Actually, I my understanding is its perfectly acceptable in many Middle-Eastern countries for men to cry openly. They'll also hold another mans hand while having a conversation with him apparently.

In older U.S films you can see men lock arms while walking and speaking. It wasn't an uncommon occurrence up until the 1950's or so.

It's still a common occurrence in Korea as well, so it isn't just the middle-east.

They also tend to like little boy booty in those countries.. this is said in jest :]
