What is happening to modern men?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3496236/Modern-men-three-times-likely-cry-public-fathers.html
>Modern men are nearly three times more likely to cry in public than their fathers’ generation, according to new research.The average British man has sobbed in front of other people 14 times in his adult life, on average, with four out of ten admitting to public tears within the last 12 months.
>By contrast, modern men claim their fathers only ever cried in front of others on five occasions on average – reserving their tears for dramatic personal events such as the death of a family member.
>And it is not just a matter of crying in public. The younger generation shed even more tears behind closed doors, sobbing around 30 times a year, for an average of two minutes and 18 seconds each time.
>Psychologist Donna Dawson, who led the survey of 2000 Britons, said that modern men face much less social pressure than their fathers did to maintain their composure in public.
>Whereas men used to save the water works for major real-life events, their sons are almost as likely to well up whilst they are watching an emotional television programme or film.
>Nearly eight in ten British men admit that they have been reduced to tears by a soppy television drama, according to the research which was commissioned by NBC Universal.

Valid point
Nothing wrong with letting out the tears
Heroes used to cry in the old legends all the time
I wonder
Maybe men are just getting in touch with their feminine side...hehe
Don't think I've ever cried in front of anyone except for when child. I used to bawl my gay fucking eyes out alone in my room when I was 20 having existential melt downs/angst over betrayals in close relationships or thinking about people I missed who were dead. Haven't cried since then almost a decade later. You lose a part of yourself after enough bullshit, you'll never get back that innocence or that ability to feel that deeply hurt.
I cried once or twice last year when I was deeply depressed and on the verge of suicide and I'm embarrassed of it.
How could you find 30 situations in which you'd cry in a year and why the fuck would you admit it?
that's bullshit, i've never even seen a guy cry outside of elementary school or something like that. I don't consider tearing up crying though.
>>68209031
Boomers are socially retarded because they had to figure out what it meant to be "cool" which is in itself a terrible concept.
>>68208622
Last time I cried was when my girlfriend got into a car accident (dead upon impact).
What the fuck is with these fags crying over soaps?
Is there anything to Xenoestrogen hypothesis?
>>68209040
>Heroes used to cry in the old legends all the time
Don't compare modern "men" to legendary heroes.
Crying in public is shameful.
There are few excuses for a man to cry at all and those include deaths of friends, family or canine companions.
Winning a war could be an excuse but no western army has won a war in 2 generations.
>>68208622
To have someone cry over a movie or TV show to me shows that person is too feminine. Perhaps too much estrogen is in their system.
I think that is a lot of the problems today are all the female hormones that are in a lot of the food, water and other things. It feminizes men and turns them into weeping fags.

>>68208622
>The average British man has sobbed in front of other people 14 times in his adult life
That's not that much, could just be funerals.
>>68208622
Maybe it has to do with the massive displays of public emotion from things like 9/11 and the like.
>implying you never cried
>>68209550
you need to balance out the xenoestrogens by taking the natural hormone supplement known as trenbolone.
>>68208622
>The younger generation shed even more tears behind closed doors, sobbing around 30 times a year, for an average of two minutes and 18 seconds each time.
what the fuck?
there's no fucking way that's legit
Cried a few times recently because of my mom being diagnosed with dementia in her mid to late 50s and it recently becoming hugely noticeable
but that's been 2 or 3 good cries
I haven't had any other reason to in the past year or so
>>68209040
Honestly my nation has some good parts but it also has a ton of people who are so cucked beyond saving. I can see what is happening to sweden, there are lots of people here who would like London to become Islamabad 3.0.
>>68208622
the only time i broke down i was drunk as fuck
i don't think i cried once in years, i dont even vent when i'm alone i get angry at work instead
i guess that works, don't really feel like i've built any pressure that way
>>68209695
>tfw too dead inside to cry anymore
I don't even cry 30 times a year if I'm in complete private. What happens in their fucking lives that they have to cry so often? And I'm a guy who's generally not in a good mood and prone to being depressed.
Last time I cried was when I was around 17, and even then it Was just tears forming in my eyes no whining involved
what a bunch of faggots
Crying is for Women and Babies to get the attention of a man

>Crying
Nothing wrong with some catharsis behind closed doors, or in the presence of close and trusted friends and family. I'm not going to pretend that I don't cry every now and then when I lose something or someone important to me, or watch/read something particularly moving.
>In public
This is why Islam is taking over Europe. Tears are not to be shared with the world.
I cry a lot and my dad is a hardass who came down on me like a ton of bricks (without being abusive).
Never could figure out how I turned into such a faggot, metaphorically and literally. Both of my brothers are normal and very masculine.
Middle child syndrome, I guess.
But yeah, I cry a lot. It pisses me off. On the outside I'm sobbing uncontrollably but on the inside I'm not sad I'm fucking furious. And I certainly don't have "soft" political views. I'm overemotional, I guess.
Ah well, we all have our crosses to bear.

