Men Don't Cry

[Point Of No ReturnParticipant 4074]

So, I talked to my sons, and told them that in the past, in the ‘olden days’ as it were, it was o.k. to go around saying that men don’t cry. I told them that there are advantages to not crying. Well, I was still not unc~~~ed at the time and my ex had to chime in when this ‘little talk’ somehow made its way out into the open. She said that I was conveying male chauvinism to my sons. She’s a feminist (wasn’t always) and started voicing a contrary opinion of course after all. Why would she do this, I thought. Then I realised, that it is to have a chance at weakening the boys. The feminist believes she can better manipulate a man that cries, as he then becomes used to it. She then sees her male opponent as displaying the weakness that she can attack. So, in my mind it’s NO, A MAN SHOULD NOT CRY! I will bring this idea to my boys. There are exceptions to this idea, and examples include: mourning a family member (or similar), crying in private, and other exceptions. Displaying weakness is not stealthy, especially in front of any feminist.

Know when it is your duty to give them zero explanations for your actions.

The sons of MGTOW must be re-educated as early on as possible. There has to be some leniency at one point for hormonal excesses during male puberty and early manhood, but things like ‘always wear protection’ and similar advice should be insisted upon.

Just tell the ex that when she believes that men should have a say in a woman’s abortion then she can have a say about whether a man should cry. No dick, no opinion. Or is all of that feminist bulls~~~ just bulls~~~?

She doesn’t know what it’s like to be a man, so she gets no opinion on whether or not he can cry. Just mansplaining life to your sons, preferably while manspreading. Because we can.

I don’t think i’ve ever seen a grown heterosexual man cry in public, except for when it’s excusable. When a man shows emotion he’s not trying to get something (unless he’s one of those gays who act like women). I personally think crying in private is fine. It’s as natural as taking a s~~~ but you need to have some control over it. After many years of SSRI anti-depressants i think lost the ability to cry even though i’m no longer using. This annoys me.

Women or children crying evokes a protective instinct in others, so there are evolutionary advantages for them to be able to do this in public.

Men on the other hand gain neither sympathy or respect for crying in public. Even at funerals, it creates a sort of uncomfortable awkwardness.

I won’t say that i’ve never cried. But whenever i have, it’s always been alone and in private.

Look crying for men is like a fine bottle of scotch. You don’t drink it often, but you bring it out once in a while to to check if the quality is still there. No different for emotions. I don’t show them much, but I’ll cry when I’m in a deep state of solace. Crying isn’t weakness, it is simply confirmation that I’m not a robot, but that I’m a human being.

Fuck bitches... literally and metaphorically

I think it matters why you’re crying. Crying because you sympathize with someone elses pain is fine. It shows your human. Crying when you are in a lot of pain, physical or emotional, is fine. But get over it when the moment has passed.

What I can’t stand is crying because you didn’t get what you want. Essentially throwing a temper tantrum.

I don’t care if your boy or girl, man or woman, that’s not acceptable.

Ok. Then do it.

I like the “no dick no opinion ” is the best way of telling the mother it’s not her call.
Tax guy nailed it!

Cried like a baby when my wife died. Didn’t cry at the funeral I was so numbed out it felt like I was watching someone else’s life. Had tears welling up but suppressed at the end of Gladiator and Ghost movies.

Sometimes when I’m down, I wish I could cry (in private), to release the tension, but I can’t. I just can’t.

Thought I was doing pretty good on the re-adjustment to life after brevement, but two years on I re-watched a video about Love by SeeThemTurn on YouTube. And just broke down sobbing. Just out of nowhere, uncontrolable shaking whimpering sobbing.

That emotion is always there under the surface.

Men are truely emotional. Women, pretend to be.

Men have tear ducts so crying is biologically normal.

I cry whenever I want too. The last time was 10 years ago. I control my emotions.

F~~~, I cried when the Astros lost the World Series. But seriously, great answers so far. I’ve never really thought about it, I just cry when I feel the need, which is practically never. “Real men don’t cry” may be an exaggeration (be wary of any sentence beginning with “real men”), but there’s some truth to it. Men don’t cry as much as women because we aren’t pussies.

Women are better at multitasking? Fucking up several things at once is not multitasking.

Depends upon what one does AFTER crying. Marc Anthony publicly wept over the body of Caesar; shortly thereafter He went to war…sounds good to me.

i’m here with you narwhal. my son is still a very young little boy but i’ve had a similar talk with him. i told him that if he’s in serious physical or emotional pain then it’s ok but if he’s only doing it to whine/get attention or just being frivolous then it’s pointless. i try to perceive accurately in each moment and context how upset my kids really are and if it seems overblown to me, i largely ignore it until they calm down and i tell them that that’s what i’m doing.

This body holding me is a reminder of my own mortality. Embrace this moment. Remember, we are eternal and all this pain is an illusion.

My workplace account…Years past now.
-The women of my workplace took their vaginal scalpels out to dissect and designate me as a gentleman wimp around them.
-Snowballed over the years off and on as they got their ‘boyfriends’ at work to cause me to stumble at their hands for amusement.(These guys would not push me outside)
-Suffered a stress breakdown after a physical accident at their hands eventually, hyperventilating in the process.
-Covering their asses after I had time off, I didn’t know at the time they covered it up preaching all over the workplace that they “made me cry” through their boyfriends for an offense I had supposedly committed towards them.
(Humiliation on top of massive injury.)
-My reputation their after excelling and doing well became the guy who cries and has no confidence or intelligence(You would be amazed what pictures those bitches had painted of me through a stress breakdown they had further fun with.)

I could easily now stomp on their boyfriends and husbands but would pay a price for it I can’t imagine.
(They also reported to the management that the stress breakdown I had is my psycho behavior so if I sneeze on their boyfriends or lash out at them, I’ll incriminate myself.)
Spent years being spoken down to by everyone at work with my workplace credibility, name, and identity trashed permanently.
I actually know what it is like to have an unwanted reputation as the “guy who cries” and ” cant take a joke.” Believe me it is destructive to your dignity and credibility as a man.

I think it’s all circumstantial and for how frequent you cry. Don’t cry when things are unfair, or if you’re or jealous.

Do cry at the loss of a loved one or family member, do cry when you overcome great adversity tears of joy. Do cry when you break your leg and the bone has pierced your skin.

Be careful when you show your pain, lots of people seek to destroy you on a mental level.
