Even in this supposedly progressive modern age, far too many men feel self-conscious about the natural act of crying.

Feeling that it's not a manly thing to do, even though many would argue that it takes a real man not to be afraid to tear up publicly.

Of course, even the most unabashedly masculine men don't have complete control over their emotions and find their eyes watering unexpectedly every now and then.

Sometimes giving in to grief, sometimes overcome with joy, and sometimes simply owing to a corny commercial for coffee.

Sometimes this happens when nobody's around. Other men aren't so lucky.
