05 Mar 10

Girls, we would like to know how you feel about guys who aren't afraid of showing emotion...to the point of shedding a tear. Do you think it's endearing or just wimpy?

Check out what our Girls have to say!
Lynne Says:
I guess it all depends on what they're crying about. If it's for a sad movie or something, I guess that's ok, but not a guy that cries at the drop of a hat, that is rather wimpy!
Megan Says:
Crying is to be left up to girls, guys are there to comfort!
Laverne Says:
I think its adorable!
Jenn Says:
Boys shouldn't be afraid to cry! Crying is an outlet of emotion, and no one should be 'robbed' of it. It doesn't take away from masculinity!
Nunu Says:
It would be nice to know that at least some guys have a sensitive side because most of the time boys hide their emotions...
Savannah Dingley-Nuttall Says:
If they are crying for a good reason then yeah sure, it's cute :) But not all the time!
Tashrika Adolph Says:
I think thats kinda sweet that guys cry but they shouldn't cry 4 just any old thing.
PORTIA Says:
I think that shows how much he cares because not many guys cry in front of a girl.
Thulie Says:
I think its really cute, shows how much your bf trusts you, and just how vulnerable they are around you...
Margot Davies Says:
I think it takes a lot of bravery for a guy to cry and I would feel flattered if a guy was comfortable and trusts me enough to cry if front of me. However, (and the same applies if you are a girl!) crying over every little thing gets a bit too much.
Prisca Mhlongo Says:
I think guys who cry are sweet cute and sensitive your sure that he will take care of you as sensitive understand a sensitive girl and know what wrong with her.
Simone Meyer Says:
It means a guy is comfortable around you if he cries, its so sweet. But I have no sympathy if your cricket team lost the cricket match!
Nomalizo Khumalo Says:
It is really exciting because not many guys show their feelings, guys who show their feelings are admirable.
Retlametswe MASILO Says:
I don't have a problem with a guy who shows his emotions, in fact I like that! Because I think guys who show their emotions are quite open in discussing issues, than those who try acting " all manly".
Bhavna Nunthkumar Says:
I think it's so awesome to know that he's not only muscle and good looks but he has the confidence to show his emotions and not keep it in just to keep the image of "being manly"
Tweety2Pi Says:
Well I say, we all human and we all have emotions. So why should others be discriminated against by their race? Crying is a norm for everyone, and I give great Respect for a guy who is not afraid to express their feelings.
Shannon Summers Says:
I think its really cute! Guys that are not afraid to show emotion are really confident, but if they are crying about lets say the teacher shouting at them then that's a real turn off!
kristy Says:
I think its ok if a guy cry's about something that is seriously sad but when a guy cry's at any given moment. It's not ok but guys that aren't scared of showing their emotions are sexy.
Kittengal Says:
I think it's endearing and actually very cute. It shows that they are not to arrogant and not ashamed of showing emotion. They shouldn't cry all the time 'cause that's the girls' job but a little now and then would be sweet. And for the record, that's when a girl respects you the most.
Maxine Campher Says:
I think that its only ok for guys to cry when they watch a really sad movie or one of their family members has passed away but other then that I don't think its hot for guys to cry!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Karli Coetzee Says:
It really depends on what they are crying about...but I think its sweet sometimes coz guys musn't be afraid to cry sometimes its normal cuz if u hold it in it will catch up with you ...**
Rizqah Hendricks Says:
mmm, that's tough. On the one hand, guys are there to comfort YOU, but us girls cant leave everything up to the guys! I think its cool if he cries, but he wants to act all macho and not show it even though you know he's crying =D
ane cramer Says:
That's tough I think boys should be able to cried but not like over the top. I think that they should cried over real problems because you cant keep it all in side you.
Tshepi Matloga Says:
Its kinda cute, as long as he don't do it in public cos that's a lil freaky
Dayna Kerford Says:
It just shows that he doesn't mind if anyone knows he's a softy. But it does depend what he's crying about. But I find it cute when a guy is not afriad to let loose his emotions.
Sam Williams Says:
It depends on why he's crying.... if someone died or something like that, then it's understandable...but they shouldn't cry over little things.... they can cry over a break-up but NOT in public.... that's just strange.
Leasha Says:
I think if a guy likes you enough to drop his efforts to impress you and let his emotions go ... is a good sign right?
queen Says:
i think its cute...
Aly Govender Says:
I think it shows that he's human (and a cute one at that) but crying for anything, like loosing a game, so totally turns me off!
nosipiwo qwabi Says:
I think it's actually cute. A guy who crys shows he is human and that he doesn't have any issues. It also helps for someone else to open up to them because they have shown they are not a brick wall but that they do have some kind of compassion.
Name Says:
I think it is very sweet if a guy cries. He doesn't hide his true feelings. If a guy cries, I just want to hug him and make him feel beter!
Tashy Melvill-Smith Says:
It really depends on what he is crying about. If he is crying for a good reason I think it's perfectly fine and normal, even the biggest of buff guys need to shed a tear every now and then. But on the other hand if they crying because a flower was stood on then they should try buff up a bit .
Clara Says:
I think it's really cute, I would love him for it. And also the fact that he trusts me so much that he is willing to cry in front of me... what a wonderful guy! <3
Alice Says:
I think it's brave. Guys always think that only girls cry and it's nice to know that they like you enough to let you see them cry. It's the sensitive side :)
Nomalizo Maqesa Says:
I think guys that cry are sooo cute, well depending on the reason of course. When you are going through a difficult time together and he isn't afraid to show emotions, I just think that is cool, it shows how he really feels. Who said guys were made out of concrete?!
Thoko Gumede Says:
I think it would be okay... I guess. As long as its not about something petty, like losing a phone.
FAY ABRAHAMS Says:
I TOTALLY THINK ITS CUUUUUUUUUUUTE IF A GUY CRIES, IT MAKES ME WANT HIM MOOOOOOOOOOOOORE^..^, BUT HE SHOULDN'T GO OVERBOARD.
Nicole Says:
I looooOoove it! It takes a real man to cry, so long its not over something small and stupid. Real guys show real emotion :-)
Bobz!!! =P Says:
I personally don't cry alot, so I would be at a complete loss if a guy cried in front of me.. It's okay for people to show emotion, for example if we watch a really sad movie, like iLolipop. But if he was crying over something like.. a lost game, or bad school results, I have to say that I really wouldn't like it.. :/
Aniqah Higgins Says:
I think its cute to show emotion but not all the time
Helen Dean Says:
I think it's cool,coz it shows they're not afraid to express their emotions.It's better than being a rock that shows nothing.
Santhini Naidoo Says:
I think its totally deep if a guy had to shed a tear, after all its the sweeetest thing and shows us guys can be deep!!!
ame Says:
Well, it depends on what the guy's crying about about and how he cries.
LEANNE Says:
I think it’s cute... It shows that the guy has feelings and that you can feel comfortable around him=) xx
larissa latchman Says:
I...think it's a bit creepy or actually alot creepy b'cauz you will have 2 feel sorry 4 the guy the whole time.....................
