Macho men don't cry?

I'm sure most of us have heard the manly phrases like

• No woman no cry (Bob Marley)
• Real/great men don't cry
• etc.

Whoever coined the phrases might not be a real man, I'd say.


When the dashing (is he?) Fahrin Ahmad made a press conference denying his ex-girlfriends (Scha & Linda Onn's) accusation saying that he's bad tempered and it was the reason that soured the ties, there were various fedbacks from fans, media and the public.

Well, Fahrin... people come and go.
Friendships are formed, grow, some leave and some stay, but I believe a companion never lets you down. Prolly u picked the wrong girl. Or u might need to contemplate what have u done to them both.

For women, tears are always ready to flow...be it joy or sorrow. But seeing a man shedding his tears is like
What? Kasi malu jer...
or perhaps
Pity him! I wonder what made him cry?

This morning, Hotfm morning crew discussed about Men Who Cry.
There was this guy who called, claiming he never cried thoughout his whole life. Boastfully, he said that his late dad never cried, thus his male siblings were always reminded not to cry (for whatever reason).

I felt like giving a call to say...
Don't u know that two types of drop that'd extinguish the hell fire are:-

• The tears that drop bcoz of fear of (taqwa) Allah
• The blood of the syahid warriors fisabilillah

And those who find it hard to shed a tear is bcoz their hearts are as hard as a stone!

• Hati yang keras adalah kerana berbuat dosa
• Berbuat dosa adalah kerana lupa mati/lupa Allah
• Lupa mati/lupa Allah adalah kerana banyak angan-angan
• Banyak angan-angan adalah kerana cintakan dunia
• Dan cintakan dunia adalah punca segala maksiat

Sometimes, the radio callers resemble the shallowness of the people nowadays and it's really worrisome. The last time, I heard a caller asked "How do I recite the doa akhir/awal tahun, I don't know the doa?"
Ewah-ewah! Engkau boleh sms Linda Onn, tapi kau tak boleh google cari doa tu ke? Tak reti pergi berjemaah baca doa tu kat masjid ke?

The other time, when the issue of maskahwin to be increased to RM300, a caller said..."Eleh, naik 300 pun nak kecoh. Dah tu? Ingat senang-senang je nak kawin?"
Haishh..macam jahil sangat je. Tak pernah dengar ke "sebaik-baik wanita ialah yang paling rendah maharnya".

Alamak! Emo pulak...
Oh okay...back to the crying/shedding tears topic.

Well, men or women...no need to worry about being ugly. Let it go. Sometimes, crying men can be admirable tau! Anyway, lets leave the availability of tears on the sciences.
Men might be tough, but their heart is not as tough as a rock, just a bit tougher than ours (women). But that doesn't mean that they are as cold as ice.

Practically, I think men don't cry maybe bcoz they feel that tears don't solve their miseries.

Alaaa...TimMcGraw pun cakap...'I don't know why they say grown men don't cry."

Okay lah...let's change the phrase to no women, men cry! Hehehe

p/s: I'm not a big fan of Fahrin, but MrHubby was his schoolmate. He said Fahrin likes pretty girls! ;)
