Women tend to use men's emotional revelations against men, the more sincere you are, the more venom they spew and hurt they inflict. It is not wise to show your cards when your opponent doesn't have your best interest in mind, and make no mistake, in the early stages of dating women make themselves opponents to men, just to be safe and cautious; you part your hair wrong or the wind blows it ever so slightly weird on the first date, you're toast.

Yes this is something I've observed. This is how one of my guy friends is with me.

Kindness and friendliness are personality traits rather than emotion.

Ok, given the choice between a sensitive caring man who often shares his emotions and how he's feeling and a man who keeps it to himself and only supports you and YOUR emotions....we know how many women will respond. You want your men to be men, and not women.

We just need to SUCK IT UP AND BE A MAN!

Give me a nice / sweet / affectionate gal, who likes receiving all of the above too, and that will always make my day a perfect one!
Right. Its ok to show those feelings a little into the relationship but not before or starting stages.

When I can consider her like a best friend. It's got nothing to do with "women don't like sensitive men". For me, it's that I'm an introvert and don't like to burden people with my deep thoughts and feelings unless they are very close to me. Plus only a select few deserve to really know me.

I always take a man's lead. When he begins to open up and share his feelings with me, I'll reciprocate in kind (if I trust him).

The man should always be the one to move the relationship forward, IMO. A gentleman doesn't expect a woman to take a risk that he isn't willing to take first. He needs to pave the way.

That's the truth. It's important to never show weakness around your opponent; in this case the woman. Even if she does have your best interest at hart, one should still be cautious about how much of themselves they reveal because one wrong move and she can/will use that against you.

No wonder dating is so f'ed up. You have people considering the other gender as their opponent. Sad.
