Guys, there is a huge difference between being sensitive and being a sissy.
Anthropologists define the new alpha male, the current one, as a sensitive man. One who is empathetic and understanding. A good communicator, one who offers support.
That doesn’t make a guy a sissy. It’s not the same thing at all.
Bill Clinton is an example of a current alpha male. “I feel your pain.” He’s sensitive but he’s not a sissy.
Of course women dump sissys. We don’t ask for sissys. We never claimed to want sissys.
The guy I’m with now is a perfect example. If I tell him about a problem I’m having, he responds, “I think I understand what you mean. You’re saying that…” I tell him that I have problems with insecurities. So he says, “Well then, I’ll just have to give you some extra affection.” He will instigate conversations about our feelings.
Sensitive.
He has practiced kung-fu for seven years. Had his nose broken. Has been in more than a handful of real fights. Played and watches rugby. If somebody is p!ssing him off, he tells them off.
When he instigates conversations about our ‘feelings’, it is never a desperate plea for reassurances. It’s more of a, ‘this is how I feel about us and this is where I see this going.’ State of the Union. It’s very nice.
Not a sissy.
Now, a lot of guys are sensitive because they are sissys. They act sensitive because they are too weak to really stand up for themselves. Any time you talk about your feelings, it’s really him talking about how he feels worried or scared or hurt because, one day, heaven for fend, you were in a p!ssy mood.
I don’t know if you guys have ever been with a woman like that, I know they are out there, but that is FRUSTRATING.
That’s why they ultimately get dumped.
BIG difference.
Nor do I see any problem with buying a three year old edible lipstick. It’s novel and the novelty will wear off inside of a week. Trust me. You’re making a mountain out of a mole hill.
