Can men cry?

Creeker
By Creeker

I know this weird question. But well, this is life of mine. My parents started looking for wedding proposals for sister. Just heard. Am howling in despair.

Am kind of too attached to her. I cant start imagine her married.

Is it normal for men to cry in such situation? I know i sound sissy, or am i?

What say forum? I hate it, but i cannot crying stop!

Thank you, for kind comments 2 me. My sister being married, i attached very much to her. I am not there to oversee things, i wanted to.

I wrote it yesterday because i was in sad mood, i suddenly hear about it. I come to term with it. Thank you all for reassurance.

Your words helped, me being in country so far away.

Thanks again, all!

Jauntie, i happy for her, please dont misunderstand what i write!

Ah I wasn't serious King, I was making a play on the use of his word "can" rather then "may." I was being a grammer witch. :P

I know someone who does, all the fingers that you got are not the same and ... I don't consider this feature in some men [Can't Cry] a sign of strength or the men who cry [Weak].

The first type is weird, it is a sign of being cruel or having a cold heart.

The second type is sensitive, it is normal sometimes to cry your heart out to let it out.

crying is a nice way to relax. but u shud cry like a woman and i cant really do that so it is useless for me.. just a drop or 2 doesnt help u relax.

I think the exact sentence in my brother's speech was 'thank goodness she will now be someone else's responsibility!'

He was always a bit of a wag, but to this day I'm unsure whether he was serious or not.

HA!

No men cannot cry. It is a physical impossibility. They are born without tear ducts.

It's normal for a man to cry..But I have no idea why you're crying when your sister is about to get married to someone!!I think you should be happy for her...

Jauntie,if your brother sounded relieved when he sent you away,I wouldn't blame him.Who doesn't like some 'peace' at home???

By jauntie• 2 Oct 2007 09:53

My brother (in the absence of my father) was the one delegated to 'give me away' when I married. He sounded rather relieved in his speech at the wedding :D

I guess I don't know what religion Creeker adheres to, although his profile says he's from New Zealand. (not that that gives me a hint either).

Also don't know what age his sister IS ! Very young?

Anyway, whatever, I'm sorry to hear you are so upset by events Creeker.

Hi Oryx, thanks for the stereotype! Yes, some men here will most certainly cry if one of their falcons dies. They build up a relationship with them in the same manner as some do with their pet cats and dogs :)

hey........ u are not crying as a man rather as a brother so go ahead and cry in louder volume coz it has no effect on the reputation of men

Usually men only cry when their football team loses the FA Cup.

or depending on nationality other things:

ie Qatari - trashed landcruiser/dead flacon

Nothing wrong with a good howl...it's healthy to let your emotions out instead of bottling them up. Probably you feel protective of her and see her very much as still a little girl. Also it means a change is coming and quite a major life change at that. Change is never easy but you'll come out of it allright when all is said and done.

Just try to support her and help her to make the right life decision she is now faced with. Her happiness is what is important here.

Good luck!

all feelings are for human. i think that's normal.

we are human beings with the same emotional content as women. often a man does ot cry until he reaches a very high threshold, but after that he "opens the dam and lets the reservoir flow".

If you feel strongly about something, and you cry for them, its not wrong, its a beautiful emotion, thats all it is. dont ever be afraid to be who you are and do what you really want to do because of society's stereotypes.

cheers

dont be afraid to be weak, dont be too proud to be strong

just look into your heart my fried, that will be the return to yourself,

the return to innocence.

the path of excess leads to the tower of wisdom
