@Neo The Resurrected ONE
Honestly, you didn't ask for my input, but I don't see a problem with your mode of operating.
Maybe the married bros can chime in, but I have yet to experience any upside on adapting my behavior to hers.
To keep it comical, "you can't make a woman happy" (c) Patrice O'Neal.
To keep it real, believe me, I've tried this "open feelings" route. I have listened to the Oprah/Therapist Babble - and that only leads to more issues, of having to constantly explain myself, instead of solving problems.
That old, "when you did X, it made me feel Y" - like we was in some type of therapy session.
Believe me when I tell you, Women do not know what to do with a man's unguarded thoughts and feelings.
They react emotionally, creating bigger problems for you to solve.
Case in point. Dude at the gig was expecting a child with his wife. Wife lost the baby, and dude was feeling some type of way.
The women at the office gave him some comfort and support, but a week later, all that grace was done.
And then they started to treat him like he was weak. Low key laughing at him behind his back.
Is this an extreme case? Possibly.
Is it a real thing, most definitely.
Letting a chick in on how you make moves, explaining the game to her as it were, most of the time, does not help her accomplish anything. It only gives her ammunition to critique you after failure.
But I might be "toxic".
