Big boys don\u2019t cry! Well, says who? Do you remember the scene in \u201cA Walk to Remember\u201d where Jamie tells Landon that she has terminal leukemia and has stopped responding to treatments? Well, wasn\u2019t Landon crying his eyes out while driving to his father. Wasn\u2019t it cute? What say gals and guys?<\/p>\n
For many, this might be cute and really romantic on screen but when it comes to reality they still are not comfortable with men crying. They want a man who is a man\u2026to be correct a rugged man or a man made of steel. I asked a few of my friends (all of them in their twenties) what they thought about it and most of them accepted that they are not very comfortable with men who cry\u2026they echoed the age-old \u201cGuys who cry are mum\u2019s boys\u201d silly outlook.<\/p>\n
\u201cA knight in shining armour\u201d who is tall, handsome, dark and has a rugged body somewhat like a Greek god \u2013 what the 20 of 25 girls (I was shocked!) called was their right man. Hope these girls don\u2019t fall in love with the same boy! After all there aren\u2019t many Greek gods or knights in shining armour left now! (You see them in museums\u2026ok that was a lame joke)<\/p>\n
So, what about the remaining 5\u2026you must be thinking? You can thank God for creating these fearless women who don\u2019t mind if their man cries his heart out. For them a man who is not afraid to cry or is unashamed when tears flow from his eyes is a DUDE because he can and knows how to let go.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s the men who want to hide behind their rugged exterior and do not let the tears flow down make many women frightened\u201d says Aparna, professor at one of the renowned colleges in Pune. \u00a0“It\u2019s truly sad that guys don\u2019t want to cry when they are sad. The only way they know to show their sadness is by being angry and violent” says Indira, an IT professional. She continues “I would rather marry a guy who is not ashamed to cry than one who expresses his pain via violence.”<\/p>\n
And if you ask me I would say \u201cI don\u2019t give a shit how a man expresses his emotions as long as he is true and non violent\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
