I have always been sensitive...I actually find it hard not to be with the way this world is and with all the people who are struggling. But anyway, my question...is it a turn off to girls if a guy is sensitive? Maybe not to ALL girls, but most?
Who cares what this girl thinks...just be *you*!

Btw, sensitive girls usually like sensitive guys...you need a sensitive girl my friend!

They make me feel better, but I'm pretty good at them most of the time.

Lol sorry, but not true I'm also a sensitive guy, and the feelings of others are very, very important to me. I adopt a "Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you" philosophy about it

If I were to intentionally hurt someone's feelings, then I would feel really bad But I do genuinely and sincerely care about others' feelings

No, it's not a turn off at all to a mature woman.

And anyone who doesn't cry or at least get emotional watching Extreme Makeover is crazy to me.

Now if you cry all the time, that's different.

Tell me about it. I don't think there was a dry eye in the house after watching the Veterans Day special.

Who needs to have someone in your life that is constantly thinking of me me me me? Usually those in-sensitive types had parents who did not have the sense to love their children with all their hearts - and in turn the kid grows up dull and oblivious to the needs of others - a sensitive man - is a person who has empathy - intelligence - the capcity to love - to be gentle - to be a gentle man...

I see young woman who over look gentle men and go for the insensitive brute - who they THINK is good in bed because he is rough and selfish...Then they wonder why they can not find a good man and go from brute to brute....maybe those that do not want good and sensitive men are in a constant state of self punishment and denial?

Sometimes it's all about balance - finding someone who complements you. I'm so overly sensitive that if I was with someone who was as sensitive as I am - we'd probably cry all the time. My husband balances me out.

So true. I've seen this many times. Many women will even go from abuser to abuser! It's as if they can't fathom the thought that a more sensitive man might be good for them.
