What do girls think of sensitive guys/men ? please be 100% honest

I was wondering, how do girls view sensitive artistic guys? I notice some girls label them as pussies, and some say they are "cute". What is the general consensus here honestly? I am talking about a guy who is not very macho at all, but still makes an effort asserting his manliness at times. I myself am not the most macho man, and am just average height. My presence is probably not very "manly". I guess am in touch my some feminine sides of myself, which I would assume to be somewhat of a turn off to females. I make the assumption because I myself am attracted to dainty girls, those with a womanly persona. As you can probably tell I have self esteem issues in general. I worry a lot (anxiety) and I do things that are not considered manly, such as playing piano, singing, and writing in journals. I love to talk about things too. I like to discuss things on a "deep" level. I'll be honest, I'm a bit insecure when it comes to the ladies. I don't think I could be any less insecure. So ladies tell the truth. What do you really think about us sensitive guy?

They are just as good as a macho man, just different. 91
I honestly prefer a macho man, no offense! 20
They can be cute, but they can also be annoying. 62

    I love love love guys like you!! I love artistic people in general. Much better than macho guys who think they're all that.

    But there wasn't an option on the poll for this :(

    It really depends on how you conduct yourself. If you're open to things macho men would snub, I would say that is very attractive. However, if you have meltdowns like a teenage girl who can't fit into her prom dress, that would be irritating.

    And if it's any consolation, I've read an article in Psychology Today that says most women prefer to settle down with sensitive men. They just date super macho guys for fun.

    I have been told I am a nice guy, and which I am at times. There is no problem with it. Its better to nice than rude. But no one is always nice, we all have a dark side!

    “We all have something to hide, some dark place inside us we don’t want the world to see, so we pretend everything’s OK, wrapping ourselves in rainbows… and maybe that’s all for the best, because some of these places are darker than others”

    "I do things that are not considered manly, such as playing piano, singing, and writing in journals."

    I disagree with this sentence. I think that all of those things can be manly if done a certain way.

    My rule is: I do the crying, not the guy. I go emo...not the guy. But my extremely beautiful sister loves guys like you. And all of our siblings love her boyfriends. They're completely endearing. So bottom line is that there are wonderful women out there for you and not to worry.

    Not only am I extremely attracted to sensitive men, but I'm turned off by overconfident guys. I will turn down someone who approaches me for my number because I think it's safe to assume that he's done that many times before so there is nothing special about me other than the way I look. It also makes the statement that he begins relationships based soley on physical appearance which is not a recipe for a healthy relationship. I know a lot of shallow women who date shallow "macho" men, let them have each other. I also know alot of very attractive girls who are only turned on by guys that sound like you. You will have a better chance than a macho man at attracting a non superficial girl who will actually stick around after the lust phase has ended. Don't buy in to these fake images of people portrayed by the media, becaue assuming that every girl wants a macho man is like assuming that every man wants an anorexic girl.

    Here is my opinion. I think sensitive in feelings way (example caring about stuff u do and say and happen.) is cute. But i like men that can also protect me and prie they are the stronger more manly one. If a guys has feeling but still acts like a manly tough guy its a total turn on for me.

    Depends what type of sensitive. When I was half way through reading this I was going to answer that the type of sensitive guy I love are the type that have a diary, and then I saw that you were exactly the type I love haha. Please don't be insecure, you have no idea how many people(myself included) find guys like you absolutely perfect.

    The type of sensitive guy I don't like are the ones who wouldn't defend the person they love in a fight or something like that, basically a wimp.

    Also, I dislike it when men are whiny. That being said though, I love a man who isn't afraid to cry at something they feel passionate about...:)

      Isn't the person they love a wimp if they can't defend themselves?

        Yeah but if that person can't defend themselves and the guy doesn't step in to help them, I think that makes him a wimp.

              I can't stand whiny people in general regardless of who they are.. And I also do not think that not being afraid to cry about what they're passionate about doesn't count as "sensitive" because there's more emphasis that someone actively does care for something. I personally have a huge passion for anime/manga, and I'd probably cry if none of them exists anymore. I don't do it because I'm sensitive, I do it because it's a big part of my life!

    Oh I love a man that can sing!!!!

    Women don't mind the deep conversations etc but don't show your insecurities - that's weak / clingy and boring. Pretend to be macho / assertive inside. You can artsy etc but we still like someone we can rely on.

    I personally find them annoying as fuck, it'd probably be godsends to them if they stay away from me unless they can handle not being sensitive in front of me..

    I honestly absolutely ADORE guys like you!! And please don't try to act macho! a) Macho men are the biggest turn off ever and b) you should seriously just be yourself! You'll find a girl who isn't into macho fakies :D

    playing piano and singing does not make you less of a man!
    being a coward,
    wining about everything,
    crying when watching titanic,
    wearing an apron when you cook,
    not being able to lift your woman or wife of the floor,
    talking in a high pitched voice,
    not being able to provide or help provide for your family and having to order special XS condoms from china WILL however make you less of a man

    I personally am not into guys sharing to much of their emotions but that is just because i don't do this myself. i know lots of woman out there will find you perfect(personallity wize that is.. If your hairy in weird places on top of this i'm sorry there is no hope)

    I like a happy medium. But I'd rather have a sensitive guy than one who is an ass hole or such a dick that he never talks about serious things.

    Being a sensitive guy isnt bad at all!(: i personally love it when i guy can show his emotions instead of acting like he doesnt have any. "macho" guys try to come off as so tough and they dont care about anything blah blah blah, but an emotional guy can put on a "manly" persona when he feels is necessary, but can express his emotions without trouble at all. You shouldnt be self concious about being in touch with your feminine side, you sound like you can be manly and feminine and i think that is a great combination. So dont be self concious about who you are.(:

  • To me, sensitive artistic guys make great friends. They're always there. They know exactly what to say. But I don't want to be in a relationship with anyone as sensitive as me. I would rather be with someone that can kind of pull me together instead of simply empathize with me. Too much empathy and sensitivity in a relationship gets annoying. I don't mean to sound shallow or anything..

    I think that there are all sorts of types of people. While I like a macho guy (I think a macho guy is one who is manly and owns up to his feelings every once in a while, guys who act like jerks to cover up insecurities are douchy) because I want to be the girly girl, and cook his dinner and pick out his cologne, there are other girls who really dig a sensitive type. There isn't anything wrong with guys like you at all!! :-)

    AHHH!!! I love people like you :'DDD I am not really a person who likes to date, but this is basically my ideal person.

    I don't usually like macho men, especially if their only "good" quality is being macho.
    I sincerely like nice guys. I would only date a nice person.

    Guys who are too macho are sometimes too intimidating and they freak me out. I need someone who I can talk to, relate to.

    So yes. I'm sure that there are loads of girls who'd love you. I personally know a lot.

    They're cute, but they aren't very sexy. Unless they're musicians, and good ones not the weird ones who think their different.

    There are definitely more general types of guys beyond macho men and artsy types.
