Do women like highly sensitive men?

Question

I want to know the truth. Does it turn you off?

Don't let anyone fool you, no they are not!
They are generaly speaking much more sensitive that us, so if you are sensitive too there is no balance.
Girls like a guy who has a good grip on his emotions. I lost count on how many times I had a bad day, got home is a horrible mood, noticied that my girl was sad because of whatever. Just like that I pushed everything down, put on my best smile and try to cheer her up.

That being said, that one time when I let my walls down and got all emotional... ya she loved that. She told me she loved me even more for open up to her. But that was that one time when certain things had happen. Never be too emotional, only the right amount.

Women want men that can deal with their emotions in a sensible manner. They don't want someone crying and weeping whenever she negatively critiques something he did wrong but they don't want someone that explodes in anger because he holds back too often, days at a time, which creates a ticking time bomb.

Mature and intelligent men tread the middle ground. They know when to cry and they when to be her shoulder to cry on when she feels weak. They know when to be sensitive and when to be her rock.

I find it attractive to show your sentimental side. Manlier even. Rather than being afraid to threaten your masculinity by showing emotions, and then inturn doing just that by "pretending" to be all macho and tough.

PondyPand · Accepted Answer

Personally, I'm highly sensitive enough. I want a sensitive man, but not highly.

Desconhecida · Answer

If he's sensitive enough to cry after sex or after romantic chick flicks, he better be having a relationship with a guy, not with me..

Cynicaldreamer · Answer

Personally I don't, but only because I'm not into men that are that overly sensitive. I like a man that's tough and stoic, but is sensitive at the right moments.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I voted yes. I want a guy that is emotional because it means he will appreciate me more.

Spawnface · Answer

It would turn anybody off. Especially, a person with a type of mental disorder.

Being highly sensitive, is quite abnormal. Being sensitive is just having the ability to percieve and embody emotions and emotionality. The highly part characterizes when this sensitivity is incorrectly functioning, it's acting hyperactively. The sensitive part is over reacting to things that are totally unnecessary. People don't like this because it causes suspicion and apprehensiveness. It makes people unsure and afraid of what the other person is feeling or thinking. Because if they were not acting abnormally, they would be predictable. People need to feel that other people are predictable, so that they can feel a sense of security. Because the natural reaction to uncertainty, especially danger, is to act aggressively and destructively. People feel pain when they can't focus that energy on a consciously tangible target.

Women especially are usually very maniacal. They usually have incontrollable tempers and are excessively reactionary. They are usually nuerotic. Nueroticism is a sensitivity to mental pain and that pain causes the typical reaction in expressive, or extroverted people to lash out at others. Women that are maniacal, or very maniacal, will typically see highly sensitive people as a threat in their environment and will attack it.

People can still become friends, even lovers, with highly sensitive people however it requires a process, especially involving conformity. Highly sensitive people, in order to compensate for their wild, outrageous activity, will channel their impulsivity into a cult of sorts, or become sycophantic. You see this with feminists and other idealogues, people with insane levels of sensitivity. People who are reactionary will form or integrate into little tribes where their behaviour can be tolerated and even put to use. They will use mantras and adopt alter egos befitting the group so they can feel accepted and with a place among society. On lower levels of social interactions, hiyper sensitive people become sycophantic, they compensate for their rash behaviour by being overly supportive and pleasing. The bottom line is they are nuerotic.

splashofyellow · Answer

I don't but I'm very emotionally cold myself so it's no wonder. I don't think I'd be a very good match with someone who's really in touch with their feelings while I'm afraid of all feelings. But of course I can only speak for myself, not for other women.

Sweetascandy1990 · Answer

I love sensitive men just as long it doesn't get in the way of enjoying our time together. There are men I've met who are really sensitive that it is almost like walking on eggshells and they are low key narcissist/abusive men. Nothing wrong with being sensitive tho... it is a turn on for the most part :-)

Factshurt90 · Answer

Highly? That may be too much even for me. I do like guys who love animals (cats) and are compassionate. Sadly those traits are considered sensitive. If he cries easily I may be turned off... BUT if we're watching a touching love story, or he's really happy or sad i think it is sweet he can express himself in a healthy way.

MannMitAntworten · Answer

A real hoot ready the women's answers and pretty much exactly how I figured they would answer. A guy like that just dries up a gal's water works... and I am not talking about their tears. Then again, masculine women cause my hydraulics to fail, too, if you catch my drift.

Anonymous · Answer

Nice to see more than half of women are being honest about this. It seems most women tend to say what they think they are supposed to say rather than expressing how they actually feel about this subject, which just sets guys up to fail.

Honesty is good.

AlidaMullakkara · Answer

I mean yeah they should be sensitive but not extremely. Because most girls are sensitive themselves and if both the partners end up being sensitive you know that doesn't work. So there should be a balance

Porcelaine · Answer

Sensitive is better than completely cold and overly logical.

Legendary_Shark · Answer

Yes, I'd love such a man, I'm a highly sensitive person myself and I've come across a few girls (only two) like me but yet to meet a guy of that type and I think I'd love such a guy, why wouldn't someone like them?

Ámayas_20 · Answer

I'm quite sensitive so being with a guy who is highly sensitive just wouldn't work out, it doesn't attract but it wouldn't change my opinion of them if we were just friends.

thecuriouscheeto · Answer

I once had a boyfriend who was highly sensitive. I’m more on the harsher side of the spectrum and need someone a bit tougher than me. But I’m sure there are girls out there who like sensitive men.

Adrianna7868 · Answer

You can't be a stone-cold "never show your emotions" type man but you can't be an overly-emotional soy boy of a man. Gotta have a nice mix of both.

janna_jcb · Answer

No, but that’s because I don’t like highly sensitive people in general. I love people who can show their sensitive side and feelings, but when you’re over sensitive everything just turns into a drama and that is exhausting to put up with

Xoxoroxy · Answer

Highly? I dont know. As long as it doesn't become a turn off... And to what degree it goes too lol. Normally, I like sensitive guys.

MiAmora · Answer

Highly sensitive - no. Because I am. I need someone stronger than me but sensitive at the times. So we could help each other

SarahVanRensburg · Answer

This isn't a turn off. They just show emotion more easily and that's perfectly fine. Nothing wrong with it.

serious · Answer

I am sure the answer is NO. They would see that as an unattractive quality and won't admire such men.

itsmatty · Answer

What is considered "highly sensitive" is subjective depending on the definition, person's location, social circles, personal experience, etc. You've woven the answer into your question by defining it as abnormal, of course women will say no.

Nothing turns pussy as dry as the deserts of Sahara faster than this. We were indoctrinated to keep it all inside for that very reason.

Tracey426 · Answer

Sensitive, when appropriately. Highly sensitive? Turn off.

It would. Although I want a sensitive man, I don’t want a HIGHLY sensitive man. Can’t deal with an emotional bitch when I’m already one 😤😂😂

ultimega · Answer

I do like men who are in tune with their emotions and feelings to some degree.  I'd rather that than a psychopath.

megaman242 · Answer

To be emotionally there is a good thing, but to cry about every little thing is not a good thing even for a girl. I cry if a movie moved but it's not like I full out snutt and hulking.

Dogbreath26 · Answer

I think women like the made up hollywood version of men being sensitive which is completely different from actual men actually being sensitive which they don't like.

Highly sensitivity does but not regular sensitivity. Sensitivity itself is not a bad thing but too much of anything is bad.
