LADIES.. what are your thoughts on SENSITIVE MEN.. the good, the bad, the ugly ??

I just read an exchange between 2 female posters on the differences of their husbands on another thread.. I was going to jump in there & give my 2 cents... but ya know.. a NEW thread won't hurt either!

No doubt a SENSITIVE NATURE has it's GOOD and it's potential BAD.. so doesn't it come down to HOW we handle our emotions .. yet it's a blessing we HAVE THEM ... over not having enough sensitivity...whether that be from our men or ourselves.

I think like this quote...

Quote:

Sensitive Definition:: * easily upset by the things that people think or say about you: easily hurt, tender, raw... * easily offended, disturbed, shocked, irritated, etc., as by the actions of others; touchy * aware of and understanding the feelings of other people -having or showing keen sensibilities; highly perceptive or responsive intellectually, aesthetically, etc.

Quote:

Urban Dictionary: Sensitive 2. Being sensitive doesn't mean that you're crying in the corner over nothing. It means to be aware of your emotions and being in touch with them. .......Being sensitive is not a bad thing like some people think. It just means that you are aware, which is great ;) 3. A quality girls say they need from a guy, hoping he, like millions of others, will cave in and start crying like a ***** and doing other sappy "sensitive things", like holding her hand and writing things for her. 4. The last thing a woman wants a man to be, yet, because she does not know herself, hypocritically claims to be looking for. .......Women have never, ever liked sensitive guys, unless they are also a$$holes.

I will go 1st... I PREFER SENSITIVE MEN.. always have.....I am talking to the point, literally I would probably want to take a hammer to the head of a man who didn't show enough of a SOFT SIDE, that vulnerable side to me... who wouldn't enjoy getting DEEP ...the give & take of emotional anything ... one who welcomes this, is not annoyed with it.... of course I married this sort of man.. thankfully.. or I really think I'd have gotten bored with him a long long time ago.

Now on another scale...there is the issue of being OVERLY SENSITIVE... a healthy balance in all things ....right ?

I'll be the 1st to admit.. It's very annoying being around someone you know you can't speak freely but have to watch every little word.. some egg shell walking.. worrying we could tip their Ice-burg ...it's just not enjoyable....

I give my Husband praise here.. although the man is sensitivity natured.. he can handle anything I throw at him.. never complained.. ....and when I have crossed a line into HURTFUL behavior.. oh it's happened :(.. he'll just let me know I am being a Bi*ch or what not.. and.. yeah.. he's right!

So HOW MUCH SENSITIVITY do you want in a man/ Husband... do you identify this with weakness .. not being a MANLY MAN?

And MEN.. do you find how you handle yourself here is a saving grace to the attraction your woman has for you ??

Put the internet to work for you.
