This happened not long ago, I've known my best friend for 6 years and she started crying in front of me so I just gave her a hug. I'm such a soft-ass...
Poll: What would you do if a girl was crying in front of you?

Depends how hot she is.
Also, the degree of grief displayed...(e.g. if she's bawling and kinda dribbling a bit, I might keep my distance).

Assuming I know them (which is what you alluded to in your post): Try ot help.
Some random girl: Go about my business.

Well I find a lot of sad and lonely girls town lately ... its all about love lost, heart breaks and all that depressing stuff. If I had the power and some kind of universal positive word for all of them I would go speak to each one I see without hesitation ... Depression is just bad for your health. Not long ago a 16 year old girl who a lot of us knew had problems in school and with her parents because of that, the only thing she had left was her loving boyfriend and ... well he left her (dunno the real reason) ... the poor girl couldn't take it and unfortunately she hanged herself, may she rest in peace ...
I would try to help her. I mean, I can't just leave her there by herself to cry. Unless she looks like a witch from Left 4 Dead, then I would just run away.
Depends on who they are / what they mean to me. If it's one of my girl bestfriends then I'd ask them what's wrong, if it's someone who's commonly bitchy to me, I'd leave her in her misery.
Depends. A lot.
If it is my sister, I am going to either a) ignore her or b) give her my patented "I know what you are doing and I don't buy it so give the fuck up" superfrown.
There is also a certain friend of mine who I would mostly react to with cold stares and blunt responses. Assuming she starts the conversation. Because it is not like I am going to initiate it, I'm not interested in wanting to strangle her for being such an obvious attention whore.
(I say that with love)
But yes, if it was anyone else, I would mostly just browbeat them into telling me what's wrong, and either logic them into feeling slightly better, fix the damn problem, or crack an inappropriate joke of some sort.
Also, if they are super lucky (or unlucky, depending on how you view it), I may offer a hug.
This all applies to either gender, though, really.

Obviously, though. It tends to be right in suggesting you can cheer a man up easily with a few drinks and boobs. Works for me. Then again, some men are varying as well, of course.
OT: Honestly, I would probably go up to her and ask what's wrong. Possibly potential ulterior motives, but if nothing else, I'd try to be genuinely concerned.
literally in front of me, like she was about to try and talk to me? I'd ask her what's wrong and comfort her depending on the answer
If she's just crying near me, I'd ask her friend if "she's alright"
Once a girl was walking past me in school, when she suddenly screamed in anger and thumped the wall, shouting about some idiot boy who'd upset her. Then she stormed off. I asked her friend if she was alright, I wouldn't have dared try to engage such an angry person in conversation (particularly if I don't know her (which I didn't))

If I knew her, then I'd definitely try and help her. If I didn't, I'd also probably ask what's wrong. Aren't I a good person 
Leave/Ignore. It's none of my business. I probably can't comfort anyone anyways.
I'd probably leave, though. Just ignoring it is bit obvious.

Elle-Jai said:Ok, so as per the thread http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.193598-Poll-If-you-cry-youre-weak we've established that it's ok to cry AS LONG AS there's a good reason. "I broke my nail" or "the batteries ran out" are not "good reasons" according to that thread.
So, let's assume that this mysterious girl (your sister, your cousin, your best friend, your girlfriend, that shy girl at school, whoever) has a good reason, and she's crying in front of YOU.
What do you do? Instinctive response, not PC

How can they be mysterious if they are related to us/dating us
