Do you think teenage boys cry more than adult men?

    I can personally attest to that fact, then again I haven’t had just cause to cry in ten years :eek:

    My grandmother is fading fast and there's no doubt that I will cry at her funeral, but otherwise I don't cry without good cause like I used to.

    This seems pretty obvious to me.

    Teenagers, male and female, can be emotional trainwrecks. It's a tough time and people aren't all too understanding. "It's the best time of your life!" Ha! I wouldn't go back to high school if you paid me.

    So I certainly wouldn't be surprised. It seems to me that adult men are more likely to get angry at the things that might have made them cry when they were younger, but that's coming from an outsider looking in. ;)

    Yeah, of course they do. Thats like asking if a two year old cries more than a 7 year old.

    Yeah of course they do, all teenagers are more angsty then when they are adults... of course individualy some one may have had a really happy teenage life and a real miserable adult life.

    Adults cry more.

    You're an adult far longer that you are a teenager. You're going to witness alot of sad occasions. Parents and relatives and friends will slowly die off. Wars will come and go. You'll cry for you children and your grandchildren.

    If anyone asks me, I tell them I'm man enough to cry.

    i cried more in my first 20 years than i think i'll ever cry again. i'm just not much of a cryer. at the end, i still have an awful situation, and to be fully honest, i don't have very many people in my life i care about enough to cry over when they die. family, close friends, that's not a whole lot of people. but yes, i consider death to be pretty much the only thing that can still make me cry.

    unless i'm sick. then i'm a big ol' baby. crying just makes me feel worse, though.

    yeah, I'm surprised nobody got the right answer until xexon.

    however, there's no doubt that the average teen male cries more consistently than the average adult male.

    Depends how you define more, although you didnt actually write the question good for you having the innate answer to such a deep philosophical question. :rolleyes:

    The only time l recall crying as a teenager was when that family in little House on the Prairie inherited what they thought was a hefty sum of cash which made them take stuff from that store ownin robber on tick and then discover that the inheritance was in Confederate money so fuckin useless and that store ownin slut was on their fuckin backs trying to get her money back. Christ I'm wellin up now.
