The overly-sensitive man…
I really don’t know how it happens, but there are some guys out there who are anatomically male, but emotionally female. You’re probably thinking: “Well, they’re most likely gay,” but I sadly have to say that no, some of these men are not.
These men are whiners…complainers…attention seekers who use sensitivity as a way to get some time in the spotlight. These people talk about their friend’s friend’s friend who died…about the sad story in the paper about the abandoned puppies, and somehow link it to a story in their own lives…they don’t dwell in their own sadness without immediately calling up anyone, ANYONE, to talk to…and if something, minute as it may be, sends them up in a flurry, they will travel from person to person, butting into conversations, and inform them that they are uncomfortable about something no one else cares about.
These “men” are losers. Losers to an exponential power. It’s hard enough getting women to quelch their complaints when they have them…but an overly-sensitive man won’t stand to be comforted because once they are, the attention they get will dissipate. So they stay in their state of aggravation, even though it’s starting to aggravate those around them.
It goes without saying that I am not a fan of this type of man. Yes, I would prefer a guy who was sensitive in the sense that he is aware of my feelings and the feelings of others…but I do not want to be around someone who thinks complaining and whining and talking about sad stories will win him pity points.
If you are an overly-sensitive man, please stay away from me. I will just laugh at you and call you derogatory names behind your back.

To be sensitive is fine; to be a poose and a chronic whiner is just, well, not very smart.
BTW: How are you doing?
Good point…
If you can’t play the “cool and funny” card, or the “aloof, mysterious AND introverted” card (oh, and you happen to be ugly), then you have to throw out the “overly-sensitive-straight-male” vibe, hoping that at least some fobby chick will go for it.
I’d rather someone be indifferent to me than to pity me …
