Sensitivity, the difference between men and women

Sensitivity

The most important exterior difference between men and women is in the tactile senses. When a woman touches something, she smells it, sees it, tastes it, hears it, and feels it, all with the same touch. Her senses are physically and spiritually heightened; her touch is soft and pure.

A man, on the other hand, doesn’t have the innate sensitivity to see anything beyond its natural state, unless he has taken time to nurture his inner being, which most men don’t.

I watched a comedy last night on television, and the male character had gone off the deep end with his innate masculine desires. He felt he had betrayed his masculinity by becoming a sensitive man for the women in his life. He admitted he wanted to be dominant, he wanted to be the solitary workforce and wanted his wife to stay home and raise children, he wanted his needs to come first, and he finally was proud to admit these feelings. Of course, his wife on the show had resigned to the fact that he had gone off the deep end because he was too much of a wimp to divorce her. She assumed he wanted her to make the decision to leave.

This was one of those rare times on television we see a clear vision of the ridiculous traits men have been taught to foster. Men have decided it wouldn’t be in their best interest to be sensitive and caring, because it would make them appear to be more feminine. So, they cut themselves off from the necessary energy of the heart—compassion.


When men stop listening to the cries of others, they often stop listening to the cry of their own soul. This marks disaster for the entire population. Eventually, when a man gets everything in the world he feels he needs: job advancement, a home, a boat, a wife, children, a girlfriend on the side, and lots of money; he realizes his heart is empty. This is the classic example of a man reaching fifty and going through a major life change.

Finding a sensitive man is not an easy task. Right? But if you use my knowledge of living in a man’s body, and your concept of the right man, together we can get a closer glimpse of just the perfect mix of fact, fiction, and feeling, to find that compatible mate.
