"I'm a man.....I don't cry!!"

This is why they need a woman they can trust, whose breasts they can lay against and be themselves without fear of judgment.

Hey Ahavati......exactly!!! What a great response.....thank you for the smile you just brought me.....purple smiles & hugs xo :)

I'm a man, and I cry when the occasion arrives.
I have cried about things all my life. Never felt
less a man. I'm a man, and I cry.

Hey SG...luvin your words.....I agree......showing emotions doesn't make you any less of a man.....it makes you a better one.....thank you.....purple luv & hugs xo :)

I fight not to cause of being told crying is a sign of weakness but there are times where it just happens

Kavik my friend.....in the right person's eyes it is not a weakness......it's a true emotion not ashamed to reveal......thank you for your words.....purple luv & hugs xo :)

I cry... because the world makes me sad...
JJ

Awe JJ......you're such a tender hearted soul.....thank you for your words......it makes me sad too......:( Purple luv & hugs xo :)

It's as others here have said, Impassioned one: society dictates.  And I add; some cultures are even harder on the male, which means it translated even worse for the female.  When men feel they mustn't cry, women die.

Hey Jade.....how right you are......Men are taught that it's not right to cry.......I can't imagine having hold all emotions deep inside me all the time......thank you for adding your thoughts.....purple smiles & hugs xo :)

this poetry emanates out of my vision of men most guys tell lies when they say O you are a loveliest woman as they only make her smile and intend to her lay and his machoooness display but the same man cries one in and he has just entered and swoooshed leaving her in the lurch she doesn't know what to do then the man cries oh my loving one hell i will try again and again as says again and then the second time he cummmmmmmmm my  to his love she succumbs and he cries again along with her we both came as said again and again...glad i th men's guys rescue came ..once again RL THIS ALL GUYS AND GALS says again as he cummmmmms...

Hey Again....you're absolutely right......Men do lie at times to get their way.....I've heard plenty that's for sure......I real Man though holds respect for a Lady and treats her that way.....they will also not be ashamed to share a tear with her......thank you for your thoughts here.....purple smiles & hugs xo :)

beautiful honest write lovely Flower I say let those tears flow..

love Crim

Precious Crim......yes yes......let the flow......it's a beautiful feeling when a man shares a tear with me......it's a true joining of souls to me......purple luv & hugs xo :)

I am that guy
taught not to cry
for the weaker your perceived

But the older I get
My eyes often get wet
so with your poem I must agree

Awe SlowG.......I know men have their pride......but to me tears are not a weakness but a show of a passionate heart......thank you.....purple luv & hugs xo :)

when I was a child I was beaten for crying and if I cried because of the beating I was beaten a bit more. Despite all of that or because of it I cry often and have never seen this as weakness - excellent true words in this poem and good advice for any man :-)

David thank you for sharing such a personal side of you......I will share this back.....I was whipped and if I didn't cry I would get the willow switch harder over my tush or legs wherever it landed.......I'm sorry you went thru this.....never a weakness my friend......it's a sharing of luv......purple luv & hugs xo :)

Beautiful Sun Kissed....showing emotion seems to always be equated to weakness, weakness translates to self doubt, self doubt morphs into vulnerability...a most "horrible" word...but when that state is shared with the right one, it is when it is at its most beautiful...With love - Sweet S xo :)

Awe Sweet S......your words are utterly beautiful......you understand completely what I was trying to convey......thank you my precious soul for sharing your thoughts with me......purple luv & hugs xo :)