I think i'm depressed. I've cried at three different jobs. I'm perfectly normal until one day I feel like killing myself and I just start crying. I'm sure my body will flush these feelings away in time...or I could be fucked in the head.
I don't think I've cried 30 times in the last ten years
>crying 30 times a year
nigga what, that's more than once a fortnight; I've cried once so far this year and It was because I came to the realisiation one night that my dogs and family will die one day and I couldn't get it out of my head
>can't cry in public even over tragedies

I would never let my girlfriend see me cry, it would ruin the image of solidarity and stoicism.

>>68210549
>overcompensating this much
See, im going to admit that I dont cry THAT much, but I find myself probably more emotional than I should. I dont particularly like it, but theres nothing I can do about it
- I cried when I quit my last job, as I got quite attached to my old team
- I do cry every few months when I see an emotional film or anime. Now baww, but a few tears
- I have cried before when I feel I have neglected seeing a family member, or etc
I can remember myself being this emotional as far back as I go, so its not new. Maybe its all the xenoestrogens?
>>68209040
>Heroes used to cry in the old legends all the time
Crying because some awful thing happened to a friend or to a loved one.
VS
Crying because of a commercial or a drama on TV
Get fucked
>>68210549
who said anything about a wife. I'm saying that if you specifically don't cry or do other things because you are afraid women don't like it you are pathetic. Above all things a man who's his own man doesn't give a shit what women think or want in a man. The moment you care you are giving other people power over you. I don't cry in public because I don't need to and because it's none of anybody else's concern how I feel if I don't want them to know how I feel. But not crying or behaving in specific ways because of women is pointless.
>>68208622
Is it at all possible that the Greatest Generation might be lying about how often they cried? I mean it wasn't exactly encouraged.
>>68211125
No.
>>68208622
I cried in public when my cat was put down. Little furball was my pet for 15 years and yeah, that shit hurt like hell. didn't even care if people saw me crying, I just needed to let it out.
Only time I ever did it though
>>68211218
Cool, just wanted to check.
>>68211054
I don't cry because crying is in most cases a sign of weakness and helplessness
>>68210658
I too have experienced feeling's of hopelessness and despair, except instead of crying like a women, I get angry
>>68211247
I really wanted to cry when I lost my old dog, I really did. My mom got mad at me for not crying when he died, and I got mad at myself too.
I think the only time I've cried in the last ten years was three years ago, when I had been up for almost two days and was experiencing massive chest pain I thought was a heart attack. It's not like I'm trying to put up a tough act or anything. I really can't cry. And even then, when I was experiencing that horrible pain and thought I was gonna die, I couldn't tear up. They were just empty sobs.
These guys crying 30 times a year is just unbelievable to me.
>>68208622
Crying is the last resort dump of emotional stress build up, and when you have a support structure, you don't need to cry that often, because it has already bled away all of the pressure.
Men of our father's generation had what millenial 'modern' men don't - a male support structure in the form of friends and buddies, the people you spent time with on your days off or after work, down the pub, going to the range or hunting or fishing with.
That doesn't exist now, in part because men are told not to be masculine, not to do masculine things with their male friends, and to break apart those male spaces for women to enter.
It has been entirely replaced by loner activities like gaming, and chasing for women's attention.
So it's no wonder that men cry more than their parents, when emotional cues hit soft points boiling up from under the crust which would've never existed for his father.

>>68209190
In December of last year, I cried three times.
Once when my cat was real sick
Another when I almost quiet my job( super stressed and sleep deprived)
Last when I got in a car accident, doesn't really count since I got brain damage.
I am the type of person to that's shows little and if stressed I hold everything inside until I explode. Henceforth, why I was allowed to go back to work even when I flipped out on my boss.
I do occasionally tear up watching some good shows by my self. But that's no different than laughing out load to yourself.
>>68211607
>My mom got mad at me for not crying when he died

you know what is weakness? If any fucking dumbfuck hobo could beat the shit out of you. Weakness is if you can't stand up for yourself. Weakness is when you're lost in life and don't have a grip on your own life. Crying is just...crying. It's completely irrelevant.

