Comments on: Is he willing to be vulnerable? http://www.datinggoddess.com/is-he-willing-to-be-vulnerable/ Thu, 20 Nov 2008 18:52:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Sherri http://www.datinggoddess.com/is-he-willing-to-be-vulnerable/#comment-2608 Sherri Sun, 02 Mar 2008 23:41:54 +0000 http://www.datinggoddess.com/?p=1243#comment-2608 it depends. I have to admit that I still wrestle with the image of a "real" man being strong, silent, and capable all the time. Since real life has taught me that the experience is not nearly as positive as the idea, I can say that I'm now okay with a man who, as expressed here already, cries at life's losses. But in my opinion that doesn't include not finding the "perfect" job after two days of looking, finding a scratch on one's car, and yep! I reserve the right to be the blubberer at tear-jerker movies! it depends. I have to admit that I still wrestle with the image of a “real” man being strong, silent, and capable all the time.

I don't think it's necessary to have a time frame in which he should show his vulnerable side. I do think it's important to share that side with your significant other.

If a guy is vulnerable and/or teary for the same reasons I or any other human being would be; (i.e., death, traumatic injury to self or a loved one, losing a pet or dear friend, losing a promotion, losing a house to fire or catastrophe, etc.); that's fine, but please no blubberers who cry over Lassie, underdone steaks, tearjerker movies, bad haircuts, or similar trivialities. Those are reserved for moi, (especially the bad haircuts). :) Good luck with your new guy and best wishes from bookyone :) Hi DG,

A crack in their voice or a tear wiped when the trauma warrants it is touching to me. It shows that they have a softness. If it is over the Yankees trading their best player, than I run for the hills. It’s all about the situation and the subject matter.
