So I am reading Mark Manson's "Models" due to a strong recommendation to do so off of TRP. I'm about 2/3 through it.

One important section is about showing vulnerability and building an emotional connection.

However isn't this counter to TRP's specific recommendations? In general doesn't TRP show that you should hold a strong, stoic frame.

I don't think TRP would advocate sharing compromising old childhood memories or so forth. So these two approaches are at odds, aren't they?

Basically I'm asking here how Models relates to TRP and specifically the parts about vulnerability and emotional connection.

it seems not to be necessary or helpful in a man with strong frame.

what are your thoughts?