>>68208622
I've spoken to some friends about crying when alone, the conversations revealed to me what I was experiencing was not a strange case, I can't cry. I'll maybe water an eye in the face of the most dramatic moments of my life. But crying ? I can't. Not a drop. I feel like pic related sometimes. minus the murderous compulsion
>>68209462
The first and last time I cried at a movie was during the first ten minutes of "Up".
Just seeing the guy grow up and marry the love of his life and then see his entire life go by so fast just got me.
>>68212168
Yeah, the last movie that had my eyes water a bit was "As Far As My Feet Can Carry Me". Nice ending.
However, I don't think I've actually cried in years. Can't even recall it.

I started tearing up when I had my cat put down recently and I could feel myself on the verge of breakdown after a bad mistake at work. Also woke up sobbing recently thinking about my dead grandma but that's about it. I didn't even know you could cry while sleeping until then.
>>68208622

In terms of movies I cry at movies demonstrating heroism and sacrifice, but its usually just eyes well up.
Also at movies demonstrating unconditional familial love. Only one that comes to mind is Goodbye Lenin, that movie is hardcore.
I am usually alone in these situations, so dont tell anyone you cunts

But public? At max I've had it build up, but I always tough it up.
Personally I think its silly to compare it too hard to our fathers and fathers fathers. Your average man is so much more in the CURRENT YEAR.
>>68208622
Never cried in public after 14 or so.
No shit, life was hard sometimes and I did cry to vent some steam off. But only in some place far away for anybody to see or hear - I prefered a small forest nearby at nights. Hedgehogs and bats didn't give a fuck, I suppose.
No man with self-esteem will cry in public after early childhood, much less admit it to people you don't know.

>>68208622
This is fucking funny to me, because obviously most of the posters in this thread are different Anglos and Euros, and we all agree that this is fucked. In fact, I can't really think of any culture where men have historically wept openly like fucking women and children.
Maybe there is some exception a libshit anthropologist type would come up with, but it is just that: an exception. This type of nu-male behavior isn't just "a blow to patriarchal culture." it is a fucking sign the the male biological imperative itself is imploding at a fundamental level.
Given that this is acting upon behaviors that are consistent across historically unrelated cultures and presumably developed through some kind of sexual selection, it should be really scary that we were able to burn this all to the ground in the span of ~2 generations.
I watched that Miyazaki movie about the fire bombings in Japan a few years ago and teared up when the kid's little sister finally starved to death. I was really surprised and I feel like a faggot now,

I don't think I ever cried past 12 years old, especially in public, not even at my great-grandmother funeral (which I was very attached to), what the fuck is happening to my generation?
I hardly ever cry, even immediately after someone I car about cries Sure, I'll cry years later, but that's after something that reminds me of them hits me perfectly hard.
The last time I cried, I mean bawled so hard I was fucking embarrassed but couldn't stop it, was while watching Inside Out. That was only because it opened up old childhood wounds though.
It's like another anon said: Men raised the traditional way find it hard to cry at things but it eventually builds up. For me, usually, it's just old trauma I usually keep bottled up. I'm otherwise stoic. It's probably not healthy for my heart or blood pressure in the long run though.

It means you have inferior control of your emotions, which in itself is a sign of feminity and emotional weakness.
>>68209687
more likely lack of real trauma in their life.
"greatest generation" Gee this t.v. show is sad, but its not as bad as when we stormed Normandy and I saw all my friends die, i remember dragging half of jimmy's body out of the water, he was screaming until a kraut put a bullet in his head. Oh and i grew up in the great depresssion, so i never got anything for christmas.
Half of boomers: gee this t.v. show is sad, but not as sad as my dad got sometimes thinking about normandy, i always wondered why it affected him so much, then i went to vietnam/korea.

It's not wrong to cry, but it's a sign of weakness when someone does it often. I haven't really cried since my grandfather died when I was 12. I might shed tear here and there, but outright sobbing, cmon Britian. I can't wait for WW3 to toughen people up.

Small addition. Nicholas II is known among plebs as "Rug-Tsar". A "rug" is a man/woman so weak-willed you can wipe the flood with him/her like a rug.
Reportedly he cried twice in adult life, only with/before his wife. After his father had died after train crash aftereffects and after he was forced by his generals to abdicate. Befode and during his execution he was absent-minded, but not crying nor pleading. He is considered "a rug" for this, among other things.

