While shedding some tears might get you back in your lover's god graces, it won't win you manly points. However, the key to showing emotion is knowing when to turn it on and when to shut it off. In certain instances, women will find a guy who isn't afraid to show his feelings damn sexy. In other instances, she will find you insecure and weak.

The key showing an acceptable display of emotions is knowing when it's acceptable to turn on the waterworks and when to check yourself in check. Tip: if she's not crying, you probably want to hold off on the tears.
