Why do guys hate/not like when girls cry? For example, last night I was telling my best guy friend about something really upsetting, and he just kept saying, "Please don't cry, please don't cry." What makes guys always say that, like why does it upset tem when girls cry?
cuteclogger87 answered Tuesday November 14 2006, 2:40 pm: Guys dont like to see you cry because they know you are hurting...well at least most guys dont...let me rephrase that the ones who care about you dont wanna see you cry! They know that they really cant do anything to help or stop you, it also can put them in an awkward position because they dont know what to do! But thats why they say "please dont cry!"

xokristabelle answered Monday November 13 2006, 10:29 pm: There's a few explanations.
1. It makes them uncomfortable. Guys aren't used to showing their emotions, so when someone else does, they don't know how to deal.
2. It embarasses them.
3. A lot of guys have a protective instinct, and he might feel like he has to protect you.
Xineph answered Monday November 13 2006, 10:19 pm: The short answer?
He doesn't want to see you in pain, and the crying is a direct sign that you are in pain. He wants to make things better for you :) [ Xineph's advice column | Ask Xineph A Question ]

LOLgrlieGRL222 answered Monday November 13 2006, 9:52 pm: I think its that they dont like seeing you girls cry. Guys always try to hide their true feelings, and it just makes them feel sorry for themselves. Either that or since he's your best guy freind, he doesn't like to see you cry
Hope i answered your question the way you wanted me to.

evan66 answered Monday November 13 2006, 9:10 pm: I'm a guy and i personally think it's cute when girls cry over little things like drama going on or somthing with there parents, but no matter what if a girl cries i like to comfort them in every way possible. It doesn't annoy me or make me mad to see girls cry. Hope I helped. [ evan66's advice column | Ask evan66 A Question ]
MelLeDisko answered Monday November 13 2006, 8:47 pm: You know, guys are always so tough and macho and never wanting to show their emotions, so whenever they see a girl cry, they're probably thinking,"What do I do? What do I do? What do I say to cheer her up?" And they don't know exactly how to handle the situation and how to make a girl feel better or anything.
Also, like everybody does, he probably just doesn't want to you to be upset. I know whenever you're talking to your friends you're probably hoping they don't start crying because you don't want them to be all upset and you just want them to cheer up and everything. So he just might care about you, and hope you don't get that upset.

hope I helped !

duudee_advicer answered Monday November 13 2006, 7:56 pm: Two answers;
Most guys don't deal with emotions much, so they don't know how to handle the situation and therefor it becomes awkward for them.
OR.
He did not want to see you crying and hurt. Maybe he really cares for you and hates to see you upset and sad.
girlmeetsboy answered Monday November 13 2006, 7:54 pm: he was probably saying dont cry because didn't want to hear/see you upset. i dont think that guys in general dont like it when girls cry but like some might get annoyed by it.
so don't assume that they hate it.
