Crying is a very powerful expression of human emotion. But not all cultures and times understand the symbolism of crying in the same way. Particularly variable is the degree to which this symbolism has been gendered over the centuries. Boys don't cry. It doesn't matter the circumstances; shedding any tears is the ultimate no-no in terms of what you can and can't do as a man. But sometimes... sometimes... sometimes there comes a time when a man's emotions deny any other form of expression, and they pour forth—prerequisite impassioned speech may or may not be present—by cascading down his cheeks. And crying does NOT make him any less badass in the eyes of the audience, but in fact may even reinforce this status. In other words, Manly Man-Tears Of Manliness. Common cases of this are: Loss of a significant other - child, Love Interest, sibling, beloved pet, friend, comrade in arms, parent, Old Master, Antagonist in Mourning, you name it. Pride or joy for a significant other - child, Love Interest, sibling, etc. (as above) Patriotic pride, especially if he's military (current or retired) and/or his country's anthem is playing. Seeing something beautiful like a finely crafted weapon, or a wild and beautiful landscape. (This can overlap with patriotic pride if the beautiful sight is in/from his home country.) Intense gratitude for a significant service or favor, especially if it involves someone saving his life or the life of his aforementioned significant other. An encounter with the divine, especially if he's religious and has received a blessing from his god(s). A particularly well-executed Rousing Speech, especially the one right before the Final Battle or Big Game. Sympathizing with someone's (or some group's) plight. Reaching an important goal in one's life, especially if The Hero is Hot-Blooded. (Vowing to achieve said goal also works.) Having a father-figure finally say, "Well Done, Son." Any case of Heroic Sacrifice. All-consuming rage. Values Dissonance - for the movies set in some very different historical or cultural context (even in Europe, it was actually common and even expected for men to cry on certain occasions in Antiquity and the Middle Ages). Basically any time a badass is overwhelmed with emotion. The common thread here is that Manly Tears are justified and dignified. Crying for no (good) reason doesn't count, nor does crying out of frustration or over wounded pride. Pain is out too, for no matter how bone-shattering the beating or how excruciating the torture The Hero will never give their tormenter the satisfaction of MANPAIN TEARSnote this being where Berserker Tears come in handy, as per the "don't get scared, get angry" maxim. Crying in fear is also out, for the same reasons. On the "dignity" side, however justified they might be, Inelegant Blubbering generally doesn't qualify as Manly Tears because of their lesser/non-existent dignity- though depending on the situation and the person, the two can overlap on very rare occasions: There are some things which can move even the most stoic Badass to openly weep. This can also be a common audience response to particularly emotional moments in the more Hot-Blooded shows. In this case, it often overlaps with Tears of Joy. If the character is particularly sensitive and so is often moved deeply, see Tender Tears or Emotional Bruiser. Manly Tears may swiftly change into Berserker Tears if the one who caused the hero's suffering is here. Sometimes the tears may be Tears of Joy, and paired with the Fist Pump. Contemptible characters may attempt to characterize these tears as water works; the effect is to make them even more contemptible. The crying character may also apologize for them as a sign of weakness. True friends will probably reassure them It's Okay to Cry. Contrast Sand In My Eyes, where the man denies to the end that he is crying. See also Not So Stoic, Sorrowful Stutter, and Break the Badass. May be in the form of a Single Tear (which generally makes it even manlier). Since there is no separate trope covering works from cultures where crying is actively expected as a part of masculinity, or no big deal, examples of that are included here. But in such cultures the message of the symbolism is not "he's crying because it's so extreme that even a normally unemotional man would cry", but rather "he's crying because a display of authentic emotion is what is expected of a man in these circumstances". The phrase "manly tears" originates from Anime fandom. Fist of the North Star is the Trope Codifier, due to how the hyper-masculine macho badass Kenshiro is not afraid of shedding tears. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is arguably the Trope Namer, as it was the Gurren Lagann fanbase that coined the phrase "manly tears". |

The Great Mouse Detective: Bartholomew sheds tears and sobs like a baby while Ratigan talks about his history with Basil during "The World's Greatest Criminal Mind" number. One of Ratigan's thugs also sheds a tear after Bartholomew is eaten by Felicia. Dawson starts to cry after Olivia gets kidnapped. Occurs near the end of the movie with Basil himself after Olivia goes back to Scotland, even though tears are not visible. He's obviously Trying Not to Cry after their goodbye. |

