Why do women cry?

[peacemaker]

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him.
"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"

"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.

Finally he asked God. He said, "God, why do women cry so easily?"

God said:

" When I made the woman she had to be special.
I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort.

I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.

I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.

And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."

"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."

It's funny how when something "bad" happens , it initially makes people sad that leads people to cry ...but are we really sad because we are upset about the situation, is it a loss, or are we sad because we feel hurt ,rejected..etc?? just an excuse to share ;)

Bakit ang mga babae umiiyak? Ang pag-iyak ay maraming klase, may malalim
may mababaw na dahilan. kahit kasi maligaya ka umiiyak ka..oras nang pagdadasal
tumutulo din luha natin. Minsan yung pagtingin mo lang sa paglubog ng araw
kahit anong ganda pa nito,di rin natin mapigil ang maluha. Mainam kung
iluluha mo ang ano man nasa loob mo, lalo na nasa oras ka ng kalungkutan,
kasi nakaka-gaan talaga ng pakiramdam.....walan g gamot sa pagluha :(

:( A lot of times I cried...Happy or sad.
I see it's healthy to cry,not just to relieve
sorrows but cleanse the eyes.
I can't say goodbye to tears,coz' I live with
it through the years.
In fact I fall inlove with my tears,that's why
I like seeing them falling one by one like a
rain.I don't like using johnson's baby shampoo
coz' it says "No more tears".hehehe
For me tears is a natural remedy not just
to cleanse the eyes but good for the heart.

I like the story anyway,keep on posting and
let us share ha?..not the tears of sorrow but
tears of joy.:O

Do they cry because they are women? Or are they women because they cry? :confused:

A nurse, who once worked at a mental institution, told me that where she worked there are so many male patients compared to only a few females. She said one factor for the low percentage of mentally-challeged women is their tendency to cry. Women, according to her, cry when they are scared, they cry when they are depressed, and for so many other reasons. By crying, they are able to release negative thoughts and therefore feel better. Men, however, do not cry much and therefore need some other way of releasing the negative thoughts. I don't know if this is a medical fact or just her theory. :D Is there some truth to this?

In reality, not only woman cries, including men too...crying is like an inborn behavior that every human has regardless of gender. Sounds silly to other men but this is real...

Kailangan daw ng mga babae na umiiyak.para maging matatag at humaba buhay..hindi ko lang matandaan kun saan ko nabasa iyan..and crying is the woman nature daw..

i agree with anakin. not only the women cry! even men do! it's just that women are generally more emotional and expressive than men! more often than not, they express emotions by crying! it's an outlet for intense emotions!

sometimes, it feels good to cry when you are in a very tight spot! especially when you don't have someone to share it with!

but it doesn't mean that you are weak! it only proves that you are human! :)

I agree with you all. Both men and women cry:cry:. Only, women often do it, in whatever situation they are in! Happy, sad, in love, most specially if life is a litle bit fuzzy.....and when you think that everywhere you go everyone is demanding, full of angst with no good reason at all!!! Hmmmp I wish I could ignore all these.....

But then after you cry, you feel fine di ba? I also think it's one way of blowing off steam, aside from writing down notes.....on what you feel and think. Women can cry in the open. Men don't show their tears. They don't. But when they get to be alone....tears fall. Who says men are the stronger sex? In some aspects like love they also cry....like us women....not often but really,really hard.

Sometimes life and love's just so confusing, and the more you try to figure it out, the more incomprehensible it seems. Maybe we should give our hearts a break, and give our minds some downtime.....so we won't have to cry....but instead feel pretty good overall.:D:yippee: So hush little baby don't you cry...
