Oh, Jesus!
He was "weak", he wept...
Let´s talk Biblically, if not touchy for you. Agreed on? I go:
I wondered how many "men" followed Jesus when He "acted" as you said, boldly and manly:
Luk 9:59 To another he said, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father."
Luk 9:60 And Jesus said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God."
Luk 9:61 Yet another said, "I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home."
Luk 9:62 Jesus said to him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."
He surely learned something about people´s feelings... later on, He wept.

Point 2, absolutely!
That´s why I don´t go regularly to churches, several years now.
Ezekiel 34, compared to Jn 10 gave me that "wrong" idea.
Mat 10:25 It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household.
Luk 6:40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.

Smack him across the face!! My land I hope no one chose that! It depends on the situation.Comfort,if its the death of a friend or loved one, talk this out if its frustration.I wouldnt trust a man that didnt cry.Not boo hooing all the time but there is a time and place.Its attractive to me when a man has a kind,soft heart.My 2 cents worth.

Exactly ...look at Jesus He was a strong and yet gentle...He was not one to get caught up in the emotions of a storm or to fall into weeping when things didn't go His way... He most favorite term was "fear not" and "have faith".... He was and acted like a man...not like some of you fellows on this thread who seem to be caught up in your emotions and cry if the wind blows.

What do you mean by "in the manner of a woman"? We all cry the same way..lol.. When I cry, I don't go waa waa, boo hoo hoo.. I just cry..you know, the whole tears running down my cheeks thing.. 
You seem to think we're saying it's okay for a man to cry if he doesn't get his way. That's not what's being implied here. We're saying it's okay for men to cry, period, like if a family member or friend gets killed, etc.. Stop saying that men aren't to cry like women or babies. There's only one way to cry: with human emotion.

Its well known that babies fake crying to get attention...I think some of you just like the attention ...

Will you help any understand this thing?
Actually, no I don't embrace the idea that women are weaker. I know many women who are physically, emotionally, mentally AND spiritually stronger than many men put together. God did NOT make us women weaker, he made us to be submissive. Submissive does NOT mean weak.. I'd like to see YOU go through child-birth without crying..lol..

The true "movie" will be seen in heavens: He acted like a dictatorial leader, those days, and later on, He changed.
Read the passage, count the ones who followed Him, and think why He had to pray and fast to get those 12: He needed to know those GOD had appointed and Peter, a strong man, showed the one he was when he cried for help at that storm:
Mat 14:30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, "Lord, save me."
Mat 14:31 Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"
Was Peter new to the sea (a lake 40 meters deep)?
A strong man, like Pete, cried when he denied his own and personal friend.
Luk 22:61 And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, "Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times."
Luk 22:62 And he went out and wept bitterly.
Again, a strong man like Pete, did the same (inside him, in secrecy):
Joh 21:17 He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.
Show US where any person here, women or men, is promoting a crying baby or a whining man?
It is only you who assumed that, from the beginning.
