endearing vulnerabilities.

my friend from ACMG, Timmy, suddenly asked me this question in ym

"Women love a man who know their weaknesses" kasi women love being the advisors of the men in trying to regulate their weaknesses... What can you say about what I said?

and for some reason, I told him:

I guess the statement "women love a man who knows their weaknesses
is due to the fact that these men, seemingly perceived/forced to be perceived as "aggressive, know-it-all, bossy type" characters, are showing their vulnerabilities.
rather.. confessing what is deemed to be "taboo" in a patriarchal society.
By such an act of embracing [of] their weakness, these men become endearing to women
since they are "man enough" to show who they really are
and not just who they are supposed to be.
