I just met my girlfriend

[Fry Guy]

I'm a sensitive guy

Most men are, but many would deny it with their dying breath. In general, they are waaaay more sensitive than women.

No, women are more sensitive than men.
Men are not inhuman but have been indoctrinated from the day that they are born to emancipate themselves from feelings, be willing to confront physical threat, to risk disappointment, to rein in fear and anger, to not cry, not expose themselves to vulnerability.

The end result is precisely the opposite of what you say.

Kind of dumb there, Duchess.

For the record, I do not think that the difference is good or bad necessarily, but pretending reality is different than what it is, is pretty silly. Women by and large are more agreeable and more nurturing. They are more likely to be given to crying, sharing feelings and being demonstrably emotional. Does not make them bad or good just makes them women. Also I personally believe they live 10 years longer because they do these things.

PS Don't try the tack of saying "Well I am a woman and I don't....." Don't care. I am saying in generalities. The average man and average woman have different levels of emotional expressiveness and women are more sensitive than men.

I disagree with you. If you were to go by this forum alone it would prove men are more sensitive than women. But besides for that, in general men have bigger egos than women and when their ego is hurt they act like bitches. Men have been taught to not show emotion as you said, but that doesn't mean they don't have those emotions. They just try to hide it, and they're not always very good at it. I would say that in general men are just as sensitive and emotional as women, if not more. I'm not going by any studies that have been done or anything, just what I've noticed about men in my 43 years, and they act like fucking babies when they're upset.

Misreading by someone who (as far as I know) has never been a man and does not know what is sensitivity or what is acting like fucking babies or being upset (online) is in a male.

I mean it is no surprise from the time males and females learn to socialise as children girls tell the male counterparts that their way of playing or socialising is dumb. Females are socialised differently to males. For them pressing a matter or pursuing a point often goes against an agreeable aspect to their personality and socialisation. So such things would be generally only done when the stakes are a little raised. Fr example if their feelings are hurt and they are indignant, offended, upset or whatever. I mean why else bother? Using that mentality and imposing that on why a male does what he does is really stupid.

Yes I acknowledge fully that is what both you and Duchess are doing.

Males are a different kettle of fish. We have not been taught to be agreeable or have gender preference or play co-operatively or gently. Us pursuing something or not being agreeable or fighting hard for something rarely is an emotional investment. Where you have at least got something half-right is that ego can play a role but even here you are most wrong. A healthy male ego has no issue doing any of these things and without investment. It is possible that a male ego that is not healthy or well serving the male is either unable to ever let something go or unable to start things in the first instance.

Like with all things people do things and react in ways for a variety of reasons. To try to say that men on forums react in ways that you presume a level of emotional investment or intent is retarded. Don't presume. Don't be retarded. Either of you.
