In a documentary, Prince Harry is talking about his mother, the late Princess Diana. Honestly he admitted that only shed tears for the death of her mother twice in the 20 years since his death.
"The first time I cried while on the funeral and since it may well be. People facing grief in a different way, and my way is to turn it off, lock it, "said Harry in a film broadcast on Channel 7, one of the TV channels in Australia.
Women Have Big Ass Will Be Long-lived
Recognition of Prince Harry as it confirms the image of the man who is indeed not easy to cry as much as women.
Professor Ad Vingerhoets did some research in the Netherlands to better understand human tears. In this study he compares the ratio of male and female tears.
The woman turns to tears between 30 and 64 times a year, and men only cry between 6 to 17 times each year.
Georgia psychologist Ray explains there are some sociological and physiological reasons very clearly why the men shed a little tear than women. "Men are less crying for reasons related to the nature and upbringing," he said.
He adds, "men have the level of prolactin (a hormone found in the emotional tears) which is much lower than with a woman."
So, fisiologisnya explanation is hormone related. But there was also another reason that is quite clear, that is, culture. "Stereotypes and expectations of society makes men reluctant to show tears emotionally," said Ray.
In short, men have less of the hormone that allows human beings to cry, and when they do, the social environment will judge.
