+1 yDon'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.10 Reply

+1 yWomen 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.20 Reply

10 Reply 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.10 Reply
+1 yI 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.

Opinion Owner+1 y@Spawnface I'm talking about the poll results. It shows 58% of women do not like sensitive guys. The truth is very few women like sensitive guys but they say they do because they think they are supposed to.

It just kinda seems like you're favouring on side and discounting the other. Like, why can't they both be dishonest?
I agree that people preach a fascade say what they think they are supposed to say but why can't it be happening on both sides?
I also would believe that most women generally do not like sensitive guys but I just don't think that this poll can reflect that truth. I don't think one side is the truth and the other is a lie here.
Opinion Owner+1 y@Spawnface I'm not favoring one side; I'm stating facts. I don't believe it is happening on both sides. Most women are turned off by "highly sensitive guys", but a lot of them are unwilling to admit that in the context of some discussions.

I’ll stick with my notions thanks. - +1 y
Who the fuck ever said having emotions is feminine?
- +1 y
I did. You know exactly what I’m saying and exactly what my point is and I’m not going to argue over semantics.
We’ve breed an entire generation of feminized and pussified males and it’s disgusting and needs to be called out for what it is and it’s not ok and you know that.
It’s harmful to men and you know that as well, so let’s cut the crap and stop pretending this is normal. It’s not.
It’s also harmful to women as it only ensures the masculine qualities that women are attracted to in men are decreasing more and more leaving less sexually desirable men for you to breed with... if you want to look at this from an evolutionary perspective. If you want to look at it from a psychological perspective it’s not natural for men to act like women, and women are emotional, not men. It’s teaching men to act like women. If you want to take a religious perspective this should cover the 3 monotheistic religions:
“Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, these may forget, yet will not I forget thee.”
Isaiah 49:15 ASV
Women are depicted here to be nurturing and compassionate, particularly to their own children. That is in their nature. It’s a maternal instinct. That is feminine in nature. See? Feelings. Touchy feely - feminine not masculine.
“Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.”
1 Corinthians 16:13 ASV
“Quit you like men” in the Old English vernacular meaning - act like men. Men are depicted as being strong here. Standing fast in the faith. What does it mean to “Stand Fast” it means to refuse to be defeated. This is equated with masculine behavior and attributed to men here. Not women. Not the feminine. Well, if someone was “emotional” in the sense of the askers question does that lend itself to being strong and refusing to be defeated which is equated here to being like men, or in other words masculine. NO.
- +1 y
So any way you want to look at it: religious or secular, evolutionary, psychological and sociological because as humans are either designed or evolved which ever view you choose, masculine behaviors are not being overly emotional which does not lend itself to being perceived as masculine by women and therefore sexually desirable and therefore does not lend itself to the propagation of the species, so even sociologically this does not lend itself to reproducing and sustaining society and all related to society such as governments and the building blocks of nations which are families.
So any way you want to cut it, this his not good for men. It’s harmful to men. It’s also harmful to women in not having partners desirable for mating and capable of being good hunters and gathers and harmful to male and female children as not having a male parent acting masculine and developing male children as they need to be and discipline and logical thinking being imparted also to female children. It causes female children to be insecure and have an unstable self image when both parents are very emotional.
So this is harmful to both sexes and men being encouraged to be emotional is in fact morally wrong and wrong in terms of science, reproduction, and sociologically.
You know that instinctively despite what they may teach in schools or the media may promote. So... let’s not do that and let’s cut the crap and let’s teach men it’s not ok to be emotional and that they need to be physically and mentally and emotionally strong and not to be overly emotional and let’s not argue nonsense.
Because the bottom line is you can offer a retort if you like but there is no ground left to stand on to refute my point which is that it’s harmful for men to be taught to be emotional and certainly overly emotional and it needs to cease from being taught and promoted as “good” immediately.
