I would never cry over small things or if i did not get my way or anything. I do know when i meet a girl and fall in love when we have are first child i know i am going to cry because i am so happy.

Also very good at encouraging people .I have confidence in myself and I am independent. For the most part I am control of my emotions. I know when I need to be strong and keep my boundaries.

Being a jerk is not in my DNA even if I tried and I have tried to be one and it did work so well. It not like I let woman walk all over me and I stand up for myself and am only a jerk if you push me to me one.
I make people laugh and am a sarcastic and jokes around.

Some people say men do not cry and men should hide are feelings. I know that I am going to cry at some

point when I get a job as a nurse it is going to happen.
I think when men allow themselves to cry appropriately, it's a sign of strength.

If you have a fun side, and aren't a doormat (you said you're confident and have good boundaries), you shouldn't have too much trouble attracting women. There's nothing wrong with being a nurse. Nurses make good money, and as you say, it's a great humanitarian calling. I wouldn't worry about the women who kind of back off when they find out you're a nurse. You'll find women who appreciate you. It takes time. Stay positive. There are all kinds of preferences out there. But I know a number of guys who fit your description, and they're happily married. Several are in alternative medicine.

I think your fine. As an aside..... I've always found scrubs hot for some reason.

I've found all guys have a sensitive side when they are around a woman they love and with whom they feel safe.

My husband has not one, but two macho jobs, and he is a sweetheart (I am NOT allowed to tell any of the guys that!).

More likely all the time I spent in hospitals. It's boring, you need to find something to entertain yourself.

I just need to work on my self esteem and stop have unrealistic expectations of what woman want in a BF/ father of the children.

A lot of girls have told me that if i wanted a GF all I would have to do is ask.

What you need to do is not fall for the hype and stereotypes that ALL women want manly men. Men are no longer straight-jacketed into the cowboy/tough cop/John Wayne stereotype. They can show a more caring or gentle side. There are plenty of women out there who LOVE that! So much the better if it's balanced by confidence, brains, good boundaries, and inner strength.

It depends on what that means. It's one thing to have feelings; most people do. It's quite another to hide behind them all the time and have even more mood swings than I do.

When my confidence is up i notice woman seem to smile at me and want to flirt with me . I just wish I could stop blushing when a woman compliments me. Like if a girl says your cute sweet I blush some times.
