Sensitive Men

Hello Ladies! I'm new here. A very nice woman that I met on another site told me to try this site. So here I am! As you can probably guess, I'm a sensitive man. I know what you are thinking. No, I'm not gay. I'm just sensitive. Trust me, I love women. Would I be here if I didn't? I want to know how you ladies feel about sensitive men. Do you like them? Or hate them? Is a man any less of a man if he is sensitive? What if he is shy? Is it acceptable for a man to cry? Or should he hide his emotions? I have been told that many women prefer "Bad Boys" and "Jerks". You know what they say. "Nice guys finish last". Is that really true ladies? Do I need to "Man Up". One of the reasons that I came to this site is because the men's sites were to rough for me. The people that post on men's sites are very mean. They are always looking for a fight. They like to hurt people. Even the women are mean. I was on two men's sites before I came here. I have trouble dating because I'm too shy to approach a woman in public. Is that a turn off for women? A woman once told me "if he doesn't have the balls to approach me, then he is not man enough for me". Is that how most of you ladies feel? I really need your help. The lack of female contact is giving me a complex. Not that I didn't already have one. I don't want to die not knowing the touch of a woman. Please be gentle in your replies. As you know, I'm sensitive. Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I definitely do prefer a man who is willing to take the risk of pursuing me and asking me out.

Thank you for the feedback and advice Sheri. Yes, you are right. I do tend to take things personally. You read me like a book. And speaking of books, maybe I will check out that book that you recommended. Thanks again! Bruce Image and video hosting by TinyPic

A lot of women dream of meeting a good sensitive man. They also dream of meeting a man who is going to take charge when the situation calls for it. Please keep the same feelings you have towards life and remember not to take everything personally. I used to be extremely sensitive until I made friends with people who were really blunt. It literally exhausted me to keep getting mad every time they were blunt and I was finally able to step back and observe how ridiculous I was being sometimes.

So just remember to step back sometimes and observe your feelings every time you start to feel overly emotional. If you want to cry, cry, but just know that if you cry more than the woman you're dating, it may start to annoy her. Or freak her out...just cause we're not that used to it.

Oh, and yes, women love to be approached because we're often told that if WE approach the men, then they'll be turned off. So all that does is leave us with the choice of waiting...and waiting some more. So it is much appreciated when a man is "man" enough to come up to us. Even if we're not interested in them. The more you approach women, the more you'll get turned down AND accepted. Have to take the good with the bad I guess. But at least you'll end up dating a few good women.

I think being too emotional or sensitive in the initial stages would be a turnoff . . . whether it's a man or a woman.

hey sensitive....


do you get that you made all that up, probably when you were about 5 yrs. old and you are living like this is all the truth!


You get to say how your life goes, are you interested in being peaceful, free and fully self expressed again?


take a look at www.landmarkeducation.com when you get a chance, it has made a world of difference in my life and everyone that I touch


and there is nothing wrong with crying...


all the best to you!
