Part III: Be Sensitive Without Losing Your Manhood

This is a post of series of: Men’s Quick Start Guide to Dating Women

It’s common to view sensitivity as the line in the sand beyond which manhood no longer exists. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Don’t get the wrong idea; it’s perfectly reasonable to be a bit uncomfortable with sensitivity at first. But there are ways to get around it, and they’re well worth the effort when you’re trying to advance your relationship.

First, remember earlier when I mentioned that sensitivity is all about being in tune with you and with others. Being in tune with yourself simply means knowing yourself and not being afraid to tell your companion who you are and how you feel. That doesn’t mean you have to become overwrought with emotion. It just means you should be able to express yourself, your desires and your dreams.


It’s not about a departure from your manhood…it’s a declaration of who you are as a man. And it’s the same when you show concern for her. You’re still a man, with a man’s perspective, and that perspective can be a precious component of your relationship with her.

Talk to her, be open, and be honest, and she’ll most likely appreciate what you have to say, not much to mention she’ll appreciate that you took the time to pay attention to her in the first place. She’ll know then that you’re a sensitive person.

So sensitivity in a man can be a great thing, and it can bring with it many rewards. It’ll make the relationship you have go more smoothly, and it certainly won’t hurt you when it comes to seduction. But, as with everything else, things can go wrong.

Be careful though, if you go too far, you may crash and burn. Just because you open up to your companion doesn’t mean you should obsess over the little things. It can quickly turn her attention in other directions when she begins to think you’re whining.

And, if you start paying too much attention to too many things, she’ll begin to think you’re being oversensitive. That can be just as bad as not being sensitive enough.

The key is finding balance. Make sure you’re focusing on what matters, but know where to draw the line. To avoid whining, just be careful not to focus on things that bother you too much. Sure, it’s important that you can tell her if something is bothering you, but don’t say it repeatedly.

Once is enough. Remember that there are things you cannot change, so those things must be accepted as they are. Accepting the unchangeable will prevent the risk of whining. Much the same can be said for over-sensitivity. Noticing too many things, and reacting to them all, gives the impression that you may be looking for problems.

As mentioned before, just know what’s really important, and don’t pay much attention to the rest. Little things tend to take care of themselves.

Being a sensitive man is not such a big thing. It certainly seems a bit complicated at first, but with a little practice, you’ll be just fine. Just keep in mind those few stumbling points, and know how you plan to avoid them. If you can do that, you’re headed for great things in your relationship.

From the friendship of a relationship all the way up to the romance of it, sensitivity will serve you well as a guide toward how to treat that special lady. And remember, how you treat her is the basis for how she’ll treat you.
