The other day I read women cry four times more than men in general.
What’re the reasons?

The ever popular hormonal changes women experience each month
probably account for a lot.

Probably because most men are jerks, well, all but me.

How could you ?? You beast

Naturally, men have been brought up not to cry. They have been told to be strong.

Remember the song "It's a Man's World"?

Probably because they watch too many romantic films, and read Mills & Boon romance books, doesn't really matter how the story ends, happy or sad, it causes

me ... i think its cause females look at things in different ways

but then again , one of my X room mates , he is more woman then any female i have ever meet <shrug>

so i dont think its a body thing ie p.m.s. or later in life learning how to not have p.m.s.

“Here's all you have to know about men and women: women are crazy, men are stupid. And the main reason women are crazy is that men are stupid.”

― George Carlin, When Will Jesus Bring The Pork Chops?

Didn't even read the posts to answer this question men were taught to be tough and fight when necessary to protect our loved ones at very least if we simply break into tears we feel abandoned that our lives are shallow and filled with nothing but emotions our forefathers didn't make us understand the men we became doesn't know what to do with such emotions and it creates anger instead... I have cried many times because of simple needless stuff before I became a poet I cried at nothing who I was was rather strong willed and fearless and likewise dumb but I still am... That as I grew older I started looking badass whereas young I was full of fight but a shrimp... And in all honesty it's still not wise to upset me either way :P

lol your words crack me up

Tears are a kind of language someone there might understand

Due to how a woman's wired and functions -partially caused by hormones- we are more in touch with our feelings and better able to deal with them and express them.
Although many have also learnt to not express them purely as a child, but it's still easier for us.
And before someone gets all irate, no, I'm not saying men don't have feelings!

Another reason why men won't often cry -apart from the physical differences that drive us- is societal training that they have to be 'a man' and 'a man doesn't cry'.

I have found being a poet to turn women away... they're interested if from afar maybe because it can be overbaring and needless to stop that once you become a poet that's who you are...

It is healthy for us all to cry yes that men replace tears with anger to be the man in any given way of life we confuse fear with this cannot be me? and which is psychologically damaging most men deny their inhabitions that they even have a problem at most want to be left alone and stew and boil... if men listened to a woman he'd be smarter and not as needed as much... who he became didn't seem to matter they can have talent and heart and deep down a really great caring guy and still no one cares... yea I'm not going to deny that was a personal note :(

Lol best answer so far

And, then...

There's the roller coaster ride of
inexplicable mood swings, aboard the
Bipolar Express.


*cue carousel music,*

Just FYI guys can be bipolar as well. And so dramatic you want to check for tacos.

I cry a lot. Sometimes joy, sometimes when I watch Lassie, sometimes when certain people don't listen to me

I wonder who

I tell you later

I dont like to cry at all. It gives me a headache. So rarely it happens anyways
