Are guys allowed to cry?

No. That's what this board told me.

are you an effeminate 18-22 year old hairless twink who needs to be calmed down and dicked? Then yes. Otherwise, probably not.

TFW no bf who is afraid to cry and he finally opens up to me and I reassure him and comfort him and tell him I still love him and see him as a man

Only when they are getting plowed.

Yes but the vast majority of people really are not prepared to deal with it
It's a very interesting conversation to be had about feminism and the resistance to actually de-patriarchalize men among its proponents

I cry kind of a lot when I'm alone, usually because of sad music or because somebody is pissing to loud and I am overwhelmed by the sound. never infront of people

you are so cuuuute <3

or because somebody is pissing to loud and I am overwhelmed by the sound

Wow that's very autistic
Cute, I'd hold you while you cry from the scary splashes <3

not in front of anyone, no. do it by yourself.
it's your only option, realistically. people are fucking embarrassed when they see you cry, not just for themselves but for you as well. the few who try to "comfort" you are just doing it performatively, they care about your feelings, they care about your appearance. don't misunderstand, they are still embarrassed seeing you cry and want you to shut the fuck up about it too, but they think "comfort" is the best way to do that.
you're only allowed to cry in the sense that no one can stop you when you do. just know that the moment someone sees you cry, you lose your manhood in their eyes.
bottle everything up, at all times. keep the walls up, at all times. release your emotions alone, behind your walls. no one needs to see it. no one wants to see it.

Not publicly. If you wanna let the river run you gotta hide in the darkest corner. To be found is paramount to social suicide

*they don't care about your feelings

ngl if men cry it will turn me off forever

A man crying makes everyone uncomfortable, everyone
No matter how much they want to believe or talk about it being okay and good for men to cry, no one can get around that social conditioning, not male friends with each other, not partners, not mothers, no one

my bf cried once when he was talking about his dead mom and I just held him tight it was kinda cute

I cry a fuckton so it was funny to see what it's like

When alone sure, and really make sure your eyes will have time to dry before anybody comes

Yes, but if and only if I’m holding them in my arms and petting their hair

No, if you cry you should be trooned out if you want it or not.

my aunt died last year of cancer and out of everyone in my family who went, my mom, my two brothers, my three sisters, I was the only one who wasn't crying. I had to step away from the table we were sitting at during the memorial video to hold myself together, and it worked.
I would say I feel awful about being so jaded and hardened over the years that I can't mourn. but that would be a lie. I can't really feel at all. even when my cousin died several years ago. the only one at the funeral not crying. even when a childhood friend of mine killed himself after getting out of the army. the only one at the funeral not crying. grandma? no tears. amber? no tears.
but tears are no use. they don't do anything. they're presumptuous, constantly nagging those around you, desperately telling them that something is not right and something needs to be done, right now! the people I love don't deserve that. they have their own problems to deal with. what right do I have to make myself yet another one for them.
just do it by yourself. save yourself the headache. ignore the heartache.

not mothers

While i have many bad things to say about my mom at least she is the only person who i didn't feel ashamed of crying next to them

You need healing
Tears are for you to release emotion and tension in your system, not for others
It's actually detrimental to your health not just your psyche

yea a lot of feminists will advocate for men to be more open about their feelings, but they're still heavily conditioned to see a man who is open about their feelings as disgusting, disgraceful. those coffee mugs about "drinking male tears," lol. watch a man weep, catch the tears before they fall to the ground and walk away as he falls.

You need healing

I don't need it nor do I want it

Tears are for you to release emotion and tension in your system, not for others

yes, and that's why you do it by yourself, alone.

It's actually detrimental to your health not just your psyche

and why exactly is this a problem?

no

I'm Ftm... sorry...

kys

That's cool
But it makes a lot more sense because it wasn't beaten out of you like it would've been

Yes. Look at Jordan Peterson, one of the biggest crybaby influencers alive today, and yet he's immensely successful

<3
I will not cry ever again miss.
I will only do that if you see me as a girl

I don't think anyone respects jordan peterson for crying, in fact a lot of the dudes who give a shit about him hate the fact that he does cry lol
but it's interesting to bring him up because a lot of the same people who would say that showing your emotions is good and that crying is a healthy release are quick to make fun of him for doing just that lmao. probably because he cries about stupid shit. like all men, really, but his "problems" are much less legitimate than some dude crying over the death of a loved one.

I tried but i am a woman too retarded to kill myself and so I just take a bunch of aspirin and make people drive me to hospital

The humiliation I feel around the idea of crying in front of people is probably not quite as strong as someone raised male but it is still one of the most embarrassing concepts. I don't feel bad about crying if nobody sees

fuck i've never seen it before, but it's fascinating
still think he is just psychopath and manipulate with this

I liked Jordan Peterson in high school and I remember the moment I realized I didn't like him anymore, he was in front of this massive crowd talking about western civilization or something and started randomly crying and I was not feeling it. He starts crying in the middle of random topics and it feels kind of like an emotional manipulation propaganda thing

yes you can. i'll even give them chamomile tea and let u rest ur head on my chest...

it's interesting how ftms will generally get to a point where they pass as men in appearance but then realize that they're on the men's side of patriarchy now and are not allowed to show emotions or cry or mourn or any of that shit
but then mtfs are still just treated like men anyway lol
are ftms validated when they cry and cis men tell them to shut the fuck up about it, quit your bitching and be a man
