My Husband isn't "macho", actually I haven't heard that term in years LOL, but my Husband is manly, does guy things like watching sports and fishing, doesn't watch romance movies, the only time I saw him cry was when his Dad died, but it was brief and he held up for his Mom, he doesn't like hugging other men.
You know Bally, the most insensitive of the sex is to me the female. Survival I guess and has astounded me just how macho or savage some woman become.
Sensitive men, ----when I need a nurse 24/7 in a home, I pray I get a gay orderly, some of the female nurses I have worked with treat the patients like just a pain in the butt an everyday problem to either ignore or a piece of broken furniture.
Just what is a sensitive man or woman for that fact. I cannot count all the woman that have complained to me about husbands that ignore a baby with a full diaper in pain and crying but have some excuse for not changing the diaper, releaving their own child from pain as they cannot HANDLE the smell. Yet some of these men have in war cleaned the crap out of a Buddy's pants, blood off their body, and had no problem with the smell. ----Go figure.
Sensitive men that will sit for hours in a bar drinking beer to be there for a buddy going through a hard time. No hugging or hand holding, just being there for a friend.
Sensitive men that make sure when the family dog or cat dies is buried before the kids come home from school and place a marker there..
Sensitive man is one that brings wife and new born home from the hospital and does not ask his wife, what are YOU going to cook for supper.
Sensitive man, one who sends on his own flowers to his Mom on Mothers day. Man one that does not have to ask wife or girlfriend what they want for birthday or Xmas, they her well enough to know what will make her happy.
Sensitive men do not have to cry at sad movies, but even the least sensitive will tear up putting a favorite animal down or even go into shock and be unable to shed tears at the funeral of a friend or family member.
Now as far as sensitivity goes, woman will cry at the drop of a hat when they loose control or feel offended or threatened. However history shows that in war the woman are greater warriors then most men. They may tear up at first then go Gung Ho at the enemy, no quarter taken.
Sensitivity at best is to be aware of others and their needs and respond accordingly, Insensitive is to ignore the needs of others and give a darn about anyone but themselves, their needs and desires.
