Ironically men "opening up" is a huge turn off for women, as this meme illustrates

Yeah, that's the rub.

What woman say they want from us, and what they demonstrate that they want can differ wildly.

The part I can actually read of the article says part of it is they're increasingly spending time with their children, not friends.

This is not a bad thing.

It's a double-edged sword. Friendship means a lot to most guys, and it's a gap that children and spouses can't fill.

In my experience, being open and sociable is what works for getting laid, and it's worked with at least a dozen women. For this reason, I believe your experiences are limited, if extant at all, and, because of this limited experience, your observations are unfounded.

I am quite open to being wrong. You guys could just live in socially stagnant cesspools where the dating scene isn't that different from an Attenborough special.

I have never been in any long-term relationship (friends, family, partners, whatever) where opening up emotionally didn't end up backfiring. Everyone is just looking to use somebody else for their own benefit, and deep down don't give a fuck about anyone else's problems.

It doesn't matter who it is, how much you care about each other, or how long you've been together. Absolutely nothing you confide to somebody else is off limits. Eventually, they will decide to hurt you, and they will do it in the most painful way they know how. They do not care about you.

Some people have the energy to constantly engage in that nonsense, to manage the spider-web of fuckery that social relationships sprawl into. I lost it a long time ago. Put on a happy mask and nobody asks any questions. Only get as close to people as is required to achieve some material goal. But at the end of the day, you go to sleep and dream as you lived, alone.

Even if you aren't just making this up, it's nothing more the anecdotal evidence that is also few and far between. Actual studies have been done on this subject and it's been found that guys that are assholes to women have five times as many sexual partners then guys who are nice to women.

Most women say they want a nice guy, but the data shows they're spreading their legs for the assholes.

Attacking femininity is the cool thing now, kids.

A few posters here appear to either be purposefully misunderstanding or trying to find a way to make this all women's fault.
Its the internet, did you truly expect that to not happen?

You might have had bad experiences but your world view is fucked and not accurate.
