There's a biological reason why women cry in front of men....

[The Tradition]

Summary: A new study reveals that women’s tears contain chemicals that significantly reduce aggression in men. The study, which builds on known effects in rodents, employed a two-person game designed to elicit aggressive behavior in men, who unknowingly sniffed either women’s tears or saline.

The results showed a dramatic 40% drop in aggressive behavior and a corresponding decrease in brain activity in aggression-related regions after exposure to the tears. This research not only confirms the presence of social chemosignaling in humans but also challenges the notion that emotional tears are a uniquely human trait.

Key Facts:

1. Men exposed to women’s tears showed a 40% reduction in aggressive behavior.
2. Brain imaging revealed decreased activity in aggression-related regions when men sniffed women’s tears.
3. The study provides evidence of social chemosignaling affecting human aggression, similar to findings in animals.

Many times in my younger days, women cried from laughter in front of me. I'm pleased to know it wasn't because of what I thought it was.
