I know B_A be playing sometimes but this is actually true with a lot of women even though some will say otherwise.
I was told never to show soft emotions , did it and got left by 2 different gfs.
Not instantly but they gradually lost respect, so at the end of the month they were gone.
Mind you they were the ones that were pushing me to open up.
I remember a dude crying in front of his girl too when his moms died (he was an only child and mama's boy)
She left him real quick and called him a bitch.
This toxic masculinity falls on women too and why most men are afraid to show emotion, I literally can show vulnerable emotion to my closest homies, but not any girl I'm involved with.
Not going down that road again.
