We're talking about crying, here. Did you forget? I'm simply saying that crying doesn't solve anything expect make you feel better emotionally, which is damn near pointless if you haven't physically solved the problem. If you don't physically solve it, you'll be crying forever. Go ahead and cry if you need it, but at LEAST solve the problem after. That's my point.
my friend;s girlfriend [and my friend] disappeared last week, and they just found her dead in a pond a few days ago. cried my eyes out. loved that girl, she was fucking awesome. and it hurt bad to see my boy hurtin like that. fucking sucks. i also cried when my friend died after driving drunk.
See my thread man. I lost my best friend monday and we thought she was missing until they found her in a lake friday. Now picture that happening to someone you know. I'm a man and I haven't been able to not cry daily. Crying helps
It's not that I don't cry. It's just that I stop crying really fast. The moment I start to cry, I instantly realize crying is useless. So even before I shed the first drop of tear, I stop crying.

with all due respect to "skeptix" I can honestly say that I can relate to how you are feeling. unfortunately I found my one of my brothers, which committed suicide, & the other was found a year later also dead. It's been a very long time but I do sometimes still find myself in a moments of tears. It's burned into my memory. I don"t feel they suffer & I feel very selfish if its for me. so I don't know who I cry for. But Regardless I know it hurts. For all it's worth.........I wish I could ,& I hope this does in some way, help to ease your pain. I Honestly do.
i've cried in my girlfriends arms muerous times..and never felt any less of a man or guy Op we all human..
Probably conisdered un-manly but the whole "i are teh manly man" idiom is born out of emotional insecurity. It's healthy and reasonable to ry over something sad.
Your comic, super trooper was quite saddening. Thankfully my emotional states change too quickly to cry too very much. Only during times of real sadness or regret, and never more than a tear or two. Crying sucks.
I myself, haven't cried in years and I've been through A LOT of shit. I don't know why. Sometimes I just feel like crying when thinking about how my life has been turned upside down. It's crazy. But, anyway, I think it's a good thing to be able to cry. I've heard it helps a lot. I'd rather just keep the anger inside and choke it with smoke.
some problems you can never physically solve, like the death of a best friend. or the loss of a limb. I didn't forget that we're talking about crying, so try to refrain from talking down in that passive manner, I don't appreciate the condescension. Both are simply forms of catharsis, I don't know you missed that point.
And for those saying that crying doesn't solve problems, if the person is really depressed, then crying does actually help.
I'm not asking for approval or whether it's ok. I'm asking for other people's opinions. That's kind of what a fucking forum is for. Stop being a hater, thanks
Observe "men" who say it's unmanly to cry. First of all many of them aren't from our generation, as that notion is becoming more and more unpopular. Second of all, do they look happy?
i'm sorry to hear about your loss man, and the same shit's happening to me. my friend's grandma and grandpa who i was real right with passed away within three days of each other. then my old babysitter passed away a couple months ago. 2011 has been so shitty to me so far.
Those other 2 things were pretty sad. But I'd say this is an almost guaranteed "make you cry" video [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOAcRKZxjy4&feature=player_embedded]YouTube - Last Minutes with ODEN[/ame]
