Sensitive Guy

People talk about the sensitive guy. A guy who like romantic comedies, gossiping, and going for walks on the beach. I would say I hate that guy but the truth is that he doesn't exist(not to be confused with shy guy, those are real). It's a persona certain desperate men put on to try to attract a mate. You might be dating or even married to one of these atrocities. The longer men keep up that image, the more invested they become in it, until they really believe that's them. But it isn't. Every man has the instinct to eat 72 oz steaks and impregnate as many women as possible. Intelligence keeps us from doing those things, but the undercurrent is still there. Instinct can be suppressed but it can not be denied, regardless of evolution and intelligence. There may be the extremely rare case that doesn't have these instincts, but those are genetic abnormalities and should be eliminated for the survival of the species. Of course women are idiots and even though they say they want this type of guy, they'll end up with some alpha male who will pressure her into anal sex, so I think we'll be OK either way.

That brings me to another point, though. As much as I hate the sensitive guy persona, I equally hate the alpha male. Not only are these guys much more outwardly obnoxious, they are much more plentiful. It is possible to be respectful of women without being a simpering ninny 'sensitive guy'. Of course this type of guy thinks everyone is a sissy but himself.

Yet another evolutionary mistake is a group I deemed a long time ago as 'revo monkeys'. Revo monkeys are much like 'sensitive guys' in that they should live a long lonely life in their mom's basement. But like 'sensitive guys' they make a desperate stab at finding a mate. Revo Monkeys are pretty much women worshipers. They follow a woman's every wish just so they might get a short glimpse inside her delicates. These guys are much more prevalent than 'sensitive guys', but not nearly as much as Alpha males.

So does this label all men as hopelessly pathetic or rape and pillage Neanderthals? Certainly not. Alpha males make up about 25% of the population, limited intelligence, but with redeeming qualities such as athletic ability and occasionally looks. Revo Monkeys and Sensitive Guys make up 10% of the most useless population together, somewhat limited intelligence, not attractive, no real personality to speak of. And then everyone else. We're not perfect, but we're not those guys, either.

The perfect man, in my opinion, has sensitive moments and alpha moments. My boyfriend is incredibly sappy sometimes, which is wonderful, but I'm also very proud of the various types of combat he trains in. That's badass.

Where do you reckon you come on the scale?
