I remember crying (lots of tears) one morning before going to work in the afternoon - as I walked into work it struck me that no-one had any idea that just 2 hours before tears had been streaming down my face. I wondered what they would all think if they knew.

This is actually one of my favorite things. I love the secret aspect of it, how people cover it up and don't mention it. I love it when my boyfriend has been crying and then we go out in public later, maybe see some of our friends, and no one else knows except us. As you say, it's like being let in on a secret.

As for your question, I did see a couple tears. It was weird, I didn't really feel like I was crying anymore, but I still had enough tears leftover in my eyes that they rolled down my cheeks. Maybe two or three, or two and a half (two real ones and one little one that just hung out around my lower eyelid).

Oh, also, I don't know if this would be at all interesting, but I tried to conduct a sort of informal, slightly rubbish crying questionnaire on my close male friends at university one evening, when we'd all been drinking a little bit and were playing a game where you ask personal questions, and I asked about the last time they had cried. Out of four men, one had cried very recently, one over the summer (it was October at the time), one the previous term and one could not remember the last time he cried (that was my boyfriend - just typical, I pick the stoic one). So three out of four had cried in the last six months. Very small sample size, but I was surprised that it had not been too long since three of them had cried.

Very interesting!  Wonder if they defined it (in their heads) as the sobbing type of crying or just getting misty eyed.  Either way, cool that you brought it up.
