Men cry at night:
Throughout the current season in "Wedding at First Sight", Shai Jakubowicz won the sympathy of viewers and especially viewers (and their mothers) not only because of the mane of curls and the gentleman's manners, but also because he was not ashamed to connect with his sensitive side and show weakness and even weakness. Moments of crying that are almost always given a mocking and derogatory label of "unmanly act".
"A real man does not cry, right? That's how I grew up too," Jakubowicz opened the post he posted to his Instagram last Friday in honor of Man's Day, a post designed to dispel the stigma and show that it is entirely possible to be a man and still not be ashamed to show emotion.

"Not masculine to show emotions. There is no such thing as hard or painful. In my youth, I never learned how to show vulnerability because I thought that showing vulnerability meant reducing my masculinity," he shared.
"One of the things I learned in the process in 'Honeymooners' is that being a man is not Macho's style," he said of the process he went through on the show.
"It's not just expressed in the roughness that sterilizes any expression of emotion or compassionate crying. To be a man is to bring values, it is to be a man, and as a person connected to his authenticity, it also means to allow emotion to break out," he wrote.

"So do men really cry at night? I say that men cry even during the day, and even in the most watched program in Israel at the height of prime time," he wrote with a sting and ended with wishes: "By the way, my beloved man's day."
Jakubowicz's post managed to garner thousands of likes and hundreds of embracing and encouraging comments.
"A man over men," the show's contestant, Mano, who became a close friend, told him.
"In love, you are a charming man. I wish my daughter a man just like you," added another surfer, and others reinforced: "You are a stunning man with a heart of gold who knows how to behave." Summarized.
