I’m a mixture of *kitten* and a bit of bad *kitten* but the *kitten* takes over some days

Attractive for a fling when I was younger and wanted to play hero, turn off once I became older and wanted a strong partner who I'd consider an equal.9

Here’s the thing. This is a very vague question. In order for a relation ship to be successful you have to be vulnerable. It comes after the attraction in my (almost 24 years old and getting divorced) opinion9
-
Vulnerable as in emotionally in touch with themselves? Can feel, think, verbalize and not stuff all their feelings down?
If so then yes 'vulnerability' is attractive to me.2 -
Everything in moderation. I've had relationships with very strong independent women (meaning won't ask/accept help), as well as those who are very vulnerable. Neither extreme is appealing to me. However, qualities of both are.5

Im feeling vulnerable right now. How does that make you feel?2

Vulnerable can be attractive. But to me vulnerable and weak are not the same thing. Opening yourself up and feeling emotions is what I consider vulnerable.4

Mmmm like how vulnerable? Cause I don’t like cry babies3

Attractive.1

It truly depends on what you mean by vulnerable.
There's vulnerable, insecure, where you're just manipulating other peoples' goodheartedness for attention. (you're the beneficiary)
There's vulnerable, openhandedness, where you're just opening up to share or empathize. (you may benefit, but the goal and intent is that it's mutually beneficial)
IMO, the former is irritating and the latter is honorable. Some people like to feel needed so they might like the former.1 -
You have to allow yourself to be somewhat vulnerable to truly fall in love, IMO. Just don’t be too gullible.2

Vulnerable.....no. Caring, yeah. I think vulnerable is the extreme end of being sensitive. Almost like being a victim. I think it's important to have a degree of sensitivity, but being vulnerable I think is something that happens to all of us, but I don't believe It's something we should strive for.4

vul·ner·a·ble
susceptible to physical or emotional attack or harm.
"we were in a vulnerable position"
synonyms: helpless, defenseless, powerless, impotent, weak, susceptible
Yes then No to your question. Vulnerable to me means having a bullseye on your forehead. There's a difference between openness and vulnerability.
Just for context, I don't know of a man in my circles who would choose to be vulnerable either but we're bent on survival out here.4 -
I think the most stable relationships will happen when both parties are in a good place and things happen naturally without effort.
Equating vulnerability with being able to fall in love is a bit of a romance novel construct.4
