I like someone who shows emotion through discussion. But he has to still have that masculine centered peace that you never seem to find in females under 50 if at all. An overly sensitive man would not survive me. Nor would a robot. Showing weakness controlled is amazingly attractive to me. Its a special kind of strength.

Men are programmed socially and genetically to express emotions through sex or anger. And they call us the crazy ones. HAHA!

Too much of either is never good, but mystery is attractive and those that wear their hearts on their sleeve have less success with women.

Really? I think women for the most part like their men to be men but the inaccessible wears thin quickly much like the hot girl without a brain. Of course if your definition of success is boning a clueless bimbo then yeah, you may be right.

you know something. honestly, i wish i didn't train myself to hide certain emotions. i haven't cried in over 10 years because around 10 years ago when i was trying to be a tough guy, i thought that it was unmanly to . i would also train myself to not be happy or happy go luck. i thought it was cool to be either mad or i guess emotionless. i was moody as hell around that time and i still am a moody person now. repressing emotions and being pent up sucks.

Great saying: "Don't wear your heart out on your sleeve; because, there is always someone who is all too willing rip your entire arm off!"

Let me guess, your definition of success is scoring a REAL woman, right?

Anyway, I wouldn't fault a woman for being attracted to ultra mysterious dudes or cry babies. I see no clueless bimbo correlation, and neither does an attraction to guys, who happen to strike some balance, indicate she's quality.

Taste/preference is all it is.

You guessed wrong. It isn't about fault as to what someone is attracted to, that is their business. It isn't about my definition of scoring as that has nothing to do with this thread and I don't score. Thats for 20 year olds, I haven't heard someone my own age talk about scoring for decades. Way past that. He said such men have greater success. I disagree unless your looking at a subset of women who have yet to experience the pleasure of being with someone who is cold and dead. He may be right there. I went out with a girl like that mystery and all and once was enough. I would not do it again and I doubt women are so different.

I want someone who is tough and will be able to protect me but isn't afraid to pour out his emotions when necessary.
But what's so bad about a very emotional (meant in a good way) and uber-sensitive man? Granted, crying b/c of anything and everything, or at the drop of a hat, can also be confusing even to me, from a male perspective. But the whole notion though that men who are very sensitive, soft-hearted, gentle, and in-tune with their (positive) emotions are "just another one of the girls" is an unfortunate male stereotype that should be thrown into the dustbin of history. Society conditions men from toddler-hood and beyond to not be as overly-affectionate, loving, and "soft", as girls are encouraged to be...and this is a mistake, in MHO. Why can't boys/men be as nice and loving and affectionate as girls/women? And why *shouldn't* they be (meant here, as a rhetorical question)?
