there was a bloke crying on come dine with me on foxtel before.
look just forget i started this topic please.
I've seen blokes cry;
at funerals
sick friends bedsides
when told a kid is sick
when talking about a childhood trauma
when breaking up
when child walks for first time
at birth of child
at death of dog
not all same bloke. I generally am very moved if I witness man tears in the flesh. A rare and brave thing for a bloke to do. IMO
when the chin goes, it's panic stations!
actually, i find it completely endearing...
unless it's a recurring feature.
I've seen men cry plenty of times. Although I think I've only seen my Dad cry once, which was when the dog died.
warning.
yes funerals and dogs are real dude tear jerkers.
what about during a movie?
I cry at happy things, mainly. A couple of particularly bad funerals would be the exception.

yeah, beaches was tear fest, really hard going.
Also during the ghost whisperer. Every fucking time
my dad gets teary when he talks about an old sheepdog of his, and he gets teary when he makes speeches.
men crying makes always alarm me for some reason. not that crying men aren't moving.
Too funny Tangy!
Not a movie, but my younger brother asked me whether I cried at the end of the Lord of the Rings books. I told him I did, and I asked him if he cried. 'Yeah'.
i think my dad would start crying if melbourne won the flag.
i've only seen him cry twice. once at his mother's funeral and when the dog died.
he accidently ran over the family cat once but the animal was quickly rushed to the back of his ute and he hoofed it out the driveway before i worked out what was going on.
and another time he gave up smoking and had a fight with my mum. i thought he was crying but he was just sitting on the steps with his forehead in his hands. he went back on the darts after that.
i cried when my dog died. i'd fed him every day for twelve years. that's some heavy going shit for a young lad.
if this doesn't make a man animal lover cry then there is something wrong

I remember feeling mildly freaked out when I first saw my Dad cry at the age of 8 after his Dad had just died. But since then I've seen him cry loads of times. He cried way more than my mum. He cried at my graduation, at my debutante ball, at my 18th birthday, at my 21st birthday, last week on the phone...
I think it's ultimately charming to see how much humans care for/about people/things. Doesn't matter if they are a dude or a lady.
A guy who can shed a tear really can drive females wild—among mice, at least.
According to a new study, male mouse tears contain a sex pheromone called ESP1, which makes female mice more receptive to mounting.
While sex pheromones are known to have similar effects in other animals, the new study shows for the first time how the interaction works ''at the molecular level and also the brain level,'' said study co-author Kazushige Touhara of the University of Tokyo.
Male mice shed tears to keep their eyes from drying out. As they groom themselves, the tears—and the pheromone—get spread around their bodies and nests.
When female mice come in contact with a male or his nest, they pick up the pheromone via a nose organ called the vomeronasal, where the pheromone binds to a specific protein receptor.
''She has to touch it, because this is not a volatile compound like a fragrance,'' Touhara said, referring to the ease with which some chemicals turn into vapor.
Upon contact, the pheromone is sent to sex-specific regions in the female's brain. The female mouse is then three times more likely to engage in what's called lordosis behavior, a posture shown by many animals in heat in which they thrust their rumps and tails upward.
Tears in Denim: Top 10 Songs that Make Men Cry
Tears in denim: Top 10 songs that make men cry Christine Kellett
Sentimental R.E.M ballad Everybody Hurts has been voted the song most likely to make men cry.
In a survey by songwriters and musicians group the Performing Right Society for Music, published online, the 1992 hit topped the list of men's top tear-jerkers, followed by Eric Clapton's Tears in Heaven at number two.
Leonard Cohen's stirring Halellujah came in at number three ahead of Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares 2 U.
U2's With Or Without You, The Verve's The Drugs Don't Work and Bruce Springsteen's Streets of Philadelphia also made the top 10 for their power to reduce men to tears.
While the predictable themes of love, loss and heartbreak feature prominently, PRS for Music chairman Ellis Rich said it was specific lyrics that were the key to drawing such a strong reaction.
''A well-written tear-jerker is one that people can relate to and empathise with,'' he told music website NME in a statement.
''It is this lyrical connection that can reach deep down emotionally and move even the strongest of men.''
Everybody Hurts featured on R.E.M's Automatic for the People album and was released as a single in 1993. It was more popular in Australia than the band's native US, peaking at number 6 on the ARIA chart and 29 on the US Billboard chart.
It was rerecorded as a fundraiser for the Haiti earthquake, becoming the UK's fastest-selling charity single of the 21st century, according to NME.
Mariah Carey, Rod Stewart and Jon Bon Jovi were contributors.
Top 10 songs that make men cry:

The only song made me cried was History by The Verve.

Who the fuck is Todd Duncan?
Only The Righteous Brothers can sing Unchained Melody.
Porgy.
The 2 Of Us by Suede made me teary recently. Oh but I'm not a dude. Nevermind...
I heard Tina Arena sing Everybody Hurts once, and I almost cried - it was so painful I was almost compelled to cry.
bahahaha, that was a reply to me.
I already have a dress on... Finding nice shoes in my size is difficult though...
When I am overseas ''Advance Australia Fair'' does it for me...

Oh how witty. Real men show their emotions. But none of the above songs could make me cry, except maybe from boredom.
The song ''zero'' by Lamb has made me cry.
Jeff Buckley's ''lover you should have come over''
Henryk Gorecki's 3rd symphony.
Samuel Barber's Adagio for strings.
And a cover version of Restless Heart's ''the bluest eyes in Texas'' by Nina Pearson and Nathan Larson.
But then I just throw on some Norwegian black metal and feel better. Hail Thor!

haha! nice call, Mo.
thats a completley shit list and would prob only make you cry if you were forced to listen to them repeatedly while locked in a dungeon with the rough end of a pineapple up your arse.
I bet Richard Ashcroft is a big blubbery tantrumy sook.
Imagine that nose with the sniffles. It'd be like a horsey foghorn.
i would love to go three rounds bare knuckle with richard ashcroft
definitely when I peel onions, only other time is when I bust my nuts.
There's a distinction between men crying in company and men crying alone, which I suspect is way more frequent. Allow me (please) to compare it to a wank, it's something which is best done in private. Of course sometimes, a situation gets the better of you and there's no holding back. With crying, this is only slightly more socially acceptable.
I feel like having a sook right now actually. Glad I kept my side fringe, I might just be too old to be mistaken for an emo.
Suck it up big fella
i was hoping someone would have posted a picture of eddie crying at the footy. i know they were tears of joy but he still looked like a fuck head
