To begin, is there any problem with men crying or showing affection? I personally hold that crying is a natural reaction and it helps personnel, by some means, to release some of the poisonous effects caused by stress and frustration. Myriad of studies have revealed that by discouraging little boys to express their true emotions contributes to much of the delinquency and self-centeredness and destructive kinds of competitiveness we see among men. Men who aren't afraid of a few tears and have been allowed to experience and express their feelings are more likely to become better nurturers and negotiators.

When it’s now justified for men to cry, for what reasons men should have been deemed to look natural when they cry are also an unresolved mysteries. It’s acceptable norm when men got touched by any emotional, dramatic scene from the movie they watched. Such moment is too subjective and ought not to be conveyed since what constitute a dramatic and emotional one, may differ from an individual to another. So, as long as it carries some significant values or sort of like to remain you some nostalgic events, it’s fine for you to express your emotional affection. It’s immaterial whether you got touched by Batu Belah Batu Betangkup (you know who), Ultraman (you know who) or Mohabatien Bollywood Movie (and you know who). Poor me, I recently watched 10,000 BC and I’m touched by Evolet.

In other circumstances, it is also an acceptable norm for men to cry over the lost of their beloved ‘things’. Lonely (it doesn’t mean single) men are normally forms close emotional bond with their laptop (me personally), rubic cube, new sony psp (you know who), ipod and other gadgets.

The demise of a loved one may also cause men to cry. It’s like a sharp paint deep inside your heart to lose someone you really love – pet, family member or anyone who dearest to your heart. The reasons for shedding a tear are justified and it is no longer remains a taboo if a man cries for the right reasons in public.
