start crying and we just hug each other with snot and buggers hanging all over each other. just nastiness

That's a real sweater knitter right there.

I cry if I need to.
My partner very seldom cries.

why dont u just come to NY and we can cry together

when my significant other cries in front of me, i usually find it helpful to hold a mirror in front of him and yell "LOOK AT THE WHINEY BITCH!", which i know he always appreciates, because it gives him something to REALLY cry about.

great question!

You summabitch!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Do ever feel crying puts your sig other in a strange spot?
SOmetimes, I don't even complain or talk about the stresses of the day
so as not to burden them.

I know... fucked up

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

He would never try to stop me.
I'm not whiny ::cough::ANXIETY::cough:: but if something moves me or I'm very saddened by an event I'll cry.

I won't cry cuz we can't go on a trip or something stupid like that.

Imago said:

No. they better know they are in the perfect spot

johnart said:

Despite one point of evilness, I don't cry over stupid shit Unless I'm really super pissed but even then it aint about a hangnail or cuz I wouldn't buy my favorite bread at the store.

johnart said:

This is still kind of gay though, no?

Imago said:

I ASK my partner about his day, stresses, etc.
Let him know I'm here if he wants/needs to let off steam.

Is that the type of crying you're talking about tho? Like OOH I had a shitty day waaaaa???? Cuz that's way gay.

That's not the cryin I'm talkin about.


OH a blowjob or a good fuck help let off steam too.

Imago said:

It's human We've conditioned men to become monsters and women to accept that.

Imago said:

No gayer than when you put your purse down to suck a dick.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

That just seems really gay to me, don't you agree?

johnart said:

i say and do that to him too, how did you know?

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

But I just picture a whole movement of Richard Simmons ala David Letterman show, crying.

It's just all too purse

Imago said:

N

O



This is one reason I am glad I'm gay because even though evillness thinks it's wrong for a man to cry it's ok for a gay man to cry. I know that people tend not to take a man seriously, straight or gay, if they cry but that is an issue they need to work out and I. don't. own. that. shit.

People think it's a weakness to cry, to me it's my strength.
