    Been dumped, more than twice, immediately after crying in front of a woman. Make of that what you will.

      That’s fucked. If I was dating a guy and he cried in front of me it would make me happy to know that he feels safe being vulnerable around me. I would treasure him forever after that.

        And my wife is exactly like you. But just sayin’, in my experience, most women are not.

        And I get it! No woman craves a weak man. No woman says to herself, “I wish my man was a sobbing pile of goo!”

        Women want a strong man, a man that protects her from the slings and arrows of life. We can be those men and still cry. But it ain’t easy.
