I generally think that you should mind your own business. However once when I was in my 20’s, crying on the train, mascara running down my face, a woman just said to me, “He ain’t worth it” as she got off the train never looking at me or otherwise trying to interact. She was, of course, right. I still think of her from time to time and I’m grateful for her wisdom and compassion.

I've also had a woman try to tell me a guy wasn't worth it when I cried on the subway - I was on the way back from Sloan Kettering visiting my terminally ill mother. She did not improve my day. People should, at the very least, not make assumptions about why a woman is crying.
