Gabriel has seen a lot of women cry - when they are being dragged out of his office. It was said people were attracted to things they couldn't have and he could confirm that. Throughout the years he has seen the length many women would go to draw his attention and their highest weapon was emotional manipulation.
If there was anyone that he hasn't seen shed a tear since he came of age even if the going was tough, that would be his mother, and thanks to that mentality, he despised women who cried. It made them look weak, emotional, and most of all unattractive.
And as he said, ninety percent of the tears women cried were emotional manipulation. They thought if they looked fragile and had those salty liquids glistening in their eyes that it would move him, but it didn't. Not one bit. Well until now.
