Size and age doesn't matter. If someone is sad and needs to cry, they can cry. =/
If I knew them, and depending on the situation, I'd probably be crying too.
Other than that, I'd ask what was wrong. Make sure they're ok.
Nah, if a grown man shows he's crying, it just means he has emotion for something and/or love and it totally ruined him and no other way to express it than crying. Why would someone look down on them for crying? I mean.. If you do, he'll just punch you in the face.. NOW who's looking down on who? :l
This is true. I have not cried since i was 7. LOOK AT ME I'M A MAN! BOTTLE YOUR EMOTIONS AND PUNCH CHILDREN!
Everyone needs to cry sometime.
hm..depends. whats he crying about? how long has he been crying? how hard is he crying? like, little trickling tears or full blown dramatic sobs?
for the most part i'd probably just ignore him though >.>
If he's crying about something completely stupid in which he shouldn't be crying about: Yes.
Otherwise: No.
He should not cry because he tripped over.
He should not cry because his mother scolded him.
He should not cry because his girlfriend said "no".
Otherwise, he has every possibility to cry. But big men don't cry often. They apparently don't cry.
Unless they are asked to cry someone a river of etico-social fundamentalism, they will:

This thread belongs in the catergory;
"Can one judge people from their appearance?"
The answer is "No" and shall forever remain "No". One should not look down on a big man crying just because his appearance says that he is not supposed to cry. 'tis ridiculous.
My dad is a big man and looks like Hagrid in the movie adaptations. He cries a lot, as does my dad. Simply put REM's Everybody Hurts or Bambi on and the guy is bawling like a baby.
And there's no problem with that.
I've made boys cry and not thought less of them ;p
Ummm well...it really depends...
My fiance and my dad are considered big men. Of course everyone including them has feelings and emotions, they'd cry if the sadness gets into them, right? But for some reason, my dad never cries, not even when my mom was cheating on him for another married man. But my fiance would cry if his mom gives him stress. I wouldn't say that big men apparently don't cry, because I've seen many major big men cried before. Big men cries depending on how bad did things happen. Breaking up with a girlfriend, divorcement, or fired from work probably won't make a big man cry, but what about things such like losing a family member? A family member dies and the big man cry? I believe that most big men does cry depending on the situation.
Totally depends on what the guy is crying for. Maybe also location. I'm just fine with guys crying. When I feel like it I also cry. Even at sad movies. I mean, why not? Does it make me less a man? I don't think so. Probably makes a more sensitive man. Which is a paradox by the way. At least at some times.
Oooh, but let's not remember who invented gayish Punk genre and who invented the manly Metal genre. But still: statistics don't lie:

i don't cry ( i don't hit people ) why did i put brackets around that makes it sound like i was lying ( my spelling is so bad ) don't bottle your feeling men cry hug other men and wear short skirts . HA
Personally, the fact that men are taught that it is "Wrong" to cry, is ridiculous. Perhaps not in certain social situations, but I generally like a man who's honest with himself and his emotions. Boys are taught that it's wrong to show emotion, which is unfair to an extent, because everyone has emotions.
Girls are taught from a young age that it's ok to be emotional, so that's why it's more acceptable for women and girls to cry. Either way, I respect a man who's honest with himself about his emotions -- it's not something I look down upon.
Actually, as a man, I'm not very inclined to cry, ever. This really applies to most men too. I'm not inclined to play with dolls whose target market are girls either, which I would argue is also applical to most men. I don't think that the average person is sincerely disgusted by a man crying or playing with feminine dolls, but rather it is considered "weird" for obvious reasons.
So, the point I'm trying to get across is that I think one's desire to fit is plays a bigger role than other people's perceptions in respect to a man crying.
From my observation of women, they seem to have a inclination to cry as if they'll never feel better if they don't actually cry. There's this concept that if you're not honest wiht your feelings, you'll never feel better.
I honestly don't relate to this concept. My emotional health changes based on events in my life, regardless of whether I was suppressing or expressing any emotions.
I stand at 6'6 and I cry and am man enough to admit when I do. Granted it's a rare occurrence, but its still there.
If big man cry, it probably means he has not have enough experience of life. When you have enough experience in life and have gone through sadness and depressions when you are young, then you see life in a whole new angle and see that only baby cry:<_<: . Then you can call yourself a man:awe: .
But crying is good for eye...so, cry man...*sob*..:( .*sob*...cry.....
