If a man cries, he is often taunted for this weakness and he is told that crying does not suit men and it is only for women. I believe you cannot stop crying when you fall into a situation. This is a feeling that arouses by itself without any discrimination of gender. Here are some of the interesting things about crying you should know before you cry next time. I am sure you will find it quite interesting.

1. Crying is a natural response to a feeling, usually sadness, though it could be extreme happiness in some cases.
2. Crying is always beneficial. It is a safety mechanism of the body, which helps the body get rid of stress-related toxins. If not removed, they could cause serious diseases like blood pressure, nervous breakdown, migraine or diabetes. These materials are formed when we are tense, under pressure and sad.

8. Purpose of crying changes with age. In the early year, baby crying is to fulfil their basic needs of having food. As the babies learn with age, at the age of 10 months, they also cry to gain attention, in addition to crying for food. Some scientist believe women continue this behavior throughout their life.
9. After the babyhood is over, boys and girls cry equally for almost the same reasons. As boys mature, their amount of crying lowers down. On the other hand, crying in girls increases at this age. Scientists believe women cry four times as much as men. According to a survey conducted on crying, women cried 64 times in a year while men cried only for 17 times.

11. In the middle age, the situation turns quite opposite as women cry less while more crying men are found with anger, mainly due to the changes in body hormones.
12. The reason women cry more as compared to men is that they are delicate, softhearted and more sensitive to feelings than men are.
13. One reason given why women shed more tears then men is that men have smaller tear glands than women and they cannot produce same volume of tears in one sitting.
14. If you hold your emotions for long, it could be dangerous for your health, always cry it out whatever you have inside. Forcefully preventing the emotional tears increases the risk of heart disease and hypertension.
