Men in Turkey are allowed to cry but only under severe conditions like loosing a loved one or when they are extremely drunk beyond that it is not considered normal and frankly it isn't.

In Mexico men are allowed to cry when very drunk, and they hug and kiss each other and show affection and emotion and it's ok.
I think (traditionally) they have a lot of pressure to show the manly macho mask thing but it is understood that with booze they can show their true, more emotional selves.

My dad is very sensitive but is from a generation in which it's not allowed to be shown and he doesn't even know how to.
He often cries when drunk
