Song – 男人不该让女人流泪 (Man Should Not Let Woman Cry)
Artist – 苏永康 (William So)
This is a Mandarin song and the title is “Man Should Not Let Woman Cry”. I’m not good in translation so if you search for it definitely you would get a better one from there. This is basically tells of a guy who wants to take care of someone who has been hurt before, hence asking to be trusted as man should not let woman cry. Asking to be trusted he shows his affection and his love telling her that a man should not let a woman cry.
In life or at least as I have lived it I’ve always been told that man should be strong and protect woman. I still believe in this but I’ve come to realized to sometimes man do need a pillar to lean on. We have so often hear of this saying, ok may be the Chinese community will know this and not all, the saying goes like this “Man bleeds but not tear”. I’ve heard this too many times and well as I see it, I can tell you that I definitely have not seen many guys crying compared to girls. I believe I have not seen guys cry before as a matter of fact.
I’m not sure if it’s because of the perception that has been given by the society that man should not cry, man should be strong, and that so forth put a crying man to death sentence. Does crying make you any weaker? Does crying make you any less manly? I’d never know.
I believe that in any way, we should not make anyone cry be it guys or girls. I know that there are times when things are just unavoidable and unintentional, but then if it can be avoided, it’d be the best. I know I’m all talk here and I know that too. It’s because I did learn many lessons the hard way and of coz I did put sorrow in some people in my life. I’m a little wiser now, or may be a little more human, I not to hurt anyone in anyway. Well, I’m still lousy at this, and I’ll be trying to learn this as I carry my worn out body along this journey.
Man should not let woman cry
What do you think?
No one should let any one cry
No one can make you cry…

Either way, be it man or woman, both also cannot make each other cry; but to cry because of happiness that’s acceptable. Not to say that if you are sad you should not cry but when in love, one should respect their partners and try hard not to hurt them.
There is no such thing that man cannot cry — it’s just a perception in the society. We are all human beings and we need to cry sometimes. Keeping it inside would not do good.

Once I made my husband cry and it’s one of the worst things I’ve ever done

yes, men bleed, they don’t cry. if they break the dam, it is usually the end of history (in his/her life). metaphorically speaking of course.
love is strange, all powerful, and all weakening.

I used to think that to see a man cry is a very precious moment, hehehe… but I guess not more these days…

男人不该让女人流泪， 同样女人也不该让男人流泪

Personally I feel its okie for guys to tear but not crying as in weeping.
In relationships, be it friendship or love etc, basically I believe that the party involved should try to make the other person feel happy and appreciated but sadness tags along somewhere along the way and its unavoidable.
After all love is about the joy and pain right, share the sweetness as well as the bitterness, else its no longer called a relationship. Sadly its difficult to find people who will be there through thick and thin, but they are out there somewhere.

Very well said… we should not hurt anyone, and the perception of society is as such…
Crying is definitely not wrong

Yes… When a man cries… it must be something big… but when he cries and you get to see it… it’s something gigantic
And yes, love is just mystical…

It’s very rare to see guys crying…
Precious moment?
In a way I guess

It’s not wrong to cry or weep, even for guys, well may be not in public…
It’s uncontrolable sometimes
We should share the good and bad, that the essence that make things work

I wanted to comment last nite but there was something wrong with your comment box.
Anyway, man or woman - we’re all born with tear glands.
Cry if you must for you’ll always have my shoulder to cry on.
I’m still crying.. I often wonder when I will stop.
HUGS!

It’s ok, maybe it’s the hosting…
I’ve kind of ran out of tears a couple of years back… I’m happy to know I can borrow your shoulders…
You definitely can have mine… You will stop eventually… when the time comes
Hugs!!!

Cyring is not that bad, on a medical viewpoint, it helps rid the eyes of dirt and other nasties. It also relieves tension built-up over time. Man or woman, full of pride, strength or otherwise, tears remind us that we are all still human.

Thanks for dropping by
Yes, tears does ensure that we are still human…
And the point wether based on medical viewpoint or not
Tears does relieves tension and stress
We are all still human… any way…

Those who do not cry lose out more. Keeping things inside only creates a slow poison for the self.
I second Kyels. Civilization’s a bitch. Really.
