My question is, if someone cried in front of you, will it soften you up or make you colder towards that person? Even if it's sincere.
Just Curious...

The saddest was when my scorp cried in my arms, made me melt.

I think there's whiny cryers and cry babies & that annoys me too, like crazy. And Branh being a girlie girl hater I can see him hating cryers.
But I think there are certain moments & times that it is bittersweet, and is completely opposite of annoying. Like when someone who NEVER cries feels close enough to you to show their vulnerablity.

Well my scorp cried when his dad died. I'm not INTO the new man sensitive thing either. It was a very valid reason he cried and I felt like good that he trusted me that way and was pulling me closer instead of pushing me away.
Maybe if he wouldn?t of cried OR shown emotion like that he might of bottled up his pain & pushed me away, out of his life!
if they did at an appropriate moment - like, my ex at his mother's funeral - I don't feel that it's inappropriate or weak. A male friend cried at a spiritual seminar and I was surprised and actually touched to see him melt like that. But later, I think he was embarrassed by the whole thing, and has somehow held it as a low spot in our relationship (? yeah I dunno why, I had nothing to do with it, I just happened to be sitting next to him).
If someone cried all the time, I'd wonder if they needed to talk to a counselor about depression.
If they never cried, I wouldn't see that as strange..I rarely cry, and then only in private. But I do feel very deeply.

It makes me soooo UNCOMFORTABLE! My worst jokes were born out of someone elses tears... ha ha ... ummm ha ?
Nah, I usually make 'em believe that whatever they're crying about is so insignificant and unimportant and that there's solution to everything that I lift a huge weight off their shoulder... atleast while I'm there...? lol I have them laughing their arses off in no time cuz crying makes me euwwwwghk *shudders* and then I help them out however I can. My attitude is "Is it really *that* bad?... NAHHHHH" lol

For me,it'd do nothing really,I'd basically leave them to themselves to sort it out.Maybe I'll listen to them or whatever but they'd have to come to me for that,I don't like imposing on people when they're obviously upset and when they may just want to be alone.
The Scorp I was with used to get turned on when I cried. I think he got off on the whole soft, sensitive, feminine woman thing, especially since I don't normally cry in front of people.
Come to think of it, he was kinda weird. He used to try to take me to my dad's grave site all the time. I would never go with him because I felt like it was a personal thing I didn't want to share with him.

There you go, I think that last post would fit me also. I'm not apt to grow any colder or softer when people cry in front of me. I just listen really...
Well, that is, if it's their own problem.
If it's my own problem and somebody has begun to cry or panic on my own behalf, then I might get harder in realizing that I need to prevent myself from feeling self-pity. But I'd get harder on ME more than the person breaking down. I appreciate toughness under pressure, but I can also appreciate compassion and empathy under pressure. It's both of those that will help you get through a hard period.
