Personally, I don't mind if the guy I'm with vents, rants, cries, gets emotional...whatever. I actually am really good at being supportive with the emotional stuff...it's a bit of a gift. But I admit that I am pretty unique in that respect. A lot of women will see a man as weak if he opens up like that. But there are a few of us who view it as a compliment that the guy actually trusts you enough to be vulnerable like that.Originally posted by thefonz
I have to disagree with you guys.....women will except (once in awhile that is) a man who vents his problems. The thing is though you really have to "act" to pull it off. Much like singing a song, you wanna completely vent your emotions and frustration in just the right fashion while avoiding a vomit fest of emotional drivel. Hit the right chords, sing the harmonies in tune etc. It can be done but it's not the REAL way you would choose to express.
Come on, how many of us here completely changed the way we act, talk, and walk after coming to this site.....same idea applied to this topic
But you're right...it usually IS safer to let that stuff in more of a "rant" style with MOST women if you want her to be more compassionate. It's part of that "fix his angry ways" thing most women have going on.
