The fake cry move is an emotional manipulation tactic to the uninitiated
Breaking up with a dude but it “hurts her to do this”

- Fake cry
Caught doing or saying something sus and you not buying the bullshyt or to make the excuse more believable - Fake cry
Situation didn’t go her way but she wants it to- Fake cry
These are the situations I’ve noticed fake crying used the most. It’s a disarming tactic especially when dealing with a dude.
