Phew, I have very rarely heard something so wrong. Women are absolutely not traditionally an emotional support for men. In fact, being vulnerable in that way as a man is just about the surest way to make most women suddenly quite uninterested. Every woman has a story where some important man cries in front of her for the only time. In his entire life.

Women want men to be emotionally open as it applies to supporting them. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but let's call a spade a spade.

Wish they'd taught me this when I was young. They told me being open and vulnerable was attractive.

They also told me I had to verbally ask girls if it was okay to kiss them and if they didn't verbally say yes I was assaulting them.

Intimacy has not been absent from my life, but it has had a very small role.
