Do UK men cry.

I find genuine tears openly expressed by a man very touching and heartmelting. Maybe that accounts for why I love weepy Jack from "LOST" hahahahah!!

I have often found that turning on the waterworks has got me into the pants of otherwise skeptical women...

I was too jaded to ever fall for that.  'Hello, may I buy you a drink?' always worked a lot better.  I'd think, 'Now, you're talking!'

I have been that mug...though only when 'sceptical' is spelled correctly

I think that sceptical and skeptical are both right ... one is for the states and one is for the UK ... *smile*

but i'm not sure on that point ... so if i'm wrong -- i wouldn't be surprised.

Mine says he does, though I have never witnessed this event.

As for other guys crying, my dad is a big, loud, gruff and generally grumpy dude, but when our cat died he just stood there and sobbed. He's a big animal lover, and, it turns out, secretly a big softie.

Think you're right, songbird.  

My hubby doesn't actually shed tears, but he does go sort of red and damp around the eyes and sniffle a bit.

The k spelling is truer to the etymology (Greek, skepsis, enquiry or questioning). Both spellings are acceptable on both sides of the Atlantic; one is more common on one side, and one on the other. Anyway, I was trying to be reader-friendly. In fact, I had to have a little cry after you criticized [sic] me...

I've never seen mine cry, but when this happens:

when our cat died

... it's not going to be a pretty sight.  :\\\'(

Oh no!  Don't say that!  I'll have to try to console you, and then...well...who know what might happen!

I was going to write, "I'd better bring my hanky", but then I decided perhaps I shouldn't. So I won't.

When we had to put our cat Smokey to sleep I cried.  DH played the strong, comforter and wrapped me in his arms.  I found that sexier. 

Do UK men cry? In my experience it depends on how hard you kick them.

Lots of men cry when they are drunk.
