Whenever I see women saying that stuff, I would be like "Yeah, right" sarcastically, I simply really don't believe them, and I don't believe you either.
In fact, the moment a man shows a weakness or a vulnerability ie. crying, he gets scorned and get labeled crybaby or whiner by women. I see women in general as being very intolerant toward men's expressions of weakness, they expect men to show positive feelings all the time (like the one you mentioned, loving animals..etc but never weakness).
In my experience, every time I talk about some insecurity to a woman (whether female friend or FWB or whatever) I get dismissed by it and she would be like "be confident" , "it's in your head"..etc. Always very dismissive. Every time I regret opening my mouth about it.
Most of you want the typical manly men showing no weakness and no insecurity, stop lying to yourselves....
Maybe you're trying to justify some sour experiences you've had, but let me explain one thing...
Being soft and affectionate is cool, but you have to find the right place and time. If you start your introduction by showing your feminine side, you're going to weird people out. Similarly, if you remain cool and distant with a girl you like, you're not going to build a solid relationship that way. I and my girlfriend are affectionate with each other, and we both love it. What you said might be true about a man's outside appearance in front of strangers, but not about one's personality. No one likes a crying stranger, sure, but I don't think any woman would like Mr Ironface as her boyfriend, either.
So stop crying like a baby and calling people liars just because you're sour. It's insulting to say the least, and it doesn't justify anything.
P.S.: Why does every thread on WP turn into a rant about women sooner or later?