Crying in public is not acceptable. It can be understood in moments of great stress or tragedy but it's not acceptable.
Then again there has been a concentrated campaign to remove social standards and destroy any sense of resilience in modern Western men.
>>68208622

It's happening.
I don't think I have ever in my life cried in public including funerals, but I've cried dozens of times in private in critical times of severe, overwhelming stress. I hope that doesn't make me a "pussy" by /pol/ standards or whatever.

This. I don't put this in the "beta male" category because basically all men have been manipulated into never showing or having emotions... by women. They do this so we are at the complete whims of their emotions, they can fake tears to get what they want so they manipulated us to not being able to even shed real tears, so we can't pull the same trick on them.
A crying man is a man taking back his emotions from the women that manipulated him into feeling nothing at all for their sake. It feels good to cry when you need to. It's like the feeling you get after pissing, like your body needed to get rid of something. Crying seems to do that, it helps you get rid of the negative emotions or process them or something.

I doubt that..
Society is evolving for men to be more emotionally open, why is this a bad thing?
The "stiff upper lip" repressed generations of men into holding back their true feelings towards their own kids, who in turn had to do the same to their own kids.
Its good to break this shit down.
>>68209462
Lord forbid men actually feel emotions. You realize it's the feminine shit that is making you NOT cry right? It's so the female can cry crocodile tears when she wants something, but you're supposed to remain totally in control to deal with her temper tantrums.
A real man cries when he wants to cry because a real man is honest and finds no reason to cower his emotions for others sake. Tears don't move out of men's eyes easily so if something provoked it, goddammit it deserves that tear.
Cried once in front of a friend. I can't think of a time I've cried in front of anyone who wasn't family other than that.

The boomers are a bunch of gaylords. that's not to say the current generation isn't also gaylords but at least our gaylords fuck men and cry about it rather than hitting their wives and crying about it.
Real men don't let other people see them cry though, that's some faggot shit
I'm not sure anything is truly wrong with it, men have been pretty emotionally stunted since the victorian era.
Not that being a complete pussy is good, i guess there needs to be a middle ground between emotional openness and stiff upper lip. Though, heck, even the victorians weren't above shedding a few tears over a moving play or musical performance.

There's nothing wrong with crying by yourself, though 30 times a year sounds like you're fucking depressed or something; But in public? who does that? I don't think I've cried in public since I was like 5.

Otherwise, no reason to cry.
I see man sculpted like a god - I don't cry out of shame for my body, but try to achieve his body.
I see great artist - I don't cry that I can't make art like him, but try to achieve his talent or let go because not everything is meant for me to achieve.
Being a Slav helps.
Cheeki Breeki from time to time gives you hope, but i v damki makes you humble.
Great hardships of slavsquatting and wearing tracksuits give us discipline, while the optional ushanka fills with joy.
Also, vodka. Nu-males fall flat after two shots and cry when throat burns.
Real Slav man doesn't cry when throat burns. Real Slav man burns vodka back, because he doesn't take shit from anything.

If you suppress your emotions while watching film, you're wasting your time. The point of art is to fucking elicit emotion.

I cried a lot when I was younger (like 8). It was for the most retarded shit too. Like if I struck out in baseball, or got tackled one yard short of a touchdown. I don't know why I did. But one day my dad said "Anon, it's time to man the fuck up." I've cried once since I turned 12, and it was 2 years ago when I was trying to convince my dad not to kill himself as he was about to jump.
I just don't see what crying accomplishes, so I don't do it.

The difference between gyne and pseudo-gyne is that pseudo is a natural result of fattening. If you were fat once and managed to lose weight without paying attention to the method used, you might retain your tits. If it's not pseudo, you have no choice but surgery, though. Pseudo is just fat, non-pseudo is actually a real gland.

Yeah what the fuck. I've only cried once since I was like 13. It was because I had been dealing with a surgery site that didn't heal properly. It required a daily invasive dressing change and prevented me from being able to do a lot of activities. I had been dealing with it for 3 months and then saw the doctor and he told me that there wasn't much improvement. I broke down in the privacy of my room for about 30 minutes and then moved on.

A MAN who's his own man should maximize personal utility, which involves maximizing social welfare in cliquos. This implies no crying in public except in special events (death of someone close to you) and may include purposely crying in public in some special events (likewise) regardless of feelings, as the effect of doing otherwise has negative repercussion on utility and cliquo social welfare.

I think this is the crux of it. In the past a man's whole family might die on a whim due to disease. The neighboring tribe could come kill an entire village. With death and hardship like that crying over a spat seems rediculous. Men today have not known true hardship so they blabbering away like babe's yet to meet the real world.
