Sappy movies
Titanic has been the greatest cause of the wells of tears for women who love romantic flicks. Even if you refrain from watching such flicks, try the one mentioned here and see your reaction. Do not forget to carry a box of tissue with you. This is just one clichéd example for there is a vast plethora of such examples. Be it tears welling up in eyes or the uncontrolled wails after seeing a disheartening and sad movie, she is bound to cry. Make no efforts to ease her. That would just be useless.

Weddings
Weddings are happy occasions. The only tragedy is that it turns too happy for the women folk. Seeing the bride walk down the stairs and towards the aisle is enough for the women around to brim with tears. They are simply happy tears or so they say. There might be a whole story behind those tears. Taking the not so popular explanation (you never know) they might be just too jealous of the beautiful bride and cannot suppress that emotion and hence it outpours in tears. There might be other noble reasons too which of course we all are familiar with; the same thinking about their wedding days.

Being a woman it becomes natural to experience motherly feelings on holding a baby even if that baby isn’t yours. So strong are those inherent motherly emotions that it gives rise to a surge of unstoppable tears. How can something so miraculous and angelic not evoke a tearful joy?

Being heartbroken
Sad enough but the fact cannot be escaped that we all undergo heartbreaks in our life. Believing in someone and thinking of a future with them is something that most of the women do in one or the other phase of their life. Seeing those unspoken and precious dreams shattered ceases the existence of something deep within the heart. In worst situations, it leads to the creation of a void that seems unable to be filled ever again. It is in the frustration of filling up that void once again where the source of the sadness lies. Some women manage to put on a brave smile and pretend like nothing ever happened while others openly moan the loss or the heartbreak. Either way, there are tears shed, some noticed and some oblivious to others. Those are tears of remorse of being unable to move on in life while the other person clearly has.

When pampered endlessly
Yes, these evoke the very famous, ‘happy tears’ again. If she is made to feel continually special and pampered, then it is very likely that she would burst into tears. Firstly you would raise a step higher in the list of her favorite persons. She is bound to become emotional on being taken care of very nicely if she is the one having doing that for others since ages. Try taking care of your mother by cooking her meals three times a day, massaging her temples and allowing her to rest. It is not a probability but a surety that she would get all miffed by tears. This might be the only time you hear this. It would be good to make your mother cry but only for the right reasons.

It can be one of the most challenging experiences a girl could deal with. Here she has to soothe and take care of that one friend who has been doing so for her since ever.

Social messages

Parting with a loved one
Bidding farewell to a loved one can be an emotionally crippling experience. Women might succeed in hiding those tear drops from sliding down their cheeks in public. It is only in solitude that they give in to tears with nobody around to comfort and stop them.

Basically, it is the sudden uncertainty that takes a toll on them and leaves them crumbled in tears.

Anger
