>To show vulnerability or to cry in front of a woman is regarded as emasculating or effeminate, sometimes even by women themselves!
That's a misconception. There is a difference between being vulnerable and whining. Women have a problem with the latter.Especially when the guy is whining and not having any solutions. At that point your no different than a kid that wants mom to solve the issue.
>but if a guy talks about how lonely he feels to a woman he might come across as a "loner" or "creep" or in some way "dangerous" to her. It might be that another man understands those feelings better.
You need some context for this scenario. If you are talking to a woman and say "I am lonely" without evening getting to know her comes across as creepy because your basically asking her to fix it somehow. If you actually passed the talking phase you can mentioned it in a productive way. There are also lonely women(albeit for different reason but still the same feeling) and men who find lonely men to be failures and creeps. Another lonely man can understand but it would be up to the person to actually do something about it. Lonely men can spiral into loathing the opposite sex because deep down they have a problem with them.Ignoring women will never solve the problem because heterosexual men find them attractive and when they go out with their brotherhood one member will try and chase a girl and the cycle continues.
