Lets get the facts right....It is found that women cry approximately 4 times more than men do(Federer brings a heavy dent to this statistic )
But, why is this so? there have been multiple reasons put forward. I believe it is essentially a mixture of Nurture, nature and tactical moves(explanation coming up)...surprising, may be true!
The social system is such that men are not expected to cry,boys are teased and made fun of when they cry, they are taught to display strength and independence and leave all the emotion to women making a girl feel that tears are her ultimate evolutionary inheritance.
Also biological factors play a major role...women are well evolved to cry much better than men, tear glands are ever ready and waiting for the slightest trigger.(please do not ask me for any proof..its just a hypothesis, which most probably is true.)
The other reason rarely researched is,women sometime cry when they need to get a job done, men inevitably fall for it(as they always want woman to be happy ;) )
That reminds me of Hillary Clinton, on the eve of the NewHampshire Primary, all polls were pointing to a certain Obama victory, during her last address to the press, Hillary unleashed her most potent weapon yet..."a teary eye"!. What happened next has put the whole presidential process on a completely new trajectory...since US presidents have the best political clout....now we see that womens tears could be linked to major global ramifications....phew!
All said, the exact reason why women cry so frequently is yet to be explored and understood....my view is it could be a random mixture of the above.

you may want to read this for "scientific proof". Your explanation seems rather crude to me.
Are you implying that women shed tears for sympathy just men will buy you a drink for sex?
I forgot to add that I am not a misogynist, rather some one who understands every woman is special like every man is...we all are special.
As we all are entitled to our own judgments, that was your inference of the blog, that is appreciated.
Most of the points mentioned in the link were noted in the blog too, with an addition of a teary eyed women...the keyword in the blog being "sometime", i never stated all women are so...a possible inference of the point could be a sad and teary eyed wife who couldn't buy a jewelery or any other thing which she very much longed for.
Also the connotation you observed is rather a figment of an extremely stretched imagination...which was too far away from the author's reference frame...as I said before we all are entitled to our own view points and the ability to do so is exactly what makes us all special.
I'm of this strong opinion that men cry too, but only not in public. Don't assume me for a feminist but women are quick with tears , yes and quick with wiping them off too. That was a nice analysis :) .
Thank you but I can be extremely imaginative and creative. :)
yes, it is evident from your blog, really appreciable.
this morning i had 2 plates pongal and 3 vada
How relevant is that pic for this post? Women crying frequently?? I mean I don't cry frequently..neverthless..lemme ask you.. how come men are the heights of egoism? Women are expected and do compromise majority of the times,speaking genuinely. And Anush what's with your breakfast schedule..Is the world upside down..or is it me? :)
@crazybugga
thats amazing man, I am really happy for you.
@Neha
I didn't want to show a crying woman there.....no specific reason...chumma put it :)
Are men really the heights of egoism?? there is a lil bit of ego in everyone.
Compromise.....a widely believed myth is that men never compromise...but they do, when it comes to the essential requirements!!
hey you know maybe you might compromise..but I've seen a lot of men who are too egoistic. And about men being the heights of egoism ..definately!! I can't be this sure about anything : ) And you chumma put the pic huh..hmmm
For the love of Peace!!!!
Women DONOT cry more than men. They are more comfortable with themselves ad unlike men have not been conditined to be ashamed of tears. If you don't see many men cry doesn't mean they don't.
Nice blog :)
actually i think men cry just as much, we just mastered the art of crying silently within our hearts.
it is a ego problem if someone else see us cry.
ummm lemme start by sayin i second neha ... n atomicgitten.... if women happen to be more comfortable in just being themselves n not holding back their emotion , i'd say its something really nice... n male ego..some men may ve it less some may ve more of it ..... but every guy ((i ve met till date ...)) has it ...
btw
men do cry ...
