Sensitive men make better partners
Men usually hide their emotions and tears to appear stronger, while modern psychology considers expressing emotions, regardless of gender, a sign of mental health.
The New York Post, quoting Marina Lazares, a relationship expert and author of the book “Men Also Need Love,” says: “Men who sometimes cry are better at expressing love.”
She states that the thin line between vulnerability and masculinity is the greatest challenge for men in today’s society. Importance of balance: While sensitivity is a positive trait, it should be balanced with other qualities like assertiveness and clear communication to maintain a healthy dynamic in the relationship.
This seems to be something that Generation Z has realized, as many of these young women are attracted to kind and emotional men. Men who pay attention to their feelings and emotions and can be open and honest in emotional relationships.
Adam Cohen-Slat, a marriage counselor, says: “I think the definition of masculinity is changing. Some traditional norms are shifting. Today, masculinity no longer means being tough and hardheaded, but rather being honest, respectful, supportive, and expressive of emotions.”
According to reports from the dating app Bumble, about 31% of American men have consciously changed their behavior, opting to share their real emotions with others, especially in romantic relationships, instead of hiding their feelings or not showing their weaknesses. This leads to relationships that are more honest and genuine, allowing for a deeper connection with their partners.
The same Bumble report states that for one-quarter of men worldwide (25%), this new approach of being more open has had a positive impact on their emotional state.
According to experts, efforts to destigmatize and redefine masculinity provide an opportunity for men to be more emotionally free and to experience a broader spectrum of aesthetics and emotions.
According to many relationship experts, sensitive men can often make better partners because their ability to empathize, understand emotions deeply, and be attuned to their partner’s needs can lead to stronger, more fulfilling relationships; however, it’s important to remember that not all sensitive men are good partners and that a healthy relationship depends on a balance of traits from both partners. Benefits of sensitivity: A sensitive man can actively listen to his partner’s feelings, understand their perspective, and respond with compassion, which can foster a strong emotional connection January 26, 2025 | 5:09 am
