It depends.. With children, I believe so. You can tell when a child is hurt, or something is wrong when they are crying, or about to cry. With adults though, I don't think it matters. Some view it as a sign of weakness for guys, but for the most part with all the lieing and such that has taken place, you can't truly tell anymore about people, and if they are being sincere, or if the tears aren't just there to try and persuade you that they are sorry, or that they are hurt. Too many people use crying to get away from punishment, or to gain pity, you'd really have to read the person deep down to tell if they are expressing a true emotion, or using the emotion for their personal benefit. Tears of happiness even. People could fake those. Say you bought someone something, and they wanted you to think they were so happy that they turned on the waterworks. In reality though, they didn't like it at all, and if you stalked them for a week, you'd see them dropping off at the Salvation Army in a few days. Tears don't mean much anymore, unless you're a child, and even then, kids are learning, they fake sometimes too.
