Why Don’t Men Cry: ‘A man never hurts’, ‘Sensible boys don’t cry’. You must have heard such dialogues a lot in your childhood in your home and also in films. It sounds strange but it is true that men do not cry as compared to women, or cry rarely. Why do you feel awkward seeing a man cry? It is not just a matter of courage and masculinity, it is not a matter of respect at all, what is the reason behind it which stops men from crying publicly and being emotional. Is there really a chemical reaction behind this?
Let us know why men are zero in expressing their feelings by crying? After all, why do men cry very little? Let us tell you that an interesting study was done on this behavior of men in 2011, whose report says that a woman cries 30 to 64 times or even more times in a year, that too in public. On the other hand, if we talk about men, they do not shed tears more than five to seven times in the whole year.
Not one but two hormones are responsible
Behind this, that hormone found inside men is responsible, which makes them more powerful and stronger than women. Yes, the name of this hormone is testosterone. This is the same hormone which is considered to be an example of masculinity and its more or less formation in a man controls the sexual activity of that man. This hormone prevents men from crying and getting emotional, it reduces emotional intelligence and prevents tears from flowing.
What is research
In a recent research, a professor from Holland has considered prolacton hormone as the reason behind less tears of men after research. Prolacton hormone makes man emotional and excites to express expression. Now know about work, prolacton hormone is negligible in men and its quantity is more in women. That’s why women cry more and get emotional because of the hormones chugging inside them. On the other hand, the masculinity hormone of men stops them from crying.
it’s really science
That is, next time if you see a man crying by mistake, instead of cursing him, think that prolacton hormone has become a little more active in his body. It’s just this and for centuries, tears have been made the weapon of women, and men remain bereft of the sea of tears under the guise of social respect, while the pure reason behind it is scientific.
