Yep, I can sympathize, since I have glasses. I don't take them off if there are just a few tears (especially if I'm watching a movie). But if there's going to be more intense sobbing, I'll often remove them. And anyway, usually when I'm crying hard, I'm lying in bed/burying my face in my pillow, so I definitely have my glasses off then. If I'm crying on my boyfriend's shoulder, I'll also take off my glasses. I don't have a ton of personal experience with sobbing while I'm in public or not in my own home (actually, none, now that I think about it). If I were in the car (not driving, of course), I'd definitely leave them on, but that's mostly because I'd feel dizzy if I didn't have my glasses on while the car was moving. I can remember one or two times when I sobbed while in the passenger seat, and the glasses stayed on.

I don't have any experience with contacts, but I have sometimes wondered what the logistics of that would be and whether the tears interfere with the lenses.

Last time I had a long hard cry the tears washed the lenses right out of my eyes.

I love to see men with glasses cry. My boyfriend from high school had glasses, and he only cried in front of me once, but it was awesome.

eyes. The strange thing is, she has started to do a very mild but open-mouthed lip curl at the moment when she's wiping her eyes. The lip curl disappears the instant she stops wiping her eyes.

Yes, I actually addressed this on my thread about lip curl types. I personally don't consider someone to be a real lip curler if they only lip curl while wiping their eyes. The mouth goes downwards I think to create more space between the eyes and the cheeks while wiping tears, so it's not a direct cause of crying.
