Hiding your vulnerability, i.e., "killing your puppy", is appearing strong but acting weak.
I agree. You can't kill your feelings. You either deal with them or you don't. Stuffing them is a recipe for disaster.

Maybe it will help you get laid, I don't know.
I'm sure it does. But getting laid and having a real R are two very different things. There's all sorts of vulnerability involved in R.

But I think a knowing woman wants to see if a man can heal from his wounds and come back to embrace life again. Rather than pretending he doesn't have any wounds - after all, how does she know he won't just crumble when he gets hurt? Is he hard like a rock? Or just crispy, like a cookie?
That was great. I think that sums up how I feel about H right now. He is my rock yet totally vulnerable at the same time. Wolf and puppy combo. That's why we are having such hot sex (and a happier M) I think.
