You might be left perplexed when a guy cries in front of you because it’s not a common sight for women to see a man cry in front of them.
In our society, men are supposed to be these big, strong creatures that take all the pain and suffering without showing any feelings or emotions.
And that is why you will rarely see a guy crying in front of people, especially in front of girls.
But then the question arises what does it mean when a guy cries in front of you?
Well, there could be a lot of reasons behind it, and you can interpret this incident in a lot of different ways.
But whatever the reason may be behind him crying, if he cries in front of you, it shows that he is comfortable with you and isn’t afraid to show his vulnerable side to you. He trusts you and likes you, and perhaps even loves you.
In this article, we will discuss in detail what it means when he cries in front of you and what you should do if he is crying.
So let’s get started.
What does it mean when a guy cries in front of you?
When a guy cries in front of you, it shows that he is comfortable with you, he likes you, trusts you, and isn’t afraid to show his vulnerable side to you.
Men are quite shielded in general and rarely show emotions, and it is very rare for them to cry in front of people, especially a girl.
Guys are conditioned from childhood to suppress their emotions and not to let their feelings come out, and if a guy lets his emotions out in front of you and cries, then it is a clear sign of how much he trusts you and likes you.
For him to cry in front of you, he has to share a deep connection with you which is very rare to find these days.
If you like him too, then it is a great sign for you and your relationship, and it means you can take things forward with him.
If you were not sure where your relationship is going, then this proves that you two share a great bond, and you are ready for a serious, committed relationship.
He is trusting you enough to show his “weak” side to you, which means he is a genuine guy who doesn’t believe in toxic masculinity and is ready to put down his ego and pride in a relationship that is what you want.
As they say, crying is a doorway to intimacy, once a guy is comfortable enough to cry in front of you, you know he is real with you, and there is no pretense in your relationship, and you can only have a real relationship when you are genuine with each other.
What should you do when a guy cries in front of you?
As we said, him crying in front of you is a sign of trust and that he likes you, and you shouldn’t do anything to make him regret his opening up in front of you.
Whether he is a friend or a love interest, this shows that you are at a point in your relationship with him where you can share anything with each other.
If you like him, then it is a signal that it’s not just a casual thing anymore now; you can actually think of having a serious relationship with him.
But what should you do when he is crying in front of you?
Here are some things to keep in mind when a man cries in front of you.
Dont ask him questions.
When he is in this state of sorrow and letting his feelings out, you shouldn’t bombard him with questions.
Dont keep asking him what’s wrong? Why are you crying?
Give him time to deal with it and understand that he is not in the mental state to answer these questions in that instant.
You can obviously talk to him about these things once he calms down, but when he is crying, you shouldn’t be asking him questions repeatedly.
Listen to him
Just sit down and listen to him.
This is honestly the best thing you can do in this situation; he is going through a lot of emotions and wants someone he trusts to share it with.
You should just sit with him and listen to what he has to say, dont judge him, dont ask too many questions, just be there with him and listen as he pours his heart out.
As I have said previously, it’s not easy for men to cry in front of a woman, and if he is doing it, he is trusting you with his feelings, and it’s your duty to respect his feelings and at least listen to him calmy until he calms down.
Show empathy
There could be various reasons behind him crying. Maybe he was stressed, maybe something terrible happened in his life, or perhaps it was just a bad day for him; whatever the reason, maybe you should be empathetic towards him.
You shouldn’t be judging him and try to understand his situation; he is not only dealing with something that is making him cry but also being brave enough to be open about it in front of you.
Tell him that you understand how he feels and there is nothing wrong with him feeling that way and opening up in front of you.
Console Him
This is basic common sense; if someone is crying in front of you, you should try and console them, but somehow people usually forget this when it’s a man who is crying.
You should just sit with him and talk him through his feelings, listen to him, and show that you care for him.
You can hug him, put a hand on his shoulder or even kiss him if he is your boyfriend, basically do anything that would calm him down and make him feel better.
Dont rush things, be patient and let him express his emotions and just be there by his side until he feels better.
Dont laugh it off
We are so accustomed to seeing men as these emotionless creatures that it’s hard for us to accept that even men can have emotions, and even they can cry and feel bad.
The worst thing you can do when a guy cries in front of you is to laugh it off and make fun of him or say things like, “I am seeing you like this for the first time.”
Dont do all this.
He is already going through a lot of emotions, and he is trusting you to share things with you. The least you can do is be a little empathetic and just listen to him for a few minutes.
If you dont have feelings for him, or you think he is crying over petty things or whatever. Keep these things to yourself for the time being, and you can discuss them later when he feels better.
The Bottom Line:
It’s not common for men to cry in front of people, especially girls, and that is why when you are put in a situation where you see a man crying in front of you, you are left confused as to what it means and what you should do in this situation. As we said, it shows that he is comfortable with you and trusts you.
You should just console him and listen to him without judging or asking too many questions, and that is probably the best thing you can do for him in this situation. And more importantly, dont laugh it off or make him regret opening up in front of you.
