Study Shows Women Cry More than Men. Really? They Needed a Study for That?

Dutch researchers recently did a study on 'Why Only Humans Weep.'

Some of the findings they came back with were women cry a lot more than men - up to 64 times a year, compared to only 17 times for men.

Women also cry longer - up to 15 minutes.  Whereas men usually cry less than five minutes per occasion.

Researchers suspect it may be because women watch more 'tearjerker' movies than men.

On a related note, according to a recent Esquire survey, the three movies that usually bring men to tears are Saving Private Ryan, The Shawshank Redemption and Babe - the movie about a talking pig.
