It's how a lot of us are raised. We're raised to be tough and raised to be harder to crack than men of other races because we go through more than men of other races. I don't think it's right for you to generalize like that though. I've never had a problem with opening up to someone. It sounds like you want men to be like women, and not like men. There's a difference in being vulnerable, and just being open and honest.
I am not expecting men to be women hence why I made the comparison with other men.

And it's a male thing, not a Black male thing. I don't see the reason why I should have to open up, especially when it comes to women.

Because being vulnerable is some bullshyt and people will use it against you when they get mad at you.
/thread. I was about to post this. I don't even know why someone feels as though you have to be vulnerable with them to begin with. Watch your girl you're cupcaking with perform that character assassination on you when you slip up :usure:

I have great intimate conversations with men of other races and they eventually open up. But black guys always have to play up the tough/cool guy? Why is that?

Just stop

toronto hsa the most emasculated black men on the globe, you're just a pathetic bedwench with daddy issues.

I'm sure your daddy opened up when he told your mom he was leaving her :sas1:

Why would you want to be open with people you hardly know. Most people are just listening to your business to use it against you later.

My pops always said: "Remember, your friends have other friends too" :mjpls:.
