Crying characteristics
I see a lot of new people here, so, this is for all, trying to know a little bit more of each other. I will start.
Gender: Male
How often do you cry (average): once every several months.
How intense do you cry: tears falling down cheeks, rarely sobbing.
Reaction to tears: Usually wipe tears when starting to fall, sometimes allow tears to fall unchecked, seldom wipe them from cheeks.
How long does your average crying fit last: less than 5 minutes.
Cry alone, someone you trust, don’t mind crying in public: I don’t like to cry, but if no option better with wife. I would be very ashamed if crying in public.
Do you like to cry: No, for any reason
Do you like to be comforted when crying, how: Yes, I feel better when my wife kisses a tear from my eyes or tenderly wipes them from my cheeks.

Re: Crying characteristics
Gender: Non-binary/Genderfluid
How often do you cry: A few times a month on average. Sometimes more if my depression acts up.
How intense do you cry: Anywhere from eyes welling up to intense sobbing and shaking.
Reaction to tears: Will let them fall up to a point, then will wipe them with my hands or with tissues.
How long does your average crying fit last: At least several minutes. Can be on and off for hours at worst.
Cry alone, someone you trust, don't mind crying in public: I don't like to cry too badly in public, but I don't mind if a few tears fall. I do prefer to cry either alone or with someone I trust, though.
Do you like to cry: When I'm feeling really upset, I like to cry to release it all. Before I started HRT, I used to not be able to cry as much as I would like, but now my emotions are a full-body experience, and crying can be a good release.
Do you like to be comforted when crying, how: Absolutely. If I can cry in someone's arms, I very much enjoy being comforted.

Re: Crying characteristics
I have a confession. I like surveys.
Gender: Female
How often do you cry (average): 10-30 times per year depending on number of emotional events
How intense do you cry: tears falling down cheeks most of the time. Sobbing more often recently.
Reaction to tears: Usually wipe them from cheeks or let them fall unchecked.
How long does your average crying fit last: Usually around 5 minutes. Can easily go up to 10 minutes though.
Cry alone, someone you trust, don’t mind crying in public: Usually alone, in front of my wife, or during a conversation with one or two other people. Sometimes public crying is inevitable so I don't stress out about it when it happens.
Do you like to cry: If it's happy crying then yes!
Do you like to be comforted when crying, how: Yes, physically. Hugs and kisses.
