Why Men Don’t Cry
Many of our female audience, wonder why the age old question of “Why Men Don’t Cry” has always been answered by the standard phrase that was taught to us, by our fathers and peer groups from birth, that we don’t let our emotions show. We are tough and much like the British “have a stiff upper lip”.
But the real fact that many of the testosterone clan don’t want our fair skinned beauties to know, will now be revealed right here, right now at MOB.
While I am sure we will get much hate mail and maybe even death threats in revealing the real truth. It is finally time, to let all the world to know why men don’t cry in front of others.
It isn’t something we are proud of, but it is high time we reveal the truth and then and only then can we finally get in touch with our feminine side.
Please be warned this is a very disturbing video and for those of you who would like to join in and send in your videos here at MOB, so that you too can finally rid yourself of this deep secret, that many of us hold tight within ourselves to the grave.
So free yourself and send in you own videos, it is a freeing feeling that we should all be proud of and no longer hide.
We like to thank Wilbur McNoodle for sending in this compelling look at the inner sanctum of men shedding tears.
What a real man looks like when he cries:
The other main reason why most men will never reveal a true heart wrenching cry, is because like Wilbur it was exploited and used to sell products. Just SHAMEFUL. (also disturbing that Popeye’s could ever think of running out of chicken, MY GOD!!!)

Real men do cry, but not over Popeye’s running out of chicken, unless they really love the stuff. When men cry for a good reason we still don’t like it to be known because it could be taken as a sign of weakness.
You are a crazy man Glenn. You really ear. I’ve seen lots of men cry, but never over Popeye’s chicken. KFC maybe, but not Popeye’s. Bwahahahahahahaha.
Have a terrific day. Big hug.
the only thing I can think of here is Bwahahahahahahaha.
Real men don’t cry, they throw things and blame it on me, I mean someone else.
That was shameful.
Oh My, it wasn’t me, it was the red head over there with the baseball bat officer…….
I grew up with 5 brothers and I have 3 sons and I have worked construction with the toughest rednecks and I have to say that I have witnessed many men shed those emotional tears on many occasions.
Now I agree that it has been an old rule of thumb that men do not cry o r’ real men’ that is….That was true in a time when men wore the pants and women wore the dresses and no one stepped outside of that mold.
These days…men are just as much in their right to cry as a woman and it is just as effective for us to see a guy break down and show he is human as it is for a guy to see a woman in turn.
I truly think it is a good thing as tears are not gender specific and if God wanted them to be then not only would woman be the only ones to be able to give birth but we would also be the only ones able to cry~
Awesome topic~

Plenty of me cry, they just don’t want anyone else to know that. It is a well kept secret. How could they possibly be that weak to really cry??? Good subject Glenn. Take care and hope you are doing well.
Actually my son the other day accused his father of not being normal because he has never seen him cry: “even mum cries but you, you never do and that’s not normal”. I am not sure what was the whole disagreement about but my son had a good point there. I only seen my ex-husband cry once which was the day I told him to leave.
I cried when I saw this article, Mr. Glenn. It was gut wrenching!
It is so sad to see men crying over Popeye’s chicken. Hahahaha!
Nothing sexier than a man who cries for you, or even better, in the face of injustice inflicted upon others. My late grandpa never cried until the day of my grandma’s passing. I cried at such a tender testimony of love. Now, I just got teary eyed. pffft
Such a nice post Wilmaryad, thank you for stopping by
You are very welcome, Glenn. I’ve been away for way too long. Good to be back
What more can I say, Glenn? This post made me cry a river, LOL!
Silly Lainy, love ya
I’ve got to say it particularly creeps me out to see men cry. If a man cries, somebody had better be dead.
And then we wonder why I’m single…
Hmmm single and not turned on my men who cry, any correlation? See how hard it is for guys, one hand we get told to find our feminine side then if a women sees us shedding tears, it’s check mark against us. Which way to we go??? Why is it OK for a women to cry and not a man? Although I know most men never let anyone see them cry, we do, and it seems the older we get the more the tears fall easier, must be the hormones ah?
men today are a pathetic lot sadly, most would have been better drowned at birth you live in ropey times .
good luck
I’d never open-up to a woman who runs away at the first sign of weakness, there are so many fish in the sea it’s not worth bothering about.
I performed a social experiment once and allowed myself to cry and ball in-front of my girlfriend. The reaction was double-minded. On the one hand she treasured the experience, on the other-hand she became much bitchier. She was more unstable and confused about how she felt about me. I was particularly amazed at how bearing male weakness could have so much power over another human being. It told me that our species is just not used to this sort of thing.
I’m quite skeptical of evolutionary psychology, but for those of you with the negatively-charged comments in this thread, you’re tipping your hand! You’re showing me that many are very fearful of how fast mankind is changing / evolving (perhaps aided by the massive surge in communications technology in the past three decades). Gay marriage, bi-sexual relationships, corporate feminists wearing the pants, polyamory, bad-boy metros, cougars and boy-toys, all of this coming out of the wood-work in recent years.
I believe that humanity is going through a major transitory period in its evolution. This period may last for another hundred years or another decade, it’s hard to tell. Women, gatekeepers of sexual reproduction, are quite conflicted about male prospects. Her primal instincts tell her to choose the strong and insensitive male, her Superego tells her to choose the intelligent and sensitive male. The former archetype was necessary for survival early in man’s history, the latter is necessary for survival today.
It would appear that the fate of mankind’s evolution going forward rests upon the shoulders of women. Choose the insensitive but strong male and the civilized world will gradually disappear. Choose the sensitive and intelligent male and mankind will continue to move forward. It will be interesting to see who women choose in the coming decades. Mankind will move forward though, whether it happens today or happens another several hundred years from now doesn’t make a huge difference in the grand scheme. This quibbling about gender roles is simply reminiscent of growing pains.
My perspective is unique on this topic as I was raised in a conservative Christian family quite conventionally opposed to non-traditional gender roles. Though God gifted me with a brain and a unique set of traits that have left me to believe that mankind is far more malleable and adaptable than I had been previously lead to believe.
Growing-up is hard to do.
I belive its okey for men to cry, atleast it should be, lets say, first time i watched titanic i cried because i imagined if i would have lost my wife or beloved one in any accident or such like. By crying i mean tears not crying out loud like a baby.
Crying? a sign of weekness? showing that you actually care about someone, clearly thats a bad thing..
It feels good to cry, its a unique feeling wich every person in the world should have a need of, the world would be a much better place if people would care more about each others.
Girls that think it’s ridiculous for men to cry, simply aint wife material.
It feels like the word love has lost it meaning on later years just as hate..
I’m old fashioned British and I never cry, I see it as a sign of weakness in man to cry , generally I think men today are pretty pathetic soft as hell .
anyway what I admire is the stiff upper lip or someone who laughs or is cheerful in adversity , I think people generally live to soft lives .
my father brought us up to not cry , he would also do things like take me on long walks as a child and if I looked tired and wanted to sit down, he would say things like stand up your not as tired as you think you are, take your hands out of your pockets, if you feel tired walk about a bit stretch a bit till it passes .
stoicism being able to endure things are virtues
anyway crying is silly illogical and men shouldn’t be encouraged to do it
