During my life I have seen many people injured: first as a sportsman, then as a professional coach, and recently offering my attendance as a volunteer to a first aid station located in a famous skiing centre.
In spite of the fact that women are considered to have higher pain threshold then men, I noticed that they are very frequently in tears when they are in pain, often really crying, while men can be noisy but hardly ever in tears.
This is a fact, a statistic based on a very high number of events, that can't be refuted.
Personally I don't think there is anything wrong in crying when hurt, I'd just like to know why women do it more easily (regardless of age, status etc.).
Is it due to physical, psychological or educational reasons?
Let me know your opinions.
