I think I’m talking about it in a broader, more general sense. For instance, taking a girl by the hand and leading her to another venue is a form of vulnerability, because you’re opening yourself up to her not following you. Guys who are afraid of their vulnerability will never get up and move a girl like that… they’ll just sit there and chat her ear off about the weather or something.
Like I said, it’s a topic I’m going to go into depth much further. But thanks for the comments like this. This is the problem with getting into the emotional process of things, because these words like vulnerability, dominance, masculinity, leading, etc. mean so many different things to so many different people. So stuff like this helps me to define it more clearly.

I start to see where you’re coming from.
To me, taking a girl by the hand to another venue is more about leading and NOT being a pussy, I don’t feel vulnerable at all, it’s more about taking a risk. The way I’ve been educated in this sort of stuff reads more like: If she doesn’t want to go somewhere else she: doesn’t like you that much/it’s too early/doesn’t want to leave her friends.

So what’s the difference between taking a risk by leading her to another venue and taking a risk telling her about your grandmother dying?
I’m wondering where “vulnerability” starts and “not being a pussy” ends here… because to me they look like the same thing. You’re expressing yourself and your desires. And she can take it or leave it.
