Babies do not shed tears and do not really cry during the first months, their lacrimal glands are still poorly functioning.
From the 3rd, 4th or 5th month of life, children cry easily and for a long time, but their crying is easily distinguished — when it is crying from pain, when it is to attract the attention of adults or to insist on one’s own.
Teenage boys practically forbid themselves to cry — it’s not like a man. On the other hand, inside, in the soul, teenagers are sometimes very hurt and really want to cry. Whether a teenager cries or not depends on his upbringing and his hormonal status.
Crying is basically hormones. Any good doctor simply by the physique of a boy — male or female — will confidently tell whether this boy is inclined to cry or not.
Adults cry less often, men very rarely or, some, never at all. The reasons are different — and moral prohibitions, and simply stopped playing in childhood.
In men after 50, tears easily appear again and the voice trembles during touching events — due to the fact that by this age male sex hormones begin to wash out and men acquire more feminine features and outlines.
Old people cry more often again.
