Times When It's Okay For Guys To Cry [Video]

Did your favorite team lose this weekend? Did they screw up a punt and now your friends are teasing you?

Well, go ahead, squirt some tears, it's one of the few times it's allowed.

We’re well into the 21st century, and – rightly or wrongly – most men are still too embarrassed to cry. Even though we’ve been told for years about equal rights and getting in touch with our feelings, a lot of dudes still consider crying to be unacceptable.

But every life has its share of problems and pain, so Spike.com has come up with this list of some times when it might be OK for a guy to cry:

He – or his team – loses the big game.
He has a kid.
That kid gets married.
He gets kicked in the family jewels.
His dog dies.
He smashes his car.

I would also like to add 'when your kid graduates from college'. I cried when my two oldest daughters graduated from college, mainly because I wasn't going to have to pay their tuition anymore. Okay, I was proud of them, too.

And 'after you get tear-gassed' can be added to the list as well.

If you are a Wolverine fan, there's no way you were feeling the pain as much as THIS guy.
