<p>I was inspired by the crying thread. :)</p>
<p>I would comfort him or attempt to comfort him.</p>
<p>If I didn’t know him, then I’d probably continue walking unless he seemed unstable or in physical pain. I’ve found that some individuals would just opt to be left alone in certain situations. If he was my friend though, then I’d likely stand/sit next to him, upon which I might attempt to converse with him regarding what initiated his current condition.</p>
<p>hug him. talk to him. make him laugh.</p>
<p>Would you think any less of the guy if he cries?</p>
<p>ITT: OP was not inspired by a crying thread, he actually cried.</p>
<p>If I knew him, I would try to comfort him…</p>
<p>^^ Nope, I wouldn’t think anything less of him. :)</p>
<p>Awkwardly, and rather uncomfortably, pat him on the back and then slip away to go take a shower and rid myself of his dreadful tears and anguish.</p>
<p>Make him laugh.
It always works. =)</p>
<p>And I’ll tell him I’ll always be around.</p>
<p>Try to comfort him, even if he’s a complete stranger.</p>
<p>
+1 to you (seriously [assuming that you are being serious]).</p>
<ul>
<li>rub pat his back because I wouldn’t be sure if he’s be comfortable with me hugging him. But if he seems okay with it I’d hug him.</li>
</ul>
<p>-try to cheer him up or make him laugh</p>
<p>-tell him it’s not the end of the world and he’ll be okay.</p>
<p>Am I the only person who thinks publicly crying is… weird? It’s not just relegated to guys [though it does seem odd, but just because you don’t see as many guys crying in public], I don’t cry in public. I just feel like it makes me so… vulnerable. I mean, I’ll cry in front of friends if something is terribly wrong or if I’m PMSing, but I can’t remember the last time I cried in public [that’s a lie, a frenemy threw a football at me a month ago and it hit me on the head. But I stopped quickly enough]. But still… I usually just excuse myself and go cry in the bathroom. I mean, I don’t really want to burden all the people around me with my emotional display [because that’s all it really is, a display]. Because then they would be socially obligated to comfort me and then it’s uncomfortable for everyone.</p>
<p>I’ve seen a guy crying silently amidst the crowd, right at the mall.</p>
<p>He seemed so vulnerable and defeated.</p>
<p>It depends on the situation and whether I know him.
I experienced a friend crying the other day - he and his girlfriend broke up recently and suddenly it was just too much for him to handle (he just graduated, is going to move away from home this summer to start college. Many things going on). I don’t see anything wrong with it. Guys have feelings too, of course it’s okay if they cry!</p>
<p>If I saw someone I know crying I would comfort him (or try to) and just sit there and talk about it if he wanted to. This always depends on the person since people are very different.
If it was someone I didn’t know - well, that would definitely depend on the situation.</p>
<p>I’d lol.</p>
<p>Okay, not really. I’d probably pat his back and say, “There, there.”</p>
<p>
I feel this way.
But, if he were my friend, I grip his shoulder tightly or lean my head on his shoulder…because that’s my awkward way of showing stifled affection to those I care for. :)</p>
<p>Depends on the situation really.</p>
<p>If it’s someone I don’t know, or someone I barely know, I’d leave them for people who actually knew them to help. When I’m crying, I really don’t care for strangers comforting me.</p>
<p>The only time I’ve ever seen my boyfriend cry was when we watched Marley and Me, and I ignored it because he was trying to hide it, it was cute.</p>
<p>I recently saw the guy I’ve been best friends with for three years cry for the first time and I gotta say, it was unnerving. He’s kind of a rock to me, always happy and ready to encourage me when I’m down. It was the last day of a show with a group of actors we had been working with for three years, him crying about that shook me so much I ended up just sitting and talking and crying with him. </p>
<p>Eventually all of us in the show were crying and the director delayed the performance 15 minutes so we could all pull ourselves together and re-apply makeup >.<</p>
<p>Yeah… not for public crying. Not for crying anyway. I have never seen a guy cry in my life. I will never cry in public, but nothing could cause me to anyone(And before anyone says rejection from MIT, remember I have allies at other top schools).</p>
<p>No, I wouldn’t think any less of a guy who cried, in public or anywhere else. Crying is a human expression of emotion; men are human, so it’s OK for them to cry too. If you’re bawling in public something is obviously very wrong…I’d walk up and ask the person if they are going to be alright, maybe give them a hug…see if they need anything else.</p>
