On a serious note, yes. But not in public. Be strong around others who lean on you in times of hardship. Then, when alone you le it out for a few seconds then suck it back up and continue being a man

I couldn’t imagine being so insecure as to care what other people think about me crying.

You get over that in your late 20’s. Well at least most people do.

definitely an acceptable moment. that sucks, man.
We got irrationally mad at people who tried to console us by saying things like "it's just material stuff" or "all that matters is that you're safe"... Pro tip: Never say that to someone who just lost so much. It doesn't help.

i really don't care what anyone thinks about me crying, just seeing what everyone's thoughts are on the subject.

I cried like a bitch last Monday when I had to put my 13 year old lab down. I still get teary eyed on occasion. Not in front of anyone, though. Only at home and when my wife isn’t around.

I think the "man" who doesn't love his momma just might fail the man test.

I have cried 3x in the last 13 years.

I didn't cry when my mom or grandfather passed.

This isn't bragging, it is an admission that I'm emotionally crippled.

In a lot of ways, I am completely detached. I feel nothing. I lack empathy and nearly every emotion or even facial expression is manufactured.

My advice to the younger guys, don't be afraid to shed a tear.

I’ve been crying a lot over the past few days. My dad has been fighting cancer for years and he starts hospice tomorrow. I think that’s enough reason

I'll for sure cry when my dogs die......

Oh yea, I lied on page one when I said it was 7 years since I cried.

Dog died 2 years ago. I was definitely strong enough to handle that part without crying, but the wife and especially 2 young boys all crying are what did me in.
