Uh....of course it's okay. "Boys don't cry" is a stupid idea. There is nothing wrong with crying whether you're a boy or a girl.

I so agree.

I'd even say that it's strange when boys don't cry.

Of course boys can cry.

I think there is something sweet and touching when a guy is secure enough to show his emotions and not be affraid of the whole tough guy image protrayed. My male friends are not as willing to cry as me - I cry at everything but the only time they really cry is when something real bad is going on.

On 9/11 they all bawled like babies and what do you expect so was I as we are mostly NYC born and raised. I also see them cry over girls sometimes, they will appear at my house and just wanna cry and talk to me. Recently my cancer scare caused them tears and ya know people who say that is pathetic for guys to cry is so, so wrong. Boys are human and feel the same feelings as us girls so why not let them feelings show huh? Why is there the whole Boys shouldn't cry? Is it beacaue guys are stronger and crying is a weakness? I dunno but I thing a good cry now and then is healthy.

It's a really bad idea for a guy to cry. Don't do it. And NEVER cry in front of a girl.

Please...that's whats wrong today - poor boys being told that they "can't"
cry. Of course they can & they should...I think it makes them stronger.

Now being a whiner is totally different - but that goes for both boys & girls.

oh please.

Why should men not cry? It's a natural thing and sometimes it's the healthy thing to do, like Janey said. I wouldn't think less of my bf if I knew he cried over certain things, or if he cried in front of me.
Women should cry when they need to, men should cry when they need to. Dont let stupid ideas about "men have to be the strong ones! and crying is weak! and women don't like weak men!" affect you.

Women are instantly turned off by any man they perceive as weak. That's truth. Just trying to give the guy a little advice.

Looks like I am different from women you know. Plus, crying doesn't tell if a guy is weak or not.

Then you hang around the wrong kind of women. A real woman knows that men do cry and that it's perfectly acceptable. Crying doesn't make you weak, but thinking that way does.

I don't disagree with you girls.

But society says and the vast majority of girls PERCEIVE that a man crying as a sign of weakness.
