The Art of manliness WHEN IS ACCEPTABLE FOR A MAN TO CRY?

When would it be allowed and socially ok?

The list is obviously short.

  1. Winning the Super Bowl (the first time, any subsequent times - no)
  2. Birth or death of a son

I think that is about it. Any other emotional moments should be met in silence or swearing.
