Is It OK For Guys To Cry? [Please Read OP First]

[Thuja 3,658]

Men are allowed to express their emotions too.  Cry as much as you want, get it out of your system.

I learned the hard way that bottling up your emotions poisons you whether you’re male or female. If you need to cry go ahead and cry. It takes a stronger person to acknowledge something is wrong and release emotion than it does to pretend everything is cool when it isn’t.

No ya weakos 

Nah jus joking it's fine if its healthy crying that's good for your health. constantly crying might not be a good sign though 

[Rainbow Cloud 16,291]

Yes but I don't think it's good idea for either men or women to be too sensitive and cry all the time over the slightest thing.

I'll admit that I do cry sometimes but I won't do it in front of anyone as it's not seen as the done thing and a sign of vulnerability so I just bottle it up till I'm alone.

As an obvious answer, yes it is okay for anyone to cry if needed too.

For me, I don’t like making a scene so I tend to take it somewhere else or try to bottle it up. I mostly cried when I’m emotionally upset.

Some men never cry. No matter how emotional the situation is. I find them scary somehow, like they don't have a soul. Know this for a fact (that they don't cry) makes me wonder if it is a biological thing. No one has 100% control of their emotions, no one.

This is  a grey are thing.

Honestly, I say yes but not too much.

There are times where breaking down is ok. Crying is a biological mechanism to relief stress anyway. But crying about small things, now that's a no no that should be applied to both sexes.

Everypony should toughen up to a point, without losing their capabilities to express their steongest feelings.

Yeah, no one wants to end up like this kid:

There's nothing wrong with crying. It's a normal human function that's necessary for a healthy mind and emotional state. It doesn't mean a person (male or female) should be sobbing 'round the clock or using it to gain special treatment, but when it's necessary, go for it.

I cry, because my scooter helmet cannot close the visor, and at those speeds the air just automatically make the tears flow!

[dead account 2,703]

100% okay! I'm even okay with others doing it when I'm around, because I love to help. But I personally wouldn't do it in front of others, because showing any strong emotion is embarassing to me.

Crying is a natural reaction to a wide multitude of things. It shows happiness, sadness, anger- and to hold it in causes many mental health problems. People should be allowed to express themselves as needed and if they need to cry- let it happen! W have tear ducts for a reason.
