Since I have been on CS I have learnt several things about women one of these is that many feel vulnerable a sentiment not common in men.

Understanding the fact that women feel vulnerable goes a long way to explaining why women are the way they are, for example a woman may not tell you about her feelings, a woman may not tell you exactly what she is thinking this is not because they don’t want too it is because their nature does not allow them to leave themselves at risk to any form of assault on their emotions.

A woman’s vulnerability comes in several forms it maybe something as simple as not wanting to post a photo in their profile as this may lead to being harassed by large amounts of mail, alternatively a woman may feel vulnerable after detailing or asked to detail events of a personal or semi personal nature... so the next time you wonder why your wife, girlfriend, partner or whatever is acting a little defensive then you may want to consider what you have done or said has left them feeling vulnerable

I am not vulnerable and I know men who are more vulnerable than women. They are less open and hide their thoughts. It is not connected with gender, but more individual characteristics.

Women don't need words to understand emotions, they can read much in people without the spoken word. Which is why Women often "tell" you how they feel, without literally telling you how they feel.

But you're right, this keener awareness, compassion and empathy that is inherent to Women does on the flipside make them more fragile and vulnerable. Just calling Women vulnerable though will promote a vulnerable response - being defensive.

wave Vulnerability is not gender biased, it is just handled differently by males and females...Being vulnerable is a good thing...It means we are sensitive and it is a protective "instinct" .
What "can" cause problems is "how" we handle our vulnerability...This is just one more reason why trust is vital to a good relationship.....

I am every bit the opposite. I feel compelled to say what's on my mind and how I feel. It is all part of open communication. Otherwise, we are just wasting precious time, and time is not to be wasted.JMO

Obviously I generalised in what I had to say, of course there are people like yourself who speak their mind and readily show their feelings, generally speaking (again) I would have thought some men find that frightening in a woman... Have you encountered this?

Well said however I still think that male vulnerability is more physically than emotionally based.
