I feel you man, the key is: Creativity with a little bit of aggressiveness. We must set ourselves apart from the rest of the bunch. Don't worry will end up on top in the end.

Gee......Sensitive, Compassionate, and Affectionate = PERFECT in my book Aze! At least I can say that "I" don't know of any women who wouldn't be THRILLED to have all those virtues in her man! And whomever said you had to be "wimpy" to be those things as well doesn't know how precious those virtues are to a woman in love, that's for sure! Listen to Disco's post too ..... he's right on (again )!

Any man who understands and is comfortable with himself won't be afraid to BE himself with his partner, and that's a very special and wonderful thing! If you're around girls who don't appreciate that about you, then you just haven't found the right one yet. Don't give up ...... the chase is worth the effort!

Hell no we don't get sought after. Women tend to glance over us like day old bread.

If a man is truly all these things and he is not just faking it, saying it to score and the like..Yes a man like this is more desirable than any other man around..
If you are like this..Stay that way and my best wishes to you..

Ok, My 2cents worth.

I could not imagine my life with someone who was not the things that you are asking about. There is a connection that can not be reached if a man is not. That connection is so unbelievable. I think its very close to saying you are willing to find your soulmate because your willing to open up your soul. I have had a chance to experience this once and now feel that I am going to be jaded, because I can't seem to find any man who is this open with who he is.

I don't understand how people can associate Sensitive, compassionate and affectionate as wimpy, or spineless, because to me that is one person who is willing to be true to himself to gain so much in love and life. So dont worry darlin, You will find someone who will truely appreciate who you are and will be the luckiest woman around.

Just be true to who you are!! You're one in a million

to tell you the truth, all the men out there that are like this, stay that way. its a great quality and never think other wise. its too bad that im married. yes i married that type of man. and there is nothin wrong with it. he love to cuddle and talk, go for walks and holds my hand. will watch corny movies with me, and would do anything for me. its GREAT and i would never change anything about him. You just have to keep trying and youll "catch" the right one.

So many intelligent and very understanding people read this thread and I thank everyone who is as understanding and open as I am.

I don't believe for a second that sensitivity can be a weakness or even make a man a wimpy or not much of a man in the traditional sense. I believe there are way too many macho men out there who believe treating women like sex objects and howling over their breasts or their ass is the manly macho thing to do around other men. I think it's crap! I don't take any pride out of that nor do I want to hear comments like that all the dang time :D Women have much better features, I love gazing at a gals eyes, especially if I like her. Lips are pretty much as equal to me but it would be wierd being caught staring at a girls lips, you might be thought of as a wierdo :D I do truly think sensitivity and affection in a relationship truly makes for a much stronger and more intese relationship. Love when expressed in phyical form (not sex) but just by caressing can mean so much more than saying those 3 simple words! I believe a lot of you gals really believe in what I hold dear, and I thank you all so much!

RE:Yes, we are sought after! As long as we look like Brad Pitt or johnny Depp.

Yes, but Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp, are not regarded as being sensitive, compassionate and affectionate. So the answer is no. It's not the main/first thing being sought after.

I don't think anyone can truly say what is sought after the most, it varies from person to person. I'm sure a lot of women just want a guy who is intouch with his emotions and is communicative. Simple things that can make a relationship last.

If I were a yes man type of guy I don't think I would have gone as far in this thread as I have. I may have just given up at the first sign of negativity and believed what people told me was true. But I have a very persistent personality. I don't give up easily for anything, including love. I am strong willed! And a gal with a fiery personality is someone I can relate to.

Rocky and pusher. Maybe you guys are looking for something else in a woman. (I'm NOT Passing judgement) I know that the first thing I look for in a man is Sensitivity, compassion, and affection. If those are not there then I will move on. I am a very strong person. I am who I am and I know what I want. I will not settle for less. I wish there were more men like this who are not afraid of what "THE GUYS" will think. Whats wrong with being gentle? whats wrong with being compassionate? whats wrong with being affectionate? Whats wrong with being tender? These things bring so much more to a relationship. I see so many men saying that they want women to appreciate them for who they are, but yet are afraid of showing us who that is because they dont want the guys to think they are whipped? I dont get it.

If you are wimpy, doormat, spineless, whiney, then no. If you mean considerate, pleasing,
tolerant, then yes.

It seems to me... based on the women I've known... that they want the compassionate, caring, romantic guy... but for the initial attraction to the stranger they want a bit of mystery, a bit of danger... a rogueish quality. They seem to want to find a guy who looks like a pirate but has the heart of a poet... kind of the female equivalent to the 'maddonna/whore' complex guys supposedly have.

Christine:

Wow, talk about misunderstanding what the gent is talking about. He is not whinning about things not going his way. He is asking a question, by firstly relaying the type of person he is, then a question, then he goes on to tell us about his personal experiences and the two don't click hence his confusion. Re-read the post again. Since it's clear you missed the point... instead you just slammed him because you can. Naughty Naughty

Azerothx

Dude, you are a romantic (i'm one too) so I feel for ya. You want more from a woman that just sex. You want the magic, that songs are written about and movies are made of. You want more than one night stands with multiple partners... you want something real... and I admire that since it is extremely rare in this day and age. Don't give up, and maybe more specifically don't give up hope. I believe that those are the easiest things to say, and the hardest to do, but if you continue hoping, and keeping your wits about you, eyes open, your opportunity will come and you will have a great relationship with a girl that is special to you. Hasn't happened for me yet, but I'm optimistic (perhaps even foolishly). The suggestion of putting up a picture with a smile I think is a good one... you want the lovely ladies to see the lighter side of you.

General Note:

I have never wanted to live in the US, until today. Such lovely ladies. Makes me regret not spending more time in California this past summer :(

Thanks Woozoo. What you said means a lot to me.

And yeah I understand I should smile and I wish a had a cam to retake some pics but i don't >.< So I guess I can take them down or leave em up so people do get a general idea what I look like even though I don't have a huge smile on, though I know I should so I hope the ladies forgive me :P

WooZoo ... Aze ..... Simlasa ...

I, for one, am REALLY HAPPY there are still guys out there like YOU! You guys are hard to find though .... a dying breed methinks :)

Don't ever try to change yourself to please someone else .... it always ends in disaster :) But being yourselves and finding a similar person to share your heart and soul freely with is a really LIFE ALTERING event. Very much worth the wait!

Sandy!

I agree with Sandy. Dont change who you are. You all have some of the most wonderful qualities that ANY person should have. I have experienced this type of relationship and it is something that you can NOT explain to someone. It truely is Life Altering. Thats why I wont give up on finding someone exactly like you men. But just know there is someone out there for you who will truely appreciate the man you are. Best wishes to you all.
