Is it true women don’t like it when men show vulnerability?

Question

I’ve heard how when women see a man cry they completely lose respect/desire for him. Although they supposedly want a man to open up to them 🫤

my view is that it’s pointless opening up to women as they can’t fix your issues anyway

Women will say they have nothing against vulnerability in a man because that's the politically correct response in polite society. And they will complain that men are "emotionally unavailable".

But the truth is they are lying to themselves and others with that response. Evolution and society has turned out a female gender who chooses men based on how well a man can protect them... physically, financially, emotionally. Women absolutely fear and hate conflict, chaos, danger, and accountability. They want a man who can take charge and make all that scary stuff go away. They want a man who is... fearless, decisive, confident, intelligent.

Any imperfection in a man's armor will produce an immediate subconscious negative perception by a woman that will erode her respect for said man to some degree. If a man shows enough weakness often enough, a woman will openly disrespect the guy.

So men suck it up and say nothing. We take that shit to our graves. We know how this works. I've had (several) married women confide in me that their husbands are too much of a pushover. Before they proceeded to fuck my brains out.

Well, it is a really good question. I think women do like it if a man shows vulnerabilty, However, this should happen occasionally, once in a while and should not be a regular thing.

Like a woman if a man is constantly displayin vulnerability then the woman will eventually lose respect for the man. She will see the man as soft and weak.

Women loove when men show vulnerability. It tends to be men shaming other men for being vulnerable or showing any emotions. Toxic masculinity type thing

They claim they do but the truth is that's just a cover up for their terrible personality. A lot don't, but there is some that do, I don't mean cry all the time, that's just expecting them to take care of a toddler, but if you are crying for a real reason and she loses interest she is a disgrace and doesn't deserve the term "wife" for any good man.

Just like anything in life it's not this or that. It's nuanced. If you cry over something small or cry all the time then you just look weak. If you never cry you seem heartless. If you show her a side that no one else gets to see then she feels special that you felt comfortable enough to let her see.

Most women today are very toxic and just don't realize it. Of course a woman likes a guy who shows vulnerability. But that is only if she respects him as a man first. Any woman that loses respect for a man that cries never respected him in the first place really. Furthermore, her respect is worthless. Too many women today (guys as well) live in a world where they feel like everything revolves around them. People do not exist for your approval.

In my experience,  they always liked it  and it brought us closer especially during an intense moment like a serious argument.

Women say what they think they are expected to say, but what they really want is a strong man who can protect them and not a boy who cries.

they like it if the type of vulnerability you're shoing makes her shine in a good light. if it makes you appear weak or incompetent, it makes them dry up fast and lose interest in you.

Only a real moron would think any of this is in any way connected to reality.

Women like vulnerability. What they don't like is seeing a man lose control and stability.
