Male,macho,emotionally shy Why,why can't men cry ? Anxious,so full of fear Keep feelings within,hold it near; A mask, without a care Ever, reluctant to share. Manly,masculine,emotionally shy Why,why can't men cry ?

Hello Brian Strand, I have never seen a man cry. I think men don't cry because it shows they are weak. I am only guessing. Enjoy your day my friend.
