<p>I always get confused with those people who look like they’re laughing when they’re crying or vice versa. </p>
<p>They should have to hold up a sign or something.</p>
<p>I am a guy and I sometimes cry at sad parts in movies etc…lol
I cried during “Crash” when the little girl saves her dad from being short or so it seems, I cried during “Hotel Rwanda.” I also cried whilst reading “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” when the little girl died (can’t think of her name atm :P). Tbh I had been reading it for like 8 hours straight to finish it for APUSH so I might have gone a little insane lol.</p>
<p>Doesn’t crying also show that a guy has emotions? Would you rather have an emotionless jock or a nice guy with feelings?</p>
<p><em>sings</em></p>
<p>♪ I’m too sexy for my shirt, so sexy it hurts…</p>
<p>Crying is an expression of strong emotions, the intensity of which could actually be increased by the masculinity of the person expressing them (meaning that it’s often very masculine to cry).</p>
<p>Meh, in general, no crying.</p>
<p>Crying is fine when:
-A loved one dies
-You visit military memorial sites</p>
<p>Tearing up:
-Pet dies
-Get married, etc.</p>

Expressing emotion at appropriate times in the appropriate forum is to be expected of any human being. When I say appropriate, I am referring to a well-gauged sense of social dynamics in addition to emotional maturity; both of these things are both intangible and difficult to determine in and of themselves.
That was way more of a qualifying answer than I had hoped to give, but it really comes down to those two things for me…which is probably why double-standards are also such a gray area. I digress, though.</p>
