..in our modern society, guys are known majorly as "bulls", "stone-hearted" or anything that is closely related to the word "power". because most people believe, that if you have power, you can have everything. and if you have everything, you would not cry. but what their, mistake is that they don't realize that power fades. especially for guys, they are known in the society as "players for girls", "kings for wives", and etc. but as we are not concern about these: THERE ARE GUYS WHO CRIES JUST EVEN FOR THE SIMPLEST THING IN THE WORLD - LOVE.. ..but do guys really have the rights to CRY..?

I don't know why but really never for once have i found my father crying. I have been wondering is that my father doesn't want to pass his sorrow to us and thus has to force back his spontaneous emotions.Oh, how terrible!Restraint on feelings is so harmful to people's life, and i really want to speak to my father that it will bond our family tightly if he could tell what's the thing going on and if it's so chanllenging we could face it together and even if the thing is out of our control, we could cry together. Really men have to shoulder so much more than wemen do, they have more right to cry out their depression and sorrow. when you want to cry,just cry! For crying is of no guilt!

Absolutely! Everyone, male or female has the right to cry! Not only that, everyone does cry. Everyone is has feelings and everyone at some point or another has been sad, hurt, lonely, in grieving, or otherwise and has cried, men included. I think that some men hide when they cry so that no one will see them because they are afraid that people will in some way make fun of them for crying. This happens because of the mistaken belief that boys are not supposed to cry. It is sad that society often places so many different ridiculous rules on people based on gender. Guys have the right to cry and they aught to be able to do so freely without having to hide for fear of ridicule because of it.

Ofcourse they have the right to cry..!! YOu are a boy so it doesn't means that you don't have the right to cry..!!! Because on the first position they are human only and humans do have feelings, so they do get hurt, they also feel the pain...!! I would never mind if a guy cries in front of me..!! BUt the thing is if some one cries on such a small reason to bother on..I found it very hilarious to watch..!! :)

..thanks. hmm you said for a small reason? well.. we have our own different opinions. if we will notice, some people are really sensitive with regards to their emotions or feelings. especially when it talks about their love one.

Hi,there! Everybody has the right to cry.It's not the girls' right only.Usually we say or we're taught that men don't cry that usual but we all know that's because the thing is not at the point that they're sad or really badly hurt.Everyone has the cause that he/she is sad,it's just that women show that more often and more obviously while guys usually don't show it or try to hide it in order that others don't see their unhappy emotion.So I really think everybody has the right to cry.If you're sad and you feel you need to cry,then just be yourself and cry as you like.It's a way to let things out and guys also need that.Best regards and have a nice day^_^

sure. We do. Why can't we cry? When we were little babies why cry to show our feeling and now even we are adult we can also cry. Crying is a way to let out the stress that does harm to us. People may think that you're men and you should be strong, well, we're men, but not robots! So that's our right.

..i like your response, especially when you said "we're men, not robots!". it's true, we are men. and we also have emotions, which is fragile. but im afraid that many of us nowadays still don't these facts.

Everyone have the right to cry I think. Maybe boy is always thought to be harder than girl,but he have many things that hurt his heart and left him grief. And crying is good for our health!

Any one have the right to cry. A man or a woman even animals cry. Crying is one of the way to release the stress.

Everyone has the right to cry, important is that why and what makes you cry? Do you think a man is sad at the departure, and there are some tears in his eyes, is not the true man? do you think when a man show his tears when he is moved, that the girls will disgust him, never. I think today's society puts a lot of expections on us, a lot of responsibilities to shoulder, especially for men, so when it is too much, it is over your reach, or u are a little bit blue that day, or fell in getting one thing, you can cry, for tears can wash away the sorrows,and tomorrow is another day.
