How To Feminize A Man

By Angie Walters

Is it too much to ask for the men in our lives to take dance lessons with us? Can we ever go to a "chick flick" without hearing sighs of boredom? All of these struggles leave us wondering if men are capable of tapping into their sensitive sides. How can we feminize a man without the frustration?

Keep the list short. Start with one sensitive thing at a time, and try to keep it easy. He won't be happy about sitting through a two hour drama, so find something that will be enjoyable for him too. His eyes will not roll to the back of his head if it has some action.

Take the middle of the road. If he is willing to take dance lessons, then you have to be willing to go hunting. If you expect him to cry at every touching movie scene, then you better be willing to knuckle punch every bullseye. That is just how it works. Otherwise, pick one womanly thing and one manly thing to do together, and do the rest with friends.

Be careful what you wish for. So how sensitive and feminine do you want him? Maybe you want him to be less of a bad boy once in a while, but not a complete pansy. When trying to tap into his feminine side, make sure you don't accidentally bring out too much of his sensitiveness. You might get more than you bargained for.

Men just can't do it. Women can't take it personally if a man finds it easier to laugh and swear then to cry. Some of this is in their genetic coding. Some men just can't cry even if they want to. Do not misinterpret their lack of tears as insensitive.

Finally, most men are raised differently and cannot be changed. Generally, women are raised with a more sensitive and feminine mentality. Women cannot be changed anymore then men can. We may be asking too much of men to expect them to be sensitive and feminine on the level that women were raised to be.
