That's not what they want from a man they're in a romantic relationship with. Their idea of "sensitive" is Chad showing emotion but not too much emotion. The boy bands they love so much are a good example of this. If an average man acted that way she'd lose attraction in a heartbeat.
The only reason women want you to talk about your feelings is because they will use them as weapons against you later. I cried when my grandfather died in front of my girlfriend at the time. A few years later, during the breakup, she brought it up as one of the reasons she was 'disgusted' by me. Learned my lesson, only talk through emotional shit with male friends. They understand.
I distinctly remember my grandfather telling me that crying was “never ok”, even when I was like, 5, and seriously injured myself…
But he was Presbyterian as all fuck, and a hard, hard man, so…
Unfortunately that perhaps doesn’t go for all men of that time.
You’d be surprised at how cold some of them were. Though I appreciate that my family are not representative of wider reality. I’ve met plenty of older blokes who were much less… “Stoic” than that.
Yup. It's a catch 22 like all the expectations they have of groups they hate. The sooner you realize they'll hate you know matter what you do and stop catering to them the happier you'll be.
"Why don't men talk about their feelings? They are so repressed." Okay, well I don't like it when- "Wow! Men so fragile!"
Every time
Their definition of a "sensitive guy" is essentially limited to simping.

But hey, they did their best, I guess.
