Women have evolved to wanting a sensitive man that will be understanding of our feelings, know our every thought, know when we want them to talk and when to just listen with a kind ear, basically the qualities that have been found in women for years and probably more what a man wants than a woman. I have found that we want a man that will protect us and act like a leader in our home but when he does we criticize him for being too selfish, controlling, angry, or having anger management problems. I absolutely dont support violence in the home and fight it everyday in my professional life, I just think society has taken away the real meaning of being a man and now we have many confused and angry young men trying to live up to a sterotype of what a man should be.

Over the years I've know many many men who are very good at 'acting like men' but are some of the most sensitive people I've ever known. I agree totally with your distinction between insensitivity and toughness and think we can all use some of both.
