See women can make themselves cry. Men aren’t so good at it because we get negative feedback from childhood that crying gets us be a big boy when younger, to later, man up wimp.
Women don’t like men using a manipulation tactic they feel only they can use. Its why its discouraged in men early on from women, and also guys. For genuine emotions, its not societally acceptable for most situations its no problem for a woman to cry about. Few exceptions are major losses, loyal pets, close family, destruction of a house, etc. And even then, not a full breakdown like women might do.
Actually, I never cry except for those major losses, deaths of pets, family. I have always hated that crying thing. I have even told people that is what a baby does, because of not knowing how to solve something. I’ve always believed in solving your problems and I don’t try to manipulate people. I think that is kind of an evil thing to do.
Btw, that guy was a total liar.
