    Men have been trained from birth that displaying any kind of emotional need is a sign of weakness that others will use against them.

    If a man does display this kind of vulnerability with you, it means:

    1. He is extremely stressed to the point where maintaining social norms is beyond his abilities at the moment.
    2. He trusts you in a way that can’t be expressed in words.
    3. Both.

      Women have been trained to see men this way too. I showed vulnerability to my ex one time, and her attitude changed overnight and she broke up with me not long after.

        This happened to me. My ex had our kid, and I was no longer the “hardened bad boy” but instead a loving caring father and my ex decided that she did not want that and left me.
