Beauty and the beast, a female beast

Info

We are used to the idea that men can be beasts, they are Allowed To! They are tall, hairy, and have loud thick voices already. So if we exaggerate a bit over these facts they easily turn into true giant beasts.
It's okay for a man to be ugly, but women however are small and are supposed to be always beautiful, they are mothers who naturally know all about unconditional love. So no room for a woman with demons!
We(as women) are bred to be the soft side of the story. If a woman ever showed her demons she would face huge consequences that none of us is willing to take chances with, no one would love you , who would love you for who you are if you are not forever beautiful and forever soft. Who would love you if he saw your downsides You can only show the beautiful side, all the way, all the time or else, love will never come to your door.
And indeed it doesn't, a guy would only be blamed for tolerating a woman's down sides. "Much better women exist, why would you stick with this one" is a very common sentence around here.
So women manipulate men in thinking they are 100% beast proof, and after they are in their net the beasts shows, men feel deceived and women feel hurt for not being accepted and unconditionally loved by their men..

What do I do with you my dark sides? I am not the kind of person who knows how to pretend!
Okay so i will fix them, fix them all, and be a woman with no demons to hide!! Yaay I found a solution, only to realize that it isn't one, you cant fix them all. Fix as much as you'd love to, but still as a human you will always have dark sides.. so now that I have realized that, am I allowed unconditional love?! Will I only be asked to give it, never have it?
I never stop wondering how could I be  a good wife when I am not skilled at hiding my demons? If not to my partner where would I go when to actually hide?
Should I only pretend till he enters the nest?!
Am I allowed to ask support from the man I love fearing that he sees my dark side he will take a step back and never love me?
We women are and should be men's homes..but I need to go home too..somewhere were I can be myself, both the ugly and the beautiful self..
"Would he ever agree to love me back? With all those faults!" I will never stop wondering, hoping the answer is yes..
