Are women biologically wired to loose attraction to emotionally weak men?

[Anonymous]

Seen it happen when it’s like a light switch, and when women see their boyfriend breakdown, in an emotionally weak state, or anything of the sort, they loose attraction from 100 to 0.

Are women wired to only be attracted to emotional strength in men, and loose that attraction if they see another side to him?

NOPE!

I've seen it time after time after time after time,,, where something drastic happens in a man's life and he breaks down emotionally and his lady is there to support him.

Now if you want to get to the issue of anthropology and what people are biologically wired to do,,, women are biologically wired to loose attraction quicker to men who are more physically weak.

And women who have gone through childbirth and raised a child are much more accepting of a man's weakness than those who haven't done so.

Generally speaking, women want a man who is stronger than them on some aspects,,, as far as being able to provide and to protect her and their family.

Though if something drastic happens, such as a very close family member, a sibling or parent of his who was suddenly and tragically passed away,,, most mature females that I know of are accepting and supporting of him if he lets loose emotionally and becomes weak.

But if you are talking about a situation of 24/7,,, yeah,, women are generally biologically wired to loose attraction in that situation. And generally it's because of some kind of abuse that has been experienced.

<<<>>>>ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! I've seen couples where he was the leader and decision maker and by all appearance emotionally strong. And she followed him. But when he had to have quadruple bypass heart surgery and was basically an invalid for 2 weeks, she stepped up and became a very strong leader and did things. And neither one of them lost any amount of respect for each other. Nor did they loose any amount of affection for each other.

It's not quite that simple, but you're not wrong. Natural selection pushes us in very specific directions- like men being attracted to young, healthy, fertile women.

One can, of course, overpower instinct- we're animals, but we're not JUST animals, unless we choose to be. These days, however, it's far more popular to simply deny biological realities, and thus have no real hope of changing them- thus the constant push for men to "open up emotionally" to women, who are repulsed by it even after asking for it specifically, and since they're not self-aware enough to see their own biological drive for what it is and say "go to Hell- I'M the one in charge of my own brain!", they simply dump him, lie to themselves about why they did it, and start the cycle all over again with a new guy.

Typically, from a biological standpoint, probably. However, looking at this question from a subjective point of view, some women may find emotional vulnerability to be attractive, and it could have the opposite effect. It all depends on the person.

To a nontrivial extent, yes... sort of...

Women are evolved to select males that they feel will best be able to:
1. Protect her and the kids that he fathers.
2. Help raise those kids.
3. Have genes from him that she can pass on to her kids so that her kids can do the same thing with the next generation.

If a woman senses a man may not be adequate with any of the three items, she will "de-select him" for mating... her attraction will go way down.

It’s spelled ‘lose’. And yes an emotionally weak man isn’t able to protect her and her offspring like a strong man. So she will feel like attraction and more sympathy towards him if he’s emotionally weak. Obviously tears isn’t always a sign of weakness.

Yeah I got shamed by women for crying over my pet cat of ten years. Those bitches who lose attraction by seeing men are bad , they deserved to be pumped and dumped. Guys aren’t robots. Men should always choose women who will support them in their good and bad times. Apart from sex men want emotional support from their girlfriends.

If a guy is emotionally weak it’s a huge turn off. You’ll die single, or marry a fat woman with no options.

I have a very pretty girlfriend who loves me in both my good and bad times , she’s also incredibly smart and from one of Ivy leagues. Intelligent girls always choose well rounded guys from all sides. It’s the dumb whores who avoid men with less EQ and IQ , as they are the same.

I am a trans man, but I am also gay, so I feel I might have a little bit of opinion here. I love when a man is honest and can be emotional with me. In fact, that is an instant green flag that gives me the A-OK about them. If they show no breaking point or emotion, that's a big red flag. Not saying that you have to cry or something, but you can't just hide your emotions. Exceptions are people who struggle showing emotions, i. e, autistic, adhd, add, so on and so forth.

[genericname85]

yup. and that's when a womans character shows. if she leaves him then, she wasn't worth his time to begin with.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yes. A weak man both physically and mentally will definitely turn off a woman.

Men need to understand whining and moaning emasculates you as a man.

[fred_durst]

yes , not only women , i think everyone agree that being crying baby, mushy is not attractive trait

[Anonymous]

Yes she dumped me while I was emotional because my mom was dying because of cancer. Women have cruelty

[Anonymous]

Obviously. A man crying is as attractive to a woman as is a fat woman to a man.

[Shy_Steve]

I think they must be.
