Women cry very often! The reason for her tears is going to be a sincere and deeply felt emotion. Women respond emotionally to a lot of different situations, so it can be difficult to figure out exactly what's going on with her. The only way she'll be able to start to feel better, however, is if she feels heard and supported. Whether she's feeling hurt by someone (maybe even you) or is feeling frustrated or helpless in a situation she has no control over (perhaps trouble finding a new job), she may resort to tears as a release for her pent-up frustrations. In such a fragile state, your girlfriend isn't looking for a trite Mr. Fix-It synopsis of the matter, she's most likely just looking for someone who is willing to validate her feelings and give her the support she needs to solve things on her own.
You better make that box of tissues handy…
We can intuit that men cry less often than women owing to social conditioning; crying doesn’t really fit in with our image of stereotypical manhood, after all, and that’s no doubt a partial explanation of why men are more likely to hold in their tears. But men may also be biologically built to shed fewer tears.
