Is emotional availability the one thing young men get wrong about relationships?

I used to think being "strong and silent" was the ultimate flex in dating. Turns out it’s just a fast track to ghosting and resentment. Women aren’t looking for a stoic statue—they want someone who can actually talk about feelings without turning it into a therapy session or a debate.

I learned this the hard way after a few relationships imploded because I confused emotional detachment with maturity. Now I’m realizing how much easier dating gets when you stop treating feelings like a weakness.

What’s the most useless dating advice you’ve been given?
