For men, 66% of respondents revealed tears in less than 5 minutes each time, while 24% said they cried about 6-15 minutes. For the weaker sex, these 2 rates are 43% and 38%, respectively.
However, the number of women who cried for 16-30 minutes each time (11%) was twice as high as men (5%). The same is true for those who " cry " to 16-30 minutes or over 60 minutes.
