Yes, man can cry or they wouldn't be human. It does not lessen a mans manhood or ability to take care of , protect and provide for his family.

Of course, to cry is to show emotion. I have made my hubby cry on occasion. it's rare but it brings us closer each time! Go ahead, be a man and let out a few tears! I bet you'll feel better.

Yes it's fine for a man to cry. Too many men think that they cant cry because they are men and they are supposed to be tough and emotionless, but holding in your feelings will just make more problems! I dont think anything is wrong with a man showing emotions!

Humans are free to express their feelings it isnt that women are more emotional and men arent it is usually that women like to show their tears and men brood within themselves!

I think it's fine for men to cry and admit I have on occassion. But, men, in general are raised to believe otherwise.

I see know reason why a man shouldn't be able to cry. crying is a way of showing emotions and everyone is entitled to that whether they be a man or a woman.

Definently. Men need to release emotion as much as women do. Men need to see that it doesn't make you "weak" or anything like that. If anything, you are more of a man for being comfortable enough with yourself to express yourself honestly instead of hiding it all away out of fear of what others will think.

Why wouldn't it be? I understand that men by nature are different than woman, but we have certainly seen a few men cry in public. I have certainly lost some friends and relatives and have cried over them. I don't cry over sad movies and that type of stuff, but I don't see why men wouldn't cry at a time of loss.

Absolutely. I don't know why a man should be less human than a woman. It's not a sign of weakness to show your emotion.

It's fine, because all men have emotions and they are not always like a rock hearted all the time, for us (men), we will cry for serious reasons like if I lost someone that I love or more serious than that... we have emotions and feelings, we do cry like everyone else.

Sure it is ok for a man to cry. It shows me that he is sensitive and caring.

Yes. But not often.

I think men should cry more often. It is refreshing. I think I have seen my husband cry twice. Once while singing the national anthem and once while at a christian quartet concert.

Of course it is, men are human too. Wouldn't it be wrong to deny them the right to outwardly express emotion? I don't believe I would want to kno a man who isn't in touch with his feelings, I don't see how he could be an effective friend/lover.
