benderman Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 But do not understand that someone who is gentle and thoughtful can also get hurt very easy, when his feeling are not returned or betrayed by the one he trusts ?...and also being sensitive thus not mean being weak, it is just a way how someone relates with others and his perception of the distinction between right and wrong, his responsibility to someone he cares about and harm that he can cause to others. And has nothing to do with acting like a wimp in need of attention who just wants a someone to unload the responsibility for himself on her…What do you think ??? Or maybe what women are really saying is they want a man that is sensitive to their needs only, and don't really care how he relates and treats other people ? Link to comment
KatAstrophy1607308539 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I'm not speaking for all women, but what I mean by a sensitive man is a man who is perceptive and has empathy i.e. can put himself in someone else's shoes/situation. Not sensitive in the sense of being touchy, easily hurt or quick to take offence [which my ex was and I see as a weakness]. I like a man to be sensitive to my needs as well as those of other people too. I would not tolerate a man [or woman, for that matter] who is nice to me but mean to other people. Link to comment
Tresha Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 What do you mean by sensitive? Are your feeling always hurt? Do you have a lot of drama in your life due to misunderstandings? Does she have to spend a lot of time building you up, making you feel better, reassuring you? That can be pretty exhausting and unattractive. Do you mean that you consider the feelings of affected people before you make decisions and take them into account? That's the sensitivity I think women want. I'm pretty sure we all want you to stand on your own, though, not be propped up because of delicate feelings. Link to comment

A woman meets a man in a bar. They talk; they connect; they end up leaving together. They get back to his place, and as he shows her around his apartment, she notices that one wall of his bedroom is completely filled with soft, sweet, cuddly teddy bears. There are three shelves in the bedroom with hundreds and hundreds of cute, cuddly teddy bears, carefully placed in rows covering the entire wall! It was obvious that he had taken quite some time to lovingly arrange them and she was immediately touched by the amount of thought he had put into organizing the display. There were small bears all along the bottom shelf, medium-sized bears covering the length of the middle shelf, and huge, enormous bears running all the way along the top shelf. She found it strange for an obviously masculine guy to have such a large a collection of Teddy Bears, but doesn't mention this to him, and actually is quite impressed by his sensitive side. They share a bottle of wine and continue talking and, after a while, she finds herself thinking, "Oh my God! Maybe, this guy could be the one ! Maybe he could be the future father my children?" She turns to him and kisses him lightly on the lips. He responds warmly. They continue to kiss, the passion builds, and he romantically lifts her in his arms and carries her into his bedroom where they rip off each other's clothes and make hot, steamy love. She is so overwhelmed that she responds with more passion, more creativity, more heat than she has ever known, and even did a few things she had never done with any other man. After an intense, explosive night of raw passion with this sensitive guy, they are lying there together in the afterglow. The woman rolls over, gently strokes his chest and asks coyly, "Well, how was it?" The guy gently smiles at her, strokes her cheek, looks deeply into her eyes, and says..................... "Help yourself to any prize from the middle shelf" Link to comment
Crazyaboutdogs Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I think a man having a wall full of teddy bears would have me running in the other direction! Link to comment
Kitkat973 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I'm always put off by statements about what women want or men want or people with degrees in botany want or people who buy icecream on Sundays only in gallon Neapolitan cartons want, because it's just simply not. That. Easy. Link to comment
