I have to agree that sensitivity is probably a minority orientation,
and that many women will reject a sensitive man for anything from
a vague sense of discomfort over his feelings to the idea that he
is not ``man'' enough.  But my own experience is that there are more
women looking for sensitive men than there are sensitive men.  All
too often I've seen a friend ``discover'' a sensitive man, only to
find out that she really has just found an overgrown baby who is
most sensitive to his own needs and in her feelings only so far as
it allows him to further his own ends.

There are enough ``sensitive'' assholes out there to give sensitive
men a bad name.  At least you know where the macho types are coming
from.
