that's such sh*t. tell me if you like me, tell me if you hate the scent I wear, tell me if your mom was in an accident. any girl under 18 doesn't know what the hell she wants, it's dictated by her friends.
Sensitive guys are kind of a turn off. I don't want to have to worry about hurting his feelings or if he took what I said the wron gway otherwise I would date a woman
I think you're confusing sensitive with emotional. I can be very sarcastic and let a lot of things slide off my back but I also have feelings and a heart. I don't go around like an emo kid whining about everything but I also like a certain amount of intimacy in my life. Unfortunately, many guys are too afraid to show this side to other guys; they have to be tough and always busting someones balls.
well to be honest my ideal would be a guy that is kind of tough or rough on the outside or around everyone else but has a soft spot for me. Feelings aren't bad or wrong but when I think of a sensitive guy I think of a person that is overly sensitive that you have to worry about that has "moods" and crap. And I don't want that I'm a blunt person, and yea if I said "your motther's dead" I'd hope he'd have an emotional reaction.
Thats exactly how I feel... Men shouldn't be emotional... That's a womans trait...
guys w. feelings actually its nicer, I like them better that the i-have-no-feelings-so-i-don't-really-understand-or-care-type guys
show that you have feelings to girls but not to guys thyre just so um...i-have-no-feelings-so-i-don't-really-care so they woont care about u
plain and simple, we don't want to feel like the female in the relationship.. Showing feelings and being emotional has always been more of a woman thing cause guys feel weird when we try to do it
Often the answer is following: To show feelings, that means to be dependent. With the dependence is coming fear, the partner could abuse you in any kind.
this is a sad answer...but, true. Can't there just be trust that your partner wouldn't do such a thing?! :-(
Lol. I don't know what my thoughts are on this. I think if you concern yourself with the masses, you begin to loose your identity.
I like it when A guy has and shows his real emotions...However, I do NOT lke it when he's weak or is full of self pity. THeres a fine line :)
I respect your honesty. Now consder this. Since it is such a fine line, most guys do not know where it is. SO from their perspective, it is safer to just not show feelings. If you start a rumor about a guy that he is weak and full of self pity. No one will have sex with him. Why would he risk showing you his feelings, when he knows you would turn on him at any moment?
This is nonsense, Zen. Guys need to stop doing everything to kow tow (look it up) to women and start being who they want to be. The women will come. Those a-hole guys you complain about who have women flocking to them didn't manipulate who they are to attract girls. The are who they are and they're confident about it and girls see that. So be as sensitive as you want and the right girls will come to you. Your fantasy that EVERY girl will love you or show you interest is never going to happen.
guys want to be cool
they don't want to think of they as sissy girls
i seriosly don't know why they think that way I like emotional guys its cute
Girls don't have sex with guys who are too emotional. Guys learn that at an early age. Guys don't care who you think is cute, they care who actually gets laid.
That's something of an immature response from most guys who view whomever gets laid the most (or by the most girls) as the best. If sensitive guys would cut out the victim mentality that not banging 113 girls is somehow a loss of their youth, they'd focus on finding the right girls for them. Anyone who makes global statements about 150 million females in this country is going to be wrong
to me, feelings are better kept for others to realize, not for ourselves to show.
I think (i) guys are brought up like that (ii) when you talk of "feelings", it's different from how a woman sees it... They're probably not pretending.
It could be because they are trying to seem masculine
Feelings are for pussies.
I also vote we necro this topic every day.
Don't care if it's my fault or not I don't need/want to see a guy's feelings.
But its human nature its normal for humans to show feelings and that includes guys. You have to accept it even if you don't want to see it.
I have to accept seeing it but I don't have to be around guys that show their feelings.
Pretty easy to bail out.
Damn pixie girl...you need to get that layer of ice from around your heart. :-X
But it keeps it so well preserved. ^-^
I like when guys are honest with me about everything. So I like when he tells me how he feels it makes me feel really happy(:
they get made fun of by guys too...its societys standards, its not only womens fault...
hypocrit >.>
I love when a guy tells me how he feels. then I don't have to be confused or assume things, and then my mind doesn't run away with possibilities.
more people should be honest and straight up with their feelings in this world lol
A lot do have feelings, they just don't cry. They're real men.
its social conditioning
Here is something that I have never understood
I love a guy who is open about his feelings! : ) keep on being you, buddy!
Me, too. I agree with that comment.
Yes, be open about your feelings but not in a whiny way. DO it because you want to, not to get attention
