Is it true that giving emotional support to a guy will get you stuck in the friendzone?

[Anonymous]

So I heard a dating coach who was saying that it's actually a bad sign if a guy talks to you about his feelings or problems and needs emotional support. They said it means you will be stuck in the friendzone, because emotional support is not a love need of a guy. Is this true?

I do not believe this is true for women that form a connection with men but it might be true with men who form a connection with women. I’ve heard stories of men who fell in love with unattractive women after forming emotional connections with them.

Who the hell is this retard coach giving out shitty advice about men? Is this dating coach a woman?

Giving a guy emotional support will absolutely not put you in the friendzone; it will most likely do the opposite because emotional support *is* a need for many guys. It builds trust, provided you give him the type of support he needs.

The things that will get you friendzoned are a) looking unattractive b) acting unattractive (i. e. not meeting his emotional needs)

No, I would not say that is true... actually very much the opposite.

Jesus, I hope you're not paying that "coach".

So you're, what, not supposed to let someone you're dating be emotional until he puts a ring on you, then all of a sudden he's supposed to be emotional?

Where's that fucking sense?

No.
Be there to support your male friends. Be there to support the men in your life if they need someone to talk to.

Wow, what a shit take. Seriously, get a refund. Stop listening to that hack.

They are totally wrong.

If a person shares their problems with you, it means they feels comfortable around you.

Which I assume it is a good thing for a lover to have.

Any man who talks with any woman about his problems is a fool.
