Girls: would you dump a guy for showing the slightest shred of insecurity?

I saw this today

Because of course men don't have feelings. Do they?
I mean is it actually socially acceptable? I've already looked at the stigma attached to admitting such things as being insecure about body, or not being able to do a live fast die young lifestyle due to depressive tendencies (no drinking, not much in way of late nights and the like)-the over-riding theme is essentially to carry on, no matter how you feel. Rest is for the weak, and if you're feeling something less than masculine you'd better damn not show it.

The sad thing is although this page is designed as a joke, there are a lot of men who feel this way. Oh wait, they feel-with those two words they've just had their dick unceremoniously cut off :rolleyes:

I genuinely feel inferior to many guys out there simply because the way I experience the world is a bit of inner melodrama, and I can get emotionally affected about a few things. I find common advice is that women like men who are confident, cool and calm-I get stressed quite easily. You are supposed to 'get **** done' without any hassle-I'm not brilliant at this, my emotions often get in the way. I'm an extreme case yes, but I feel a lot of guys will have similar difficulties.

I'm also quite awful at hiding how I feel-this makes me envious of people who can go to work/around town and lie through their teeth all day, because these are often the most successful and popular people.

There a lot of so-called alhha males trotting about TSR and of course, life who will give advice such as 'man up', 'stop being a pussy', 'you're such a whiny bitch' etc.-and yet these are also the most successful and popular. I'm still inclined to believe I'm missing something important here, something which has made me decidely 'beta'.

So here's my question: in deepest honesty women, if a guy was less than 100% certain of his lothario status and social/sexual/academic prowess-if he seemingly had basic needs to attend to like limiting stress, getting enough sleep, speaking his mind on problems-would you dump him? Would he instantly be lowered in your attractiveness rankings? Would he have lost his sexy appeal and now be a boring sack of potatoes?

I've released a lot of whiny protests on here as of late but this is incredibly bugging me-the idea that feelings are weakness and your social status is dependent on your ability to disregard them.
This probably comes across and the standard nice guy rants about girls not sleeping with him thread, but I don't want to use my feelings for sex. How manipulative and petty can you get?
I can't deny the fact I feel though.
