I lose respect for people when they cry in a situation where they are needed to pull their shit together and move on, or generally act helpless. I don't blame them, I just have no respect for their choice, and their weakness. In the same vein, I will never respect people who yell.
Crying doesn't make you, or show you are weak. It's not innately unmanly. That quality is decided when and where you choose to let yourself. There are times and places for crying. It's a question of dignity.
