I disagree, I found OP's statement to be very egotistical. He was painting himself as superior to younger men because "they haven't experienced much, that's why they don't cry!". Should younger men whose hormones don't allow them to cry feel bad about themselves? Are they subhuman for what they are? Have they not had enough "real life experiences"? This is obviously false. In fact, the majority of young men who experienced far worse than OP would still find themselves less likely to cry, and the reason is simply: biology.

edit:

>and think it's a sign of sanity

Right, only OP is sane. Men who don't cry are lunatics.

If you are going to ask for an explanation, and then deny what people is trying to tell you and twist their words, you might as well take the down votes with a measure of dignity.
