Yeah, I don't blame you. I hope that you weren't the first to mention the idea of balance, though. We here on this forum are too quick to relegate an answer to one extreme or the other. We look at these questions as an "either/or" proposition, rather than a balanced approach. There is a time to be macho and a time to be sensitive. A man that can control his emotions and run the right play in the right situation I would imagine is more desirable than the guy who can only beat his chest or is just a good listener, but offers little more beyond that. Somewhere in the middle is the answer.



PS: I also didn't look to see if we defined "macho" for this discussion. I generally consider "macho" to be a negative. Sort of like male bravado. I used the word because it is the word the thread uses. For purposes of my answer, when I say "macho" I am essentially referring to qualities such as toughness, decisiveness, able to work, provide, etc.

But sensitive guys are very good at earning a living, providing and being decisive. Maybe there's not that much difference between "macho" and "sensitive", except that "sensitive" guys may not be prone to arrogance, and may be more egalitarian with their SO?

You're right, we do need to define these terms. Although it's a little late in the game, after all these pages...
