yeah it is.

[-Soph-]

yes, as long as it's genuine.

well, crying is my way of relieving stress most of the time. people make fun of me because of that, but i don't give a poop. it's better than keeping everything inside and feeling alot worst.

I remember when my friend died.

All my otherfriends just stood there at the funereal and I started to cry, they all said 'PUFF!'

So I said 'If you don't cry theres something wrong with you'.

I think emoition shows how strong you are, kids at my school just call love - 'go out wid so and so' hate - 'c'mon let's batter him' jealousy 'i kan well batter you' and well they are just plain stupid.

Emotion helps you become something that people will understand more.

Its alright i suppose, but lets be honest - you don't cry in front of your mates or lasses. You just don't do it.

Males are human.
As an individual it is up to you whether you cry or not (sometimes it will just come out anyway) and there is nothing wrong with crying also just cause your Male doesnt mean you can't cry O_o
"OMG water is coming from your eyes!! your male you cant do that!!"
thats basicly the looks of it and gender doesnt mean you should show or hide your emotions. Show or hide it is up to you.

Wewt look at my rant =]

I don't cry. You can say I'm lying if it will make you feel better but I don't. I show emotions such as happiness, love, anger and so on. When I'm upset I get violent, but don't cry.

As to whether it's acceptable to show emotion, of course it is! It would be a jeopardization of freedom if males weren't allowed to show emotion. Crying should be done alone though, unless it's a funeral, otherwise you're just attention seeking.

Well, Anthropologically speaking, males nearly always seek dominance amongst each other, some tend to hide emotion to show they are "tough". Of course its ok to cry. A human mind reacts to emotion, different people react differently some get angry, some cry, some people self harm ect. I do cry and im not afraid to cry as I dont see male dominace as an importance, I see equality as the importance.

I dont see male dominace as an importance, I see equality as the importance.

I'm the opposite
