People enjoy a man who can provide for his own need even, emotionally. I wouldn't expect a man to seek validation of his emotions to his woman. A real man would know his emotions are valid without outside validation because he is integrated. This is how I live to operate in society, and you know what, I've gotten validation from people without asking for it. I'm not just pulling this shit out of my ass. I've read a number of books on this stuff as I had a fucked up childhood. Get integrated or gtfo.
