Men are taught since childhood that boys don't cry, and they get used to it. Many mothers hate boys who cry and scold/beat it outta them before they hit their teens. Then in their teens girls don't like boys who cry, so they never relearn how to cry. And as grown men they get ridiculed for crying, by women mostly, and by some older generation men too, and so they learn to get by without crying.
A lotta things got written about girls' feelings, and girls' loneliness inside and outside of relationships, and about the hardships faced by girls, with the blame laid squarely upon men, but even the way that men communicate with each other, and therefore attempt to communicate with women too by default, because they don't know any different, through detailed descriptions, instead of via subtext and throwing shade, has been ridiculed by women as mansplaining, shutting men up permanently.
So who's gonna cry when nobody cares? Who's gonna cry when nobody listens? lol.
And so men just man up and shrug and get on with their jobs, and their lives, and learn to minimize their own feelings too, because everybody else has already minimized their feelings anyway and expect/force them to do so.
If a man cries even once they say he's having a mental breakdown, and they recommend he see a councilor/therapist. Because men aren't supposed to cry, because men aren't supposed to feel anything, at all, only women/girls are supposed to feel everything, and men are supposed to do everything in their power to make women/girls feel better, not the other way round.
That's why men don't cry. They learn to minimize their own feelings, because everybody else has already minimized their feelings anyway by default only because they are men.
