Endycia said: No they don't. What happened to the ''everyone reacts differently'' thing? Now you're saying that if a guy doesn't cry river, that only means he didn't give a shit. Talk about being judgmental.Crying because your girlfriend left you, I'm pretty sure that if you loved someone for several years and it trully was deep love, if the girl left you, you would cry rivers. Everyone does, unless you don't give a shit about your relationship. Endycia said: I admitted to dressing up in women's clothing in the ''Nail's'' thread, so I am definitely not trying to act tough. When did I ever say I was a tough guy? I'm just stating the obvious: ''Crying over bullshit isn't manly''.Seriously it still amazes me how you people tend to judge others and act so tough in the Internet or even IRL, People have diferent ways of reacting to things, criticizing them because of such is just plain dumb. You need to grow up and start facing reality if you think that men are pussies because they cry due to the examples that you gave. |

Yes, how you react to and deal with hardship can definitely show what kind of person you are, whether you're a wimp or you're not. I'm not trying to set up an ideal here, that's just the way things are. If a man cries often and for silly reasons, then he's acting more like a woman would, and since when is it manly to act like a woman? |

She might have been referring to the adherence of gender roles, which tend to be narrow minded in nature. I could be wrong; if I am, then count me on the ship instead. The sooner they go, the better. Everyone cries. It isn't a sign of anything other then being human. |

Sapewloth said: Some people believe that giving birth and breastfeeding are potential acts of manliness. We all have our own ideas of what constitutes manliness, and in my opinion, crying like a little bitch is not fitting of someone who wants to be a man.Yep, that's basically what I meant.

| Yo Pirate, can you prove to me objectively that that is what a "pussy" is or that that is actually wrong for men to do? You can't, it's an opinion. And he's not leaving any options out, which also makes it a fallacy. Crying over a sprained ankle is dependent on how well you take pain, if that girlfriend meant a lot to you and let's say you would have gotten married, then you could have a reason (but even if this situation wouldn't happen, it would be the same anyway), maybe watching Marley & Me reminded him of one of his own real life situations or maybe he correlated it with something else, that implies real life experience. Anyway, why don't you guys try to take out the big guns? I've been bored these days. |

| If I cry, it's because shit's sad and stuff. I don't cry due to (physical) pain though. |
／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼ |
| That's a strawman, I've never claimed that it's manly or not, or feminine or not (by the way, these are also subjective, but let's just say that we have a "universal" one, to make this fun). That's not my point, my point actually clearly states that masculinity is useless (just like femininity), as it proves to brings a lot of disadvantages and little to no advantages. Pain seems to be tolerated by women a lot more than by men, because of estrogen they say, but they're still debating about such things, to me it looks like it still tilts towards women as men's toleration of pain is just a facade most of the times considering how "masculinity" works. If only you could have read my responses though, you would have had a chance to fabricate some idiotic argument that has no room for objections (which in itself is a fallacy, but it's hard to see most of the times). |

That's the problem. |

"...men are more motivated to tolerate and suppress expressions of pain because of the masculine sex role, whereas the feminine sex role encourages pain expression and produces lower motivation to tolerate pain among women." That's the problem. It began with "One possible explanation suggests that..." (from the paper); ergo, it is a hypothesis, not a theory (yet). The part we do know is that in studies women do tend to report less of a tolerance; whether or not that is has a basis in gender roles, this research hasn't concluded. It definitely is a plausible hypothesis though and I would look to see more research regarding this. |

| Crying is just a way to express feelings, there's nothing weak or strong about it. |
| "There is no sorrow if you are prepared" |
| This question is incredibly subjective. I wouldn't say its a bad thing though, can't really say much more about it. |

| Every person in a certain time in their life will cry for many things losing a beloved family member , failure , and there other stuff. I find it important like any emotion we have if you suppress it you will get some psychological issues . I would say a sign of strength . |
| It's neither. being strong or weak has nothing do with crying or not. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
