Personally, crying for me is not okay, it's a sign of weakness and makes me feel like an idiot. It makes me feel no better. For other people though, I don't care whether they do or not, I just feel it shouldn't be over silly reasons and not in public. When people cry I'm like ughh don't know what to do with them.

I Voted "No" for the laughs.

Depends what you mean by crying and the context, for example i believe a guy should never ever cry, however if he loses a parent or something then i would understand if he dropped a few silent tears, that is acceptable. Then again if i saw a guy sobbing and wailing over some other shit, i would consider him a disgrace who probably listens to boybands and wears skinny jeans.

I think this is kind of silly.

Of course crying is okay, it's okay in public as well. When someone is crying in public, something I've seen many a times, usually we don't even find out what the reason is unless you go ask them. So just pretend it's something big, even if it's not.

Crying isn't a sign of weakness, it's like saying, blinking when you get dirt in your eye is a weakness! It's a natural response. Crying stabilizes you, it doesn't rattle you more. If you feel upset at yourself for crying after you cry, that's another issue you should take up with a professional.

Crying is perfectly fine, unless you're crying for truly silly reasons, such as losing a piece of food; even then I don't think that's too much. One could feel they've lost so much in life that losing little things sets them off. We do not know other people in depth nor their whole life the moment we see them. So we can't just assume they're crying for little reasons if it seems as though they are.

Why should guys never cry? Do guys not have emotion? This is just stupid to me. Bottling emotions is never a good thing to do, that just leads to more stress. More stress causes problems on the body and you may act in a foul manner outwardly. Is that what we really want just because a guy wont cry for a minute and get on with it? Guys are strong blah blah and girls are weak. Since crying is a weakness it's okay for girls because girls are weak, but bad for guys because they have to show strength. I'm not sure where all this started, wherever it did start must've been a country of angry stressed guys.

I think its ok to cry just don't do it in public if you don't want others to ask you if your okay.

Humans are born with the ability to cry, so why wouldnt it be ok to?

I think it's fine to cry... in private for me.
It's impossible for me to cry in public.

But I don't think it's wrong for anybody else to cry.
