>This display of weakness may appeal to older women with a stronger maternal instinct, but it is a liability here.
yes, that's succinctly the exact sentiment I'm trying to express
it's an enormous social liability in ALL contexts other than misguided maternal (or more rarely paternal) figures trying to "take you under their wing", which is often valueless

not a viable long-term strategy
