Why don’t men cry more?

Men tend to think that crying can be interpreted as a sign of weakness, and in the battle between the sexes, we don’t want to give any advantage to the ‘opposition’.

There are certainly occasions where it is considered appropriate to allow an emotional tear:

The first time a man holds his newborn baby

When his children enter their teenage years.

Arriving back home from overseas, knowing this is the best country in the world.

When his mother-in-law announces she’s moving in with you.

However, in truth, there are only a few circumstances where a man will deem it acceptable to openly blub:

When a heroic dog dies saving its master

When Angeline Jolie starts unbuttoning her blouse

After wrecking his boss’s brand new car.

When he catches himself in the zipper.
