i have heard women say different things and i am a guy so i don't know how to read women, i don't really think any guy knows how to tell what a woman wants exactly either so...lol...so i was just hoping that you could all help us guys...a lot of women say that they would like a guy that was sensitive, and really showed their feelings for women and all of that stuff, which is fine i guess because i think that women are more sensitive then men most of the time...and then i have heard a few women that say that they don't want a guy that is sensitive because then they would think that they are dating another woman...so i am just wondering from all of you women...which do you prefer? sensitive or not sensitive, and please tell us all why...this should be very interesting...thanks for taking the time to read my discussion and i hope that you all have a great day today!!!

You don't need a woman to tell you what women want. You can look inside yourself and find that you are a person and so are women. What you want are what they want, success, happiness, a good relationship, a good life, etc. Cheers!!

I will admit that I went through stages in which I felt as if I needed and wanted a guy that was not sensitive. However, I know now that it is much better (in my humble and personal opinion) that have a sensitive guy or one who knows how to be sensitive.

Everyone has emotions I don't care who it is we all laugh, cry, and get mad. From my point of view of being a woman I can say that I want a man that is careing,honest,faithful,and knows what he wants to do with his life. I don't mind if a man is sensitive for like I said it's part of nature so I except that part in a man. I have been with friends men that are like this and they like the fact I except them for who they are regardless of if they are senitive or not. That's just my out look on it all.

I like a man who is sure enough of himself to be sensitive when he needs to be, but not a push over. I believe communication in a relationship helps both parties to be what they need to be in order for the relationship to survive. I know I've found that man in my husband to whom I've been married 44 years.

you dont have to be sensitive to understand a womans feelings so i would say i want a MAN! a man knows how to care about others feelings and play his role as a man at the same time. it is not about being sensitive. my boyfriend is not a sensitive person but i guarantee you that if he sees that i am upset or crying about something he is there for me and if i need to talk about US then he is right there to talk and listen.

Well, as for me, I prefer someone who is willing to be open to me about their emotions. I guess this means sensitive, but by saying sensitive I don't mean someone who will cry at "touching" things. I want someone who can deal with things and get through it without breaking down, who can help me deal with things. I just want them to be able to discuss what they feel or think, not necissarily go around expressing it all the time. I don't really like it when people are overly emotional, male or female. I want someone who can be rational and honest.

Not all women like sensitive guys or insensitive guys. Individual differences, right? For me, I would prefer a sensitive guy. A guy who is sensitive to the feelings of a woman and needs of a woman. Being sensitive doesn't always mean that a man is becoming unfaithful or dating another woman, although this is true with other guys. A woman knows if a man is becoming unfaithful, she will feel it. If a man is insensitive to his woman, then that man may not be in love with her. I thank God that I am blessed with a sensitive man.

I'm a sensitive guy type of woman. Those hardcore "I'm the man!" type just don't so it for me and bad boys don't do it for me either. I am a mellow type of person although I am outgoing. I like fun and not trouble. I also like my guy to be there for me (whether it be physically or just over the phone) when I am in need and I like to feel loved, I don't want to feel like your trophy! I am lucky enough to have found the type of guy I am looking for. Sensitive but tough when he needs to be (not unnecessarily!), makes me feel loved and is very understanding, honest and straight-forward with me. He always wants to make sure I am happy and I like to know that he is happy as well. It;s not just all about me, it has to be about him too...otherwise it just won't be fair now would it and the relationship would eventually fail if one person is using the other (be it male or female) But I prefer a sensitive guy any day!

I think there's more to it than being sensitive or not being sensitive. I think it's more about showing real interest. Here you are willing to ask questions, and that's good. But I wonder if you've ever bought any books about understanding women. That's a huge difference between men and women. Women do buy books and read tons of them, trying to understand men. They read articles and studies. They watch Opera and Dr. Phil - trying to understand. Men don't seem to take that same kind of effort about anything having to do with any kind of relationships. (Most don't buy books about being a good daddy either.) They'll buy books about fixing cars or building bird houses. But they won't read or try to learn about relationships. I wonder why that is. My hubby is one who cries at the movies more than I do. He's willing to share his own emotions, and that's fantastic. But he's like any other male...when it comes to the fact that he has never really tried to READ or to ask (the right) questions.

i like my guy to be sensitive for he can feel the things that i am trying to tell him without me blurting it on him. a don't like a non sensitive guy because he might not know when i am pleased or not.

hi..for me i wanted him to be able to let me feel that i am loved and that i am important to him. i dont want to be too sensitive coz i dont want to be held at neck..just fair enough to satisfy my need physically, emotionally and spiritually. i wanted him to be open and let me in into his life and that we will share are hopes and dreams :):)

In all honesty, Woman want the supreme guy. They want them to understand a womans feelings and know what to say at the appropriate time. To remember things and to be gentle with a girls feelings. However, they also want a manly guy, one they feel secure with. I don't think there is such a guy but woman always want whatever their guy isn't! So if they have a very sensitive guy, it's a turn off because yes it is like dating woman and they will want the guy to be more manlyish. If they are dating a pure jock/manly man, they they will want him to be a bit more sensitive towards a females feelings and know how to be sweet and caring. Females want the best of both worlds and If you find a guy that can balance both, please let me know because I'm still looking!

I believe woman like sensitive but open-minded man. Every woman want to get care and help from man. Sensitive man can read out what woman need and do everything for her if he like her. And they man should be open-minded because she would like he to take more responsible and have no complaint at the same time.

I lot of women would say sensitive guy. Coz I believe that for us, a sensitive guy would mean someone who can understand how a woman feels as well as what she wants without necessarily blurting it out. However, after reading Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, I realized that what goes inside a man's head is soo totally different from what goes inside a woman's head. I found the book hilariously interesting coz I see myself in a lot of the situations presented. I wish I had read it before everything was too late. It would be great for people in a relationship to check it out, especially if you're having a bit of trouble (and maybe even if you're not).

It is very simple jhl930, In few words I will tell you the deepest desire of every women. Every women wants that... {man she loved and choose to be her life partner, should not change his attitude towards her no matter what happens..... If today you call her the most beautiful girl....then after 50 years, in her grey hair and wrinkles, you should still feel that she is the most beautiful women in your life and give her the same love and care.......} This is the simple desire of every women, if you give her this then rest of the happiness will come by itself for both of you. AND If you can do this....you will get the true love of women and you don't have the slightest idea that, when women truly loves someone, how amazing it is.........

A sensitive guy who will understand our feelings by listening to us and helping us out with things without being too sensitive - by this I mean being the strong one when we need you to be. However there would be times when you might need us to comfort you and thats ok as long as you do the same for us! x

I like a combination of both. Maybe this is asking a bit much lol. I like that my fiance is man enough to cry in front of me. I think it's sweet when his sensitive side comes out...but he's every inch the man. When he wraps his arms around me there is no safer feeling and I get really hot when he's doing manly things :P I think the best kind of man is a combination of both. You don't want a guy that once the flood gates are open they just don't close. Nor do you want a meat head for a boyfriend. So take note guys, we need both sides in a fair dosage.

i dont think women think that a sensitive guy dates another woman. I am one and my guy is very sensitive. I some times wonder how he will tolerate me if he is so sensitive and I still love him because he is like that. women do like sensitive guys who supposedly take care of them a lot. if the men dont take care, then the women has to do something about it.

ok....im 20yrs of age female...for me...it doesn't matter if a man is sensitive or not...as long as he knows how to love,care,understand us (female) in a way that he can easily adjust his attitude towards us and he's loyal....that's all it matters...