Quasimodo has a few crying scenes in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, most memorably when he sees Esmeralda and Phoebus kissing and at Esmeralda's Disney Death. Some people might argue that these are Tender Tears, since Quasimodo is generally a sweet, gentle character, but since the climactic battle proves that he can be a true badass, they qualify as Manly too. | |

The Nostalgia Critic could never be accused of being manly, preferring instead to wail pathetically when the slightest thing goes wrong, but when he's matured into The Atoner for To Boldly Flee, he keeps his (apparently loads of) crying offscreen.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: All seven dwarfs cry over Snow White's Disney Death. That includes Grumpy, who lead the attempt to rescue Snow White and therefore is easily the manliest of them. This scene may also have invoked a meta example of this trope at its first showing; after months prior to the release of people calling the movie "Disney's Folly," saying that an hour and a half of color/animation would drive people mad, etc., a bunch of grown celebrities, men as well as women, burst into tears over the sight of a dead cartoon character. | |

The Bible: Jesus wept. - John 11:35, the shortest passage in The Bible. He weeps out of compassion for the grieving sisters and friends of the dead Lazarus, whom he proceeds to bring back to life. Similarly, after Jesus' prediction that Peter would deny Him three times comes true, Peter weeps bitterly. Throughout the Hebrew Bible there are many examples of strong men weeping. Joseph, son of Jacob, repeatedly breaks down in tears throughout the later part of his story, as he reunites with his family and reconciles with the brothers who sold him into slavery. |

Earl Devereaux subverts the trope in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and plays it straight in the second movie. He orders a tear back into his tear duct after first seeing the food animals. But at the end, he allows it to fall, whereupon it somehow manages to make a blueberry grow chest hair. | |

Moses in The Prince of Egypt, at the deaths of all the firstborn Egyptian sons. After Rameses finally grants the Hebrews permission to leave (while mourning over his own son's body), as Moses walks back to the Hebrew dwellings amid the echoing sound of bereaved mothers' cries, he is overcome with grief and collapses against a wall, sobbing. | |

In the stage version of Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame, not only does Quasimodo have his crying scenes as in the film, but in the final scene, the even manlier Phoebus also cries over the body of Esmeralda, who unlike in the film is Killed Off for Real. | |

Despite trashing the Ring of Honor fans, after wrestling what was thought to be his last match with the company, a two out of three falls match with Colt Cabana, it was obvious CM Punk was crying. It would happened again, him being overwhelmed by the positive fan support his debut match with the revived ECW brand received, cried while celebrating his win. He thanked the fans for their support during a taped segment the next week. | |

The Shahnameh has many examples. Most prominent would be Rostam, the manliest character in the entire book, bitterly crying when he realizes he's just killed his own son. Goodarz kills his long time rival and counterpart Piran, then sheds tears for him. |

The obligatory Manly Guys Doing Manly Things example. Also, the commander was once falsely told all of his siblings were dead......and he openly starts weeping just like anyone would after being told their whole family had died. | |

Ric Flair cried during his final match with WWE, cried at his Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and cried during his farewell speech. Ric's final match at WrestleMania 24 was so tear jerking, his opponent cried. Then again, Shawn Michaels is one of Ric's closest friends and called it an honor to wrestle Ric in his final match with WWE. |

Vasco from Lookism the architect student will sometimes burst into tears for no reason what so ever, he's also one of the biggest badasses in the series, but also one of the biggest idiots. He cries so often that the others will often beg him to stop. | |

Speaking of Triple H, we see this fully when he beat The Undertaker in 2018. A Mixture of Kayfabe & reality. He tearfully hugs Shawn before dropping to his knees and laying his head on the mat with Shawn there rooting for him. He composes himself and goes to help up Taker but the latter hesitated taking his hand. Triple H seems to lose his composure again as he kneels down with a Headbutt of Love and says something to his Kayfabe rival and real-life friend. After Taker takes his hand, Triple H helps him up & hugs him, still looking very tearful. note When he was still undefeated at Wrestlemania it was said Undertaker himself was ready to end the streak but Shawn & Triple H had too much admiration for him and refused to do so. Their match in 2018 was advertised to be their last one ever which everything would ride on, and Hunter beat him. While his crying made sense in Kayfabe given the characters' history, it probably wasn't planned so much as genuine emotion he was feeling at his final match with a longtime friend & idol. | |
