Men who aren't afraid to cry when they are truly emotionally overwhelmed: Turn on

Men who are truly emotionally overwhelmed all the darned time: Turn off

I could see the exact same thing being said about women.

Nothing wrong with a man being in touch with his feelings. But its a turnoff if he starts crying every time you have an argument with him, or lock himself in the bathroom bawl and sniffling all loud yet when you ask what's wrong they say "nothing". Or crying about a situation that they are in complete control of rolleyes

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

I only put up with one like that, but after he did what I described above, I wasn't with him for much longer. Then after he has his meltdown in the bathroom, when he gets back to normal, he's all like "I don't want you to think that I'm weak, it's just that I'm an emotional man"....I was thinking to myself "more like an emotional bitch if you ask me".

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

But as a man-that is something we have to put up with. So, it's refreshing that a lady has to put up with that crap (at least temporally).

I hope I can sense the difference between crying in order to manipulate the situation/me and genuinely crying due to grief/despair/pain.

Crying is just an outing of an emotion, just like laughing. To me it's not a turn of. Unless it's used as a manipulative tool. Every manipulation is a big turn of for me.

It's neither a turn on or a turn off.

The only way I would care would be if he cried all the time about everything.

nod I know a friend of mine's ex, when she was with him, everytime she was talk of leaving him he would cry and then tell her how much she meant to him, just to make her stay. It worked for a while, hell it worked for a couple of years..until she found out he was cheating on her, then he dumped her and ended up marrying the chick he cheated on her with.

There is nothing wrong with crying "Man Tears". I will even admit that I like to laugh sometimes just to keep from crying. I only time I'll cry [every now & then] is when I'm taking a dump. But I will say, I teared up a lot watching MJ's funeral.... sad

Was Jermaine that bad?

man crying his eyes out

it's okay once in awhile. like when his child is born while he's in the delivery room, or in grief and sympathy, or even when he feels emotional after an argument.

but hey, make it brief and not too often.

I wailed like a wounded animal the entire damn way through MJ's funeral, Stevie's part when he sang "I never dreamed you'd leave in summer", Jermaine's part when he sang "Smile"...... but MOST OF ALL, when Queen Latifah read Maya Angelou's poem she wrote for Michael and for the funeral called "We Had Him".

You see, there's a line in there:

in Birmingham, Alabama, and Birmingham, England

We are missing Michael.

Ya see, Michael's been my hero, a god like figure to me since I was 2 years old... and Birmingham, England is my home town, and so many memories of Michael are tied to different places around here, I remember running to the music store near where I grew up to buy "Dangerous", I remember going to indie record stores in Birmingham city centre because they'd have imported singles, I'd go to travelling record fairs around the city with my cousins and pick up dozens of J5 Motown vinyl singles, and even when I saw MJ live on the HIStory Tour, even though the show itself was in London, I remember the day I came home from school in Birmingham and picked up the newspaper and saw the show advertised and begged my dad for tickets. So many memories....

So when I heard that line, sitting here in Birmingham watching it live, I honestly felt it was for me. I just broke down and wailed so hard. Sounds harsh, but I cried harder that day than I did probably at any point during my divorce or even when some family members have passed.

Anyway.... yeah just had to let that one out when I saw the topic came up....

There've been times I've cried, like when my father was in the hospital or the day my mother died. Other than that, I do my best to keep my emotions in check no matter what. A man has to be in control, like a rock. Who wants to deal with a softie who cries at the drop of a hat whenever something goes wrong?

Eye cried my eyes out 2nites ago...Eye was so upset and when eye pulled myself 2gether it got me thinking about crying and specifically men that cry.

Over the years ive been ridiculed 4 crying by many women........What kind of man r u?They would say.

Are u a man or a mouse?They would throw at me.....Sometimes women can b so cruel!Such bitches!So cold and snake like!!!!Many times ive been at the cinema and started crying and women have been embarrassed by my tears..........And yet there have been times in my life where ive cried at a film or something on tv and the woman id been with thought it was beautiful that i could cry so freely and show my emotions in that way....Im just interested in what orgers feel about men that cry....Do u think its daft that a man could make love then soon after start crying?What if u were with ur man at the cinema and during a film u saw he was crying.......Has this happened 2u?....Is a sensitive man,a man that cries a huge turn off???Or do u find it sweet and a great insight in2 the man ur with???Do u feel lucky 2b with a man who cries?Or cant u wait 2 dump his cry baby arse???

Here r afew things that make davetherave cry

War

Cruelty 2 animals

Seven Pounds(film)

Films about Jesus

Csa

Letters from my son

The killing of sharks and whales

Women who try 2 put butplugs up my arse when eye least xpect it....

Watching the news its all Death/rape/murder/Natural Disasters

The guilt of smacking my cat when he poos in the wrong place

Loving some1 who lives 2 far away

Hour long mastubation marathon nites & taking the skin off my poor beaten cock

Old pictures of the life eye used 2 have..................cry cry cry cry cry cry

oh my. i'm trying hard to remember this is a thread about crying. about sadness and anguish of the human soul.

butt, that sentence just does me in falloff

men should be able to cry if/when they want to. all beings should. if a guy cries all rhe time, that might be a bit hard to handle.

It depends on what the man is crying about. If he's crying over the loss of a dear friend or loved one or if she is showing empathy for someone else's pain then that turns me on.

If he's crying over not getting any pussy then nah....you need to get up out my house bc I am thouroughly turned off.

I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!
