When he wants to be misunderstood

A man is drawn to someone who doesn't try to read him. He needs space where he can be himself, not disassembled. But the less she asks, the more he wants to share.
She simply listens—she doesn't sympathize, she doesn't judge. This is frightening. Because around her, he lets down his guard. She doesn't say she understands—and this makes him talk more.
He doesn't seek advice. He seeks a woman with whom he can be weak without appearing vulnerable. People fear such women. People remember such women.
