why do you think you’re too masculine to cry? guys cry. when you think about it, girls personalities are different than guys, but they’re basically the same as you. pople cry. it’s just mother nature’s way of saying I miss you to the ones you loved the most. go ahead man, be a man and cry about it. it’s like my dad used to tell me “real men aren’t afraid of anything, including crying” haha

Let it out. No such thing as being too macho to cry. That to me shows your extreme feelings of loss and admiration for this man. Why would you want to conceal that? To do so, you will only be showing your human side, and that is to be admired. I’m sure you won’t be the only male doing so either. My condolences to you and for all concerned.

When people die you can cry. That is the only time if you are a man. If you get hit really hard you can’t cry. If your wife leaves you you can’t cry. If your dog dies you CAN cry. That is the only other time… cats don’t count.

haha, I like that ralph

crying can be some means to communicate and it can make us stronger. it doesnt mean that we cry all the time. it just means that when it’s time to cry, we cry. if we need it, we do it. the strongest man is the one that can admit weaknesses and use his weaknesses to be a strength. take care ok, god bless.
