A single outlet of restrained emotion. A manly tear, if used sparingly, is so powerful, so profound, that everyone around you is moved by your undeniable badassery. It is a show that a beast, no matter how savage, has a heart that is capable of feeling. A Manly Tear (so awesome it needs to be capitalized) demonstrate the control, and the precision of a man's character, as he is willing to skirt the lines of tasteful shows of emotion and uncontrollable babbling. Lesser men are incapable of such restraint, and therefore cannot shed a Manly Tear.

What men shed as a quiet, dignified showing of being deeply moved.

Whereas merely bawling your eyes out will open you up to accusations of being emo or a sissy, a manly tear shows you're mature enough to show your emotions without whoring for attention.

tears of the most sincere and truly meaningful origin.they are produced when a real man weep for joy or more commonly sorrow. there is few times that it is ok to shed these tears, but when they are present it is undeniable of what they are. they are so powerful if seen other will be forced to weep with the man.
