Perhaps I'm being hypocritical but I have more respect for the people who say 'ya know what, I couldn't be with a guy who cried' than the people who say they couldn't be with a guy who couldn't. Largely, it seems that those people say that guys who don't cry are less capable of expressing emotion and those are the grounds they don't like it on.
I'm a guy who finds it impossible to cry. Yet, I express my emotions (esp. to my gf) better than most if not any other guy I know. Would you be against being with me just because I don't show it in the medium of tears?
I understand if someone can't be with someone who cries. The act makes them uncomfortable, so they'd rather not be with someone who breaks down on them. Gotcha.
But, there's no specific 'act' of not crying. Or, if there is, it's one many of us engage in every single minute of our lives. So, to be unable to accept someone because you make judgements about their emotional stability based on their lack of wanting to express said emotions in a phenotypically similar state is absurd, IMHO.
