This wallpaper captures the urban essence that proliferated the art of Ghost in the Shell in every incarnation of the series. Phill does an amazing job of capturing a moment of surrealism.

While there are a few, stray building angles and shadows, you find that your eye forgives the minor details and instead focuses on the overall scene that is larger than life, with lights trailing off into infinity.

In the past age, when I was a little bud, crying is usual. A girl's cry is also usual, whatever their age is. But when you grew up, a man's cry is embarassing. Would you find it normal for a man to cry?

For me, a man's cry must be for something special, something huge to carry (not things, but the burden they have). Maybe for the lover's funeral, or parents, or losing somebody so precious.

Since it is the first time to me getting a girlfriend, I didn't know what expression should I make when I'm with her. And when I'm being dumped for the first time, is it normal to cry?

Being dumped for the first time and crying is quite normal. I did it but i'm still a man! I punch and kick things (thats in martial arts class though).

If your thinking that crying drops or declines a mans appearance? I don't think so, unless your crying all the time *cough Rene Rivkin*

In actual fact, men are the more mentally weakened of the two sexes. 1 in 5 are said to have some mental illness and usually its Skitzophrenia where in women its 1 in 9. <<---them 2 figures aern't bull they are true.
Not to mention that around 40's almost all men have some midlife crisis. And it doesn't matter what age you are when you cry.

About 2 years ago, i have these blood blisters on my back for unknown reasons and i just bleed all day and night. My t-shirts always were covered with blood and easily you could wring it and blood drops would come out as if you were drying a car.
One night my father saw the amount of blood on my back and he started to cry. I told him not to, so he did stop.

Crying in Highschool or 'teen's age is common but the only downside is that your school enemies would just make fun of you thats all.

No need to be ashamed about it, just make sure you cry for the right reasons...not like one of Jerry Sienfields girlfreinds where she drops a hot dog and starts tearing!

Yeah, i think it's okay/normal for men to cry. They are not superhuman after all and they also have feelings... It's not as if they are completely different from women. I think that they have the right to if they wanna cry. They should not be judged for doing it...

I think there is something sweet when a man cries in front of someone they are close to. It's a sign that they are comfortable enough with themselves and with you to show that side. This is one of the upsides to being a girl -- you can show your emotions more openly without too much backlash. Now, that is not to say it's okay to be a crybaby :P. ~Firewalker: If you're already going out with the girl, then hopefully you are already a little comfortable with her.. so I think it's okay to be yourself (even if that means crying). And there's nothing weak about crying :).

And highschoolers.. well, gradeschool students in general.. are really cruel =/.

It's ok for anyone to cry, as long as it is for the right reasons. There is nothing embarassing about that. I mean, who can honestly say that they've never cried in their entire life? Crying shows the sensitivity of a person....

“It takes a really big man to cry”

“It takes a bigger man to laugh at him.”

nolimitz i presume you mean when you graduate from University or something high like that yeah? Because if it was college, I and pretty much my whole grade didn't cry at all. An the otherside, i was pretty much glad i graduated and kept on thinking "no more being f***ing idiots anymore", and i can say that with a basis.

Our school average for our year (out of 200) was 80...we were the lowest school in our state...and we are a private school...my parents paid $4000 per semester and i was so pissed off with everyone...not to mention our school incident that made the news headlines

(our yaer trashed one of the new wings for the buildings...it was our relaxation center)

As for men crying i see it as normal - still there is so mych social, psychological pressure on uphelding a 'strong' men archetype and as such i think that men, are made to cry only by something very special, a burden too heavy to carry. It's kind of ironical, that nowadays when the idea of strong, independent women is so popular, and there are so many publications viewing man as the 'weak' part of humanity (many books on 'the sex of the brain' and most of magazines have such an article at least once in a few months), men are still frowned upon when expressing their emotions.

I think that crying is not liked to sex but rather to society...
From a physiological side, we can all cry, male and female...
The problem is that the society had conditionned us to think that man's cry is something abnormal or aweakening, while it is not (at least that is what I think...)
We all had moments when we cryed even past 15 or 20 years old... It is an emotional need, so don't be ashamed of crying.

Men should cry when they need to cry,when someone is emotionally damged they are upset which leas to crying, theres nothing wrong with anyone crying, its just that somepeople will think its sad and babyish and some will just make fun off you, but surely those people cry aswell,
were only humans and as part of our nature we cry, if any man didn't cry i would be really amazed,and probaly disapointd too -_-".

Yes... its ok ofr a man to cry... why? because its better to cry it all out that to take it all in (you know, depression, unhappiness, upset etc) although men prefer not to show it in the face of other people.

there is nothning wrong with crying. If you think that you don't want to cry because it may hurt your pride as a man, then EAT your pride. Even the toughest man cry in a given situation. So cry it when your heart wants to. Everything will feel lighter after doing it.

Heii...What's wrong if mans cry? I think everyone can cry because sometimes we will have sad feeling which only can get better if we are crying..... We also have tears so I think no one don't deserve to cry...

Ummmm..... Just don't know why men sometimes hide their feeling when thet need to cry....Well...Amybe I don't understand because I am not a man lol ...Ummm.....Maybe they are ashamed or they want to keep their pride ( because sometimes I feel like that too lol )...Well...Yes! Maybe everyone should keep their pirde...But I think it is useless to keep our pride with hide our true feeling....

My suggestion : Just cry if you want to cry...I think you will me sufferer if you keep your sad feeling inside your heart....Everyone deserve to cry......

Men can cry just as much as any woman. It's no big deal, even though alot of people try to turn it into one.

I feel that its ok for men to cry. Crying is one way of letting the saddness kept in the heart loose. We are in a equal society now. Nobody should accuse a men for anything just beacuse he cried...

If not, you could go to the beach and shout out your feeling. Maybe that will make you feel better.
