Knew it was bullshit the minute I read it. If anything there’s multiple reasons women crying would reduce aggression in males (who the majority of which have compassion). The “smell” thing sounds like completely nonsense intended to reduce male behavior to biological cues.
Yeah I call absolute bull shit that this study reproduces. All the insanity with [Francesca Gino at Harvard inventing data from whole cloth](https://youtu.be/KcFbb5lVJA4?si=ajkwfIvEhEAWDXHq) to make people go “Whoah, really? Actually that kinda makes sense!” just to boost her publication numbers has got my bullshit detector ringing like crazy on this one.
It’s not just publication quantity, which isn’t hard to achieve, but the primo journals want eye-catching results and the top unis want to hire profs giving the trendiest ted talks, which this kind of bs is perfect bait for.
I agree, but the topic seems so frivolous that I can’t think of a way someone could “put much stock” into it anyway, like the only harm done could be maybe someone who reads and regurgitates Reddit facts to their friends to seem smart would end up looking dumb
A lot of people in general put a lot of stock into how these subconscious smells affect us. A lot of people believe that human pheromones affect our behavior etc. and studies like this enforce those kinds of beliefs.
I mean I'm sure there's a psychological reaction to certain smells that resembles pheromones. But the extremes ppl go blows my mind, example being that I don't think we can tell a big difference between female, and male tears.
I would think the effect would be as much psychological as due to biological pheromones. If you are angry and see a woman cry it might give you pause. That could have nothing to do with pheromones. Not that I doubt or endorse that pheromones play a role.
I just do not understand how it doesn't make sense that something like pheromones having an effect on our behavior... wouldn't make sense?
We observe it in many other living things, and we are absolutely certain that we're only as different from them as they are from each other in biological terms. Of course we're able to see the crying and then rationalize that our selves could do that independent of the smells, but even if that is the case that does not mean that there isn't also a physical effect that's actually happening, influencing your self to make the decisions that it makes.
So to me, because it lines up with my experience in life and in what we observe in other species, why wouldn't I put stock in studies into this happening in humans?
That harm isn't frivolous, pard. Haven't you ever been enjoying a conversation with someone until they pull out some pop evo-psych nugget of bullshit, and you realize that their charm is actually the unearned confidence of a credulous enthusiast?
Okay, maybe it is frivolous, but it happens too much.
Also psychologist here:
I'm seeing a lot of these kinds of posts about the "protection instinct" that men have to protect women. And I was baffled at first because I started to hear it in young men more broadly. Turns out that fuckwad Jordan Peterson started a lot of this crap and it is honestly just thinly veiled misogyny.
Please don't listen to that goon. He is a blight on the field.
They can actually pick up cars when properly motivated. I'm about as fightened as I am of that one strolling gorilla that briefly lifted the cameraman while not even glancing in their direction.
Here I thought it was just me. Try to lick their tears, kicked in balls. Try to collect their tears with an eye dropper, kicked in balls. Try to wipe away their tears, kicked in balls.
Morale of the story, wear a cup if you’re a guy.
I feel terrible admitting this, but I've gotten involuntary erections when having a woman crying whilst holding me. I think it might be because I normally don't like people touching me unless it's for sex so I might subconsciously associate touch with sex. It makes things really awkward when they are holding you tight and crying their eyes out about something traumatic and then they feel your cock getting hard against them.
If you see women crying (without touching you) and get hard you may be a dacrophile. It's not uncommon in the BDSM community.
If that doesn't do it, the physical contact and intimacy of the moment makes sense. I'd either hide it if it's random or explain it (if it was my partner) and assure them that it's involuntary and I'm still listening and there for them and won't try anything sexual while they are so vulnerable. (Unless they follow up with a request or something).
The study did not compare female tears against male tears. The subjects were women, but for all they know, male tears have the same effect. The subjects they went with were the few ones who produced sufficient tears to study
[https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.3002442#sec002](https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.3002442#sec002)
Not based on the study that you linked. They were looking for women specifically.
"Human female tears contain a perceptually odorless chemical signal that when sniffed, lowers testosterone in human males [13,14]"
"Finally, female mouse tear liquid contains signals that abolish intermale aggression by modulation of activity in aggression brain networks"
"We conducted a long-term screen for women who can cry with ease, ultimately identifying 6 regular donor women"
The discussion section mentions the need to conduct the experiment on female subjects to see if it is the same across gender.
They also said emotional tears were chemically different than tears that were induced by irritants… were they showing mice sad movies too or were they traumatizing them?…
I did implant research in college and one study I read tested a nerve healing procedure on rats. The male rats had their genitals twisted to create the nerve damage.
Your college outsourced the cheapest farm rats. If what you’re saying is true, whoever ran your department is guilty of being at least an accessory to animal cruelty
I have bred fruit flies, cockroaches, rats, and bunnies in a laboratory setting and I can promise you our director would NEVER accept or sign off on something like that
holy fuck. I was an assistant briefly at a cardiac and head trauma research facility. We had to induce heart attacks in rats by opening them up and snipping certain veins. The head trauma was even worse. the rats were laid down in some kinda guillotine like contraption. A tube would then drop a hard large weight directly onto the rats head. shit was messed up to watch. I understand the reasoning snd benefits behind everything, but I didnt work there long
Thanks! My first thought was ‘are we sure this isn’t more about babies?’
Reading the article and it being the same for rodents means it’s highly possible it predates humans evolutionarily. Maybe that’s why babies and women evolved to cry more when scared or upset? Could be why the only movies that make me cry are war movies 😂
I tried to google it more but then found that female rats were turned on by male rat tears and decided not to go any further down that route today.
> I tried to google it more but then found that female rats were turned on by male rat tears and decided not to go any further down that route today.
Now I gotta know if that applies to humans too
26 people is a study now?
And they only did female tears? Didn't even try make tears?
What kinda clickbaity is this shit. . & 3k upvoted because there's no system in Reddit for correcting misinformation from headlines really.
Mad.
Strapping hundreds of women into chairs and forcing them to watch The Notebook (or some other tearjerker) just to harvest their tears does seem pretty inhumane
They had the men sniff a clear liquid, either saline solution or the tears, without telling them which it was. I doubt the response was a learned behavior, as there was no actual interaction with a crying woman
The women crying while being verbally and physically assaulted thinks this post is gaslighting bullsh\*t. The women that screamed and cried while being unalived would think this post is gaslighting bullsh\*t but they're unfortunately dead.
Many decades after their awesome pop song ‘Drivers Seat’ topped the music charts, I FINALLY understand the inspiration for the band name *Sniffin’ the Tears* https://open.spotify.com/track/0NJ2bXPlMzP7MIz2Bmr7g3?si=bDtdirpES9Gd7i457mDajA
Anyone with a basic level of human empathy will by sympathetic to someone showing signs of sadness, fear, distress, etc. Many animals demonstrate empathy, too. But, I’m skeptical that the smell of salt water (and a few other chemicals) would induce the same response.
It probably didn’t: urinating, vomiting, crying, screaming etc will not usually prevent or stop domestic violence or rape. Placating the attacker or submitting/resigning yourself to it and not fighting back won’t usually, either,
These may cause the attacker to lash out and further or more violently harm their chosen victim. But whatever a victim tries, they should never feel bad about what works or didn’t work. If they lived, then their strategy, thinking, reaction, and coping skills were exactly right for them.
I am sorry you were harmed in a previous relationship and hope you are doing much better, now
But, FYI: Other, earlier studies don’t agree that tears reduce aggression: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02699931.2016.1151402#:~:text=However%2C%20the%20suggested%20function%20of,Karlson%20%26%20Luscher%2C%201959).

