what do you think? Do you believe men should not show there emontions or do you like the fact that your boyfriend is comfortable enough to let his senitive side show.
Personally I'm glad my boyfriend can share things with me and is comfortable enough not to worry about crying in front of me, I like people who are kind, caring and senitive.
Guys do you feel able to show you emontions in front of your girlfriend?

I don't like boys crying :no:
when my ex came to break up with me he started crying, and then he went to tell my mum to make sure she looked after me and she said he was snivvling then and it made her cry!
Same here. When I broke up with my last boyfriend he cried, and I hated myself for a little bit. It's horrible. But I've only cried in front on a couple of ex's.
I'm in a LDR and when we are at the end of our time together and know we aren't going to see each other for ages then we both cry. I quite like it since it means I'm not the only one crying (I always start it off).
But yes crying is quite an awkward thing. In general I mean.
I'm a very emotional person (not meaning i cry and everything) but in a good way, i'm normally the one all my friends come to when they have problems, but with recent events the only ppl i've been able to talk to is my best mate, another friend who had something similar and mother-in-law. None of my other friends seem to understand.
But normally i let my emotions build up and try to work them out myself. but then sometime the best thing is a hug.
Won't do you any favours unless your bird is obsessed with you.
Known a couple of people crying to their girlfriends before and it's seriously cringeworthy. Both got the boot soon afterwards as i'd expected.
I'd find it very awkward if he (or any other men I know) cried frequently with little or no reason (like when they were watching Terms of Endearment for instance), but generally I don't think that's the case.
Seeing my Dad cry was the worst feeling in the world, it nearly broke my heart
It's fine with me (crying I mean), but seeing him cry is heartbreaking and usually provokes me. Tis a tangled web. A real bad one.
Guys who cry are emo pussies. If you need to do it, don't do it infront of people - least of all your girlfriend.
I wish i could be this manly.
I don't like expressing it myself though, I feel like I'm being weak and letting people down.
Why? We all cry and get down from time to time. There's no such thing as the perfect human...except me of course!

You don't always have to be strong. I'm trying to learn that too...
