I've never liked having very emotional talks with girls I'm interested in. Usually I have those with girls I only see as friends.
Now I have a gf (first ever, 2 months) and I'm wondering how I should deal with that, is there such a thing as being friendzoned when you're already dating? Should I ALWAYS listen to her emotional talk, or should I sometimes appear busy?
It sounds a bit pathetic, but I think I'm in way over my head and want to avoid these kind of mistakes, since I know I can be intense / clingy. I'd prefer always responding because I'm still very interested in what she says.
Girls don't like emotional men, it turns them off. Remember, there is a difference between what girls say they want and what they actually want.

The fundamental gender divide imho.
I'm on the opposite side of this, a grill who wants the guy I'm dating to open up more emotionally.
To me it's like really great to understand what's going on in a guy's head, know what worries them/ how to support them etc. And vice versa.
What is it about emotional talk that men don't like?

That's what I'm worried about, obviously you need to be emotional every now and then, but I'm worried about messing up the balance.

Personally I really like it, but like the guy above said it can feel like you're being weak or unmanly by some people.

I feel like many men find it weak / unmanly then project their feelings onto women: "Oh, women don't like that (because I wouldn't like other men acting like that). As a femanon, my girl friends and I love it when men open up emotionally. Everyone is different though.

They don't like fucking robots either. It's fine to open up, but assume a masculine role. Maintaining the balance is a fine art

I did this. Breakup commenced soon thereafter

This.
It's necessary to open up to your significant other in order to maintain a healthy relationship but please, for the love of god, don't be a bitch about it
Don't start whimpering and crying like a baby, that's the woman's job because they can't take anything like an adult, so someone's gotta have a little dignity in those moments, may as well be you
