I know what the title looks like so don’t be triggered.

There seems to be a lot of conflicting information about how men should approach being vulnerable. Some people say being vulnerable can help strengthen the relationship by showing the SO your sincere feelings, but others say being vulnerable will end up making you look like a “nice guy” or feminine. I’ve heard stories about men who opened up, treating women like princesses while and getting broken up with. Even if they never had “nice guy” qualities in the first place.

Is there a healthy medium on vulnerability? I want to open up to my gf but not in a way that would repel her or make me look less attractive.
