Poll: What would you do if a girl was crying in front of you?

[vodkainferno]

"Hey, is everything alright?" Should be noted that this is would be said hesitantly due to the lack of social skills.

 

[Captain Pancake]

I'd ask her what was wrong. unless somebody else was already consoling her, in which case she's alrerady got some support. I assume it could be a guy as well? If so, I dunno. It'd feel odd consoling a guy.

 

[Blue Musician]

Well, I haven't really met some girls crying in front of me, and most of the time it isn't about me (I think so), for firstly of all I ask her what happened or what's the matter, and if she replies I try to see if I can help her with her problem, but if it's about someone else, I'd doubt I could do anything about it.

Also it depends if I know that the person has talked to me, and if she has been a nice person, who isn't along with those assholes that hunt me in packs!

 

[child of lileth]

I would kindly say in their direction, "Stop it, or I'll bury you alive in a box!!"

Or maybe I'd just talk to them if it didn't feel too random and awkward. I forget which is the reasonable reaction to use. lol

 

[captainwolfos]

Mostly dependant on who it is. If it were my best mate, I'd have probably long since hugged her.
If it were my sister, I would either ignore her until she goes away, or tell her to piss off and go bug someone else.
In my sister's mind, 'I broke a nail' or 'the batteries ran out' are the only reasons she would show any emotion other than hyperactive retardation.

I have a pattern for this:

Talk to her. Possible options:
|--- It's about her boyfriend/fuckbuddy/guy she admires and who rejected her
|>>>>>>>>>>> I GTFO
|--- Something different:
|- Personal problems:
|--- The sort of shit where she tells you her life-story and yadayadayada
|>>>>>>>>>>> Gentle slap in the mouth and GTFO
|--- She tells you a bit and tells you not to bother
|>>>>>>>>>>> Take her to the next bar, have a drink, then a talk,
|--- She's reacting the "right" way and showing interest
|>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hook up ASAP, take her to your place or go to her, or just get her number
|________________(the latter applies only if she kissed you with the usage of her tongue)
|---------- She tells you her life-story and yadayadayada (without showing interest)
|>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Gentle slap in the mouth and GTFO
|- Problems of immediate matter:
|--- Some guy was mean to her.
|>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Solve situation(as long a there is a chance of "getting the girl"), use
|________________force if necessary(but don't let the girl watch. Go out, beat
|________________the shit out of him, and tell the girl you had a serious talk and that he will leave her alone in future.)
|--- Some guys are harassing her
|>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Help the girl in need, this is a matter of honor!

 

[holographicman]

is it wrong to talk a crying girl only she's hot/not a *****?

 

[irtaco]

Akwardly ask them if their alright?

 

[DanielDeFig]

Id talk to her and try to find out what's wrong and/or (in case she doesn't wanna talk bout it, for whatever reason) try to comfort her. Stranger, acquaintance or close friend wouldn't matter, i would feel awful if i ignored someone who's crying.

 

[robert022614]

i HATE when a girl cries it somehow takes control of me and makes me feel horrible and turn into a mindless slave and i would do anything to make them stop lol. maybe its because i grew up as the only boy with my mother and four sisters 8P

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

If there was no one else there I'd go up and ask what's wrong. If it was a room full of people but no one moved to do anything for a while, then I'd go and ask her what's wrong (to clarify, I'd wait to see if anyone came, then I'd go talk to her.)

It's all dependent on her looks there, though. It may sound shallow, but hey, I like my women pretty...

I would have worded it a bit more dishonestly, but this is basically what I would've said.

 

[Crossborder]

I probably can't comfort anyone anyways.

Explain?? You just don't know how, you don't have confidence in your ability, or what?

I have no idea why, but everytime I try to cheer someone up, I just end making it worse. I say the wrong things in the wrong way. I'd actually be doing the crying girl a service by not talking to her.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

At work, I ignore it. I work with a bunch of 16 year old girls and they are always crying or complaining about some stupid shit.

 

[SavingPrincess]

Wow, seeing all the genuinely nice responses to this thread it makes me feel bad for my initial thought:

Tell her it only hurts the first time.
[hr][sub]I'm most likely going to hell at some point; but seriously, who cries in public anymore? Most often if I see a girl crying in front of me, it was probably my fault.[/sub]

 

[Amberella]

I'd definitely try to cheer her up. I'm good for making people smile and laugh when their in a depression state. xD Also good for listening and talking to with issues. =] I like to help people. :3

 

[KimberlyGoreHound]

Well, a woman was just sobbing on the phone just outside this room, and I laughed, then told her to shut the fuck up.

No empathy here, captain.

 

[Paksenarrion]

Maddox suggest that the way to solve a 'crying girl' problem is to wipe out your dick.

...

Obviously, I'd try to comfort her if I knew her well enough. If not, let it be. Crying women don't open up to strangers, making the entire process pointless and infuriating.

'wipe out'? Is that like, 'wipe out an entire race', or like, 'wiping a window'? Either way, that sounds painful...but I guess it would cause enough of a commotion for a girl to stop and stare at you, all the while screaming, "HOLY $H!T WHAT THE F@&K IS WRONG WITH YOUR D!*K?! IT'S BLEEDING LIKE THE FOUNTAINS IN FRONT OF THE BELLAGIO!"

But in any case, I'd do the same as you: comfort her if I knew her, politely and awkwardly mind my own business if I don't know her.

Unless, of course, the reason she's crying is because her life is in danger, then I would definitely help.

 

[natster43]

I would probably go talk to her and see what was wrong.
