Are men allowed to cry? - Page 5

Can you actually allow or disallow someone from crying?

Crying when done by either gender is equally a turn off. Not especially emasculate for men but at a point you have to get your shit together. and look for realistic solutions to your problems.

Men have testosterone for a reason. Testosterone that gives them physical strength and not curves.. :) If nature bestowed them with physical strength - it also gave them mental strength. Crying is a weak emotion signifying lack of strength, resilience etc.. Which is why men don't cry. These days sensitive men are in fashion one who also strut and kind of show their curves.. lol.. yeah many men would think crying is in fashion but the fact of the matter is men don't know how to cry and they have that circuit missing in their brain..

I think this is a very important answer that needs to be apperciated. In one post you have touched on role of endocrine, musculoskeletal and neurologic systems and how they work together as well as behaviorial aspects of this issue. Add it to it the fact that you have beautifully connected it to human nature as in sensitiveness and human anatomy as in body curves. You finished it off with a brief comment on neurocircuitry of the brain.

Overall your point is that crying is not in genetic makeup of men however environmental factors these days have forced some men to express this behavior.

Thanks for this informative post.

Not genetic makeup but physiological characteristics... ..there is a difference.. btw what environmental factors.. - are you talking about global warming in general? 😆

in context of biology, the environmental factors or influence refer to things which are external/acquired and not representing human body i.e physiology, anatomy etc. what i meant was that since crying is not a trait of men (circuitry is missing) therefore if they cry then its because of external influence (for fashion) and not because its originating in their circuits.

physiological characteristics that are common to all men should be a result of genetic makeup of men.

anyway was just pulling your leg. lol

You're a man, you're not allowed to cry. You're a woman, you're not to have sexual desires and if say you have, you shameless creature, mention them to no one. 😳 I think we all know that social protocol runs our lives and we all mutually think it sucks. Don't we?

As far as this question is concerned, I'll tell you what. Crying in the middle of a large gathering is really hard. I am not talking about the attention-seeking crying nerds do to get extra time to solve their papers. I am saying, the crying which you really want to mash down. And if you cannot and cry in the company of like, 10 buff guys you hang out with and they're like 'dude, be a man' but you let yourself be for just a minute, it's courageous. Because the social pressure is actually so much, most people will mash the crying down. Crying in public isn't exactly a sign of strength, it gets ludicrous too, seems like you let your damn emotions get the better of you. But ultimately, it also means you are not afraid of what people might think. Which is er, kinda nice.
