Contrary to general opinion, women are not so sentimental as men, but are much more hardheaded.
Men can be tender, too.
Men tuned into women but not tuned into their own hurts usually retained the attitude that women needed special protection.
There is a resemblance between men and women, not a contrast. When a man begins to recognize his feeling, the two unite. When men accept the sensitive side of themselves, they come alive.
A man who's powerful and strong yet is able to show tenderness and vulnerability, that's really sexy.
It is fatal to be a man or woman pure and simple; one must be woman-manly or man-womanly. It is fatal for a woman to lay the least stress on any grievance; to plead even with justice any cause; in any way to speak consciously as a woman. And fatal is no figure of speech; for anything written with that conscious bias is doomed to death. It ceases to be fertilized.
I guess since the groin is the center of a guy's world, he rarely guesses it isn't the center of yours.
