My belief is that most women belive they want a sensitive man (after all, that’s the cultural norm), until they actually get one. It’s not super cool IRL unfortunately. Though it’s very rare that women admits this to themselves or others. Usually you can find another believable excuse, that fits with the norm. Abnormal sensitivity often comes with extra baggage.

But there are of course exceptions, and that’s what you should look for if you’re a guy and know you’re on the more sensitive side of the spectrum.

Also don’t fall for any of that “patriarchy” crap that is being spammed here. It’s just a useless concept (or religion). Usually advocated by people with close to zero life experience and a taste for conspiracy theories. And in this context its almost dangerous, because even if it was true, advocates draw the wrong conclusions (like that a less patriarchal society would appreciate sensitive men more). If you want to understand why the world feels injust or that you’ve been fooled, I would start with reading about evolutionary game theory and maybe look at Robert Sapolskys video lectures on human behavior biology on YouTube. Then do some reading on moral realism (and why it’s stupid). If you’re American (sorry) its probably more likely that you are a firm believer in moral realism and that you don’t know much about evolution and biology. Don’t go for Jordan Peterson because he’s just a completely incoherent thinker (or simply put, a quite stupid guy), who’s also into mysticism. Or maybe just read some Peterson and you will hopefully understand. He’s very average, but had good timing I guess.
