is it proper for a guy to cry over his girlfriend for any reason whatsoever? I have seen so many situations where girls cry over guys but not vice versa. So, the question is, "Is it proper for any guy to cry over his girlfriend?"

Are you saying you wouldn't mind if a guy expresses that freedom and cries before you. And that you won't see him as not being man enough.

Depending on how you define on proper, but I don't see any reason why a guy should not cry at all, be it for or because of his girlfriend or for any other reason, except if it's against the law to do so. Guys are also creatures of emotion capable of laughter and of tears, some are just tougher than the others but all could cry even over his girlfriend.

If you put it that way, guy will cry also, but I see that man crying as a weak man otherwise he his supposed to control his emotions.

Of course it's proper if that's how he really feels. You say you haven't seen guys cry. Well, that's not surprising, they usually wait till there in thier room with the door closed. Am I right?

I think guys cry over their girlfriends far more often than they would admit to. I would guess that it happens a lot. Guys and girls do tend to handle things differently, though. It seems to me that girls get emotional while guys tend to get physical. If a girl gets upset, she might cry, while if a guy gets upset, he might punch something or someone. In any case, I think it's normal for a guy to cry over his girlfriend if he upset.

Do you mean getting physical is more or less like crying? Cos I know there are times when the man gets physical to do a job or in other cases to protect his ego.

I believe it's proper for a guy to cry over his girlfriend if he really love his girlfriends deeply!Because love is a deep feeling and sometimes it can hurts lovers very much that they can't help but crying for themsefl even if they are boys or girls!

welcome to the wonderful world of mylot jam. guys are human too so we have all the right to cry over a girl specially when we are really hurt. the only question here is the reason behind why crying. if it is not worth it then it is just a waste of time. if you did something that this girl was hurt then you had regrets then nothing bad to cry. i guess it is proper with the right reason. girls should cry too if the reasons are not worth.

crying your heart out over a girl does not make you lesser to be a man, real men cries too. i salute men who cry over heartaches because it just mean that they are really serious with their relationship, and that makes them a man. so for me, there is nothing wrong with that. my husband used to cry when we have fights and when i am almost giving up, this makes me feel loved and secured with him.

i feel that if a guy doesn't cry over his girlfriend, the emotional feelings arent there. he doesn't really seem to care about his girlfriend as much
