How often do women cry?
April 7 – Women's Day in Mozambique
According to the German Society of Ophthalmology, which has collated different scientific studies on crying, women cry on average between 30 and 64 times a year, and men cry on average between 6 and 17 times per year. Men tend to cry for between two and four minutes, and women cry for about six minutes. Crying turns into sobbing for women in 65% of cases, compared to just 6% for men. Until adolescence, however, no difference between the sexes was found.

This is so off base it is incredible!

Personally, I would say 4-8 times a day. double that on Mondays. Now, if I'm having a bad day, oh my!

Crying is not an indicator of weakness or strength. How delusional and judgmental. Weather male or female it's about emotion and how you feel.

Kiara Is-me Pannuty -- Strong women cry too.

I disagree with this. I myself am quicker to tear up at a commercial or tears from laughter. It does not lead to sobbing. The people who did this survey must have some unhappy women in their lives. Just saying.

I think a more important question is "How many times a year does John Boehner cry?"
Spoiler alert, the answer is "WAAAYYYY TOO MANY!"

obviously growing up with 8 sisters did not give you a clear picture of women and their emotions...

must be all men doing this study. I thought that 100-134 was low! They came up with even a lower number! Same men that counted all the properties in an atom was it?

I am a woman and I would say between 100 and 134 per week I cry alot and often for example iam still crying over the Garissa massacre in Kenya since it happened last week. maybe that is for the German women.

Know a few friends with PBA, met them through physical therapy after some had been in accidents or had strokes. Hard disability when people around you don't understand. I pray you are blessed with good friends who laugh or cry with you so people just assume you have a great reason for either response. God bless! People can be so ignorant and cruel to my friends. That's enough to make me cry.

Did it ever occur to anyone that there are 12 mos. in the year, so average it out - that would be a lot of crying. Maybe the German women had more to cry about?
Eleanor Cummings
It'll be a cold day in you know where before I let anyone see me cry unless they're tears of happiness! My daughter is different. She'll cry at the drop of a hat.