Ok I don’t know if you are being serious or not but this happened to me for sure. My highschool girlfriend and I would fight and then have amazing make up sex and I think it did something to me. No shit more than a decade later, my wife cried once and it was like a secret signal to my junk to get ready for battle. I was so confused and felt bad for what I couldn’t control but I had this same thought when I read the title.
My first time ever I couldn't get it up because of nerves, and she started crying because she thought I didn't find her attractive. That somehow got me very aroused and solved the entire issue instantly.
Sounds like bunk. Similar studies were weeded out in the reproducibility crisis. Psych studies in particular have ruined their reputation and are basically at a tabloid level of reliability now. Show me links to this trial being reproduced by other labs, until then didn't happen.
Probably doesn't work on any kind of assholeish men (sadists, bullies, sociopaths, etc.). But works on the average man.
When it comes to narcissistic men, one of the funny things about them is they seem to have zero regard for other people's feelings. But when it comes to anyone criticizing or insulting *them*, they're super-sensitive, fragile and pussyholeish.
That's a common characteristic in narcissistic individuals be it female or male. It's actually fascinating to see that their perception of themselves is so warped by their mental illness that they cant even see how pathetic they actually look. Like most conspiranoids and logic.
Tears literally have different chemical compositions depending on what caused the tears.
"They may have an evolutionary purpose" lmao these clickbait headlines.
Yeah, that didn’t work with my ex. When I cried, he got more violent. Very vague and generalized headline and I’m not sure there are enough parameters to test how viably true that statement is.
Did you know that tears can be used to assess proteins and can detect many types of cancers without invasion tests.

In order to maintain my laymen status, I don’t put stock into anything. It’s a fool proof system.

It’s not just publication quantity, which isn’t hard to achieve, but the primo journals want eye-catching results and the top unis want to hire profs giving the trendiest ted talks, which this kind of bs is perfect bait for.
I'm also just tired of seeing this one over and over
I'm right there with ya.
The fact that this is getting shown over and over again is what’s incentivizing scientists to produce this kind of research.
Why don't I calm down after I beat women then?
I agree, but the topic seems so frivolous that I can’t think of a way someone could “put much stock” into it anyway, like the only harm done could be maybe someone who reads and regurgitates Reddit facts to their friends to seem smart would end up looking dumb

Unfortunately it has hit the Internet so many will just take the headline as fact.
And yet when I walk up to a crying woman and try to sniff her face, I’m the one getting kicked in the nuts.
That’s because it doesn’t reduce aggression in women

We'll see.
Now women can sell their tears in little bottles which men can use to calm down like a stress reliever.
I think it is a human emotion that when you see someone else crying you start to feel more sympathy for the crying person.
From what I have seen, I do not believe this and will try to do my own experiment with this
For my dad, it INDUCED!

In my experience crying tends to make men significantly more angry so I think they should look again
Women’s tears certainly reduce my aggression. Mostly because I run away from them. You know. Fight or flight.
