  well, i agree with the sharing that men cry often when we are alone.
  
  however, the reason why we reframe from letting our emotions (or tears) flows is because we are the supporting pillar for the loved ones around us (missus, kids, gf, sisters, mum, etc).

  Death of dog as well. All other deaths must be met with stony-faced silence (for months, if necessary), but following death of dog it is permissable to cry like a child, at your desk at work, while clenching his leash in your hand.
  
  What's your mates?
  
  

  Cry when u want too... don't need to care whether u're a man or woman...
  Just like u have to smile with ur heart not to force a smile... or else it might lead to split personality.

  For me, girls cry because very happy mah, strike toto or lottery or finally getting married to a handsome man.
  
  And also hor, I cry everynite before i go to sleep, yawn till cry and tear come out, go for sleeping you know.
  
  Next very important, when we cry, try to cry for happiness, not the sad one ya, tears are made for joy. In this forum, sometime i also cry, but Laugh till cried... , thank all for making me laugh, especially Zarkie and his gangs.

  Real man shed blood but not tears.
  
  For a man to shed tears over a relationship is stupid. But if the tears are for the wife or his kids or parents when something bad happen to them then it is acceptable.

  i think ok for guy to cry over things which are important and truly heartrending
  
  but i know some guys who 'cry' to make girls feel touched la and all.. and if the incident is something very small, and he like PURPOSELY make sure u know he cry.. then i won't be sympathetic at all lah
