Question for the ladies: Is vulnerability something you admire in a man?

So be sure you are wearing clean underwear!

Well, I think that every man feels vulnerable at some point or another. Most men just choose to hide it because its not "manly" enough.

I think it's a fine line. I like to see vulnerability on men. For me, it is nice because I can relate to it, and I feel like that they are opening up somewhat and letting me in on how they really feel. But on the other hand, if it is too much and all the time, then they come off as wimpy.

That answer was way too long and confusing. Sorry.

I agree Kim, vulnerability is important, but too much of it and they come across as doormats.

I've been thinking about your question - and my answer is no. I admire emotional tenderness, I admire compassion, I admire courtesy, but no matter how I look at it, vulnerability has a negative connotation. Weak, susceptible, at risk - those are words linked with vulnerability and they aren't admirable qualities to me.

My reason for this question has to do with a discusion about my actor preferences. Not, as Kevin thought, because I think he's a wuss.

I like vulnerability but I also like strength. I love seeing that they aren't too strong all of the time but it is also nice to have someone to lean on and rely on. I agree a lot with Kim.
