Hi, I was just wondering... do women prefer a manly man or a sensitive guy for a boyfriend? Not to sound bigheaded but I'm reasonably muscley and quite strong but I'm also really sensitive and I cry at sad films and other sad stuff that a lot of men wouldnt.

Acting a part is never a good idea, because you couldn't carry on for ever. And anyway, you would end up with a girl that didn't suit you. Women like all different shapes of men, and all different personalities. I would think that physically strong, but sensitive would be one of the more popular combinations though. Just be yourself, be attentive and thoughtful towards a woman that you like, don't be too intense at first.

well i would say you are the perfect boyfriend. as a woman myself i prefer both of best world. all women want a tough guy but who is also sensible.a guy who you could fell safe around him but also who you can both enjoy a romantic movie with once in a while. a would say you are a perfect combination and girls would be mad not to find you attractive. dont change anything and go out and find someone who will appreciate you.

myp agony auntneither...and both, dont try to work on either, women are very intuitive and will sense that your trying to change yourself to fit their standards and a guy thats not comfortable with himself is a serious turn off. Some girls like sensitive guys, others dont and want the feelingless neanderthal others want a balance, some like nerds, others like geniuses EVERY WOMANS DIFFERENT. Just be urself...no one ever listens to me when i say that, but its true if a woman doesnt like u for u then she aint worth your time.

best of luck,

Midge agony auntIt varies from woman to woman. So dont try work on either! You are what you are. A woman that is right for you will like you for whatever you are.

My boyfriend is very sensitive and that is great, but he also has a labour intensive job so he is also quite muscular. But I love him for who he is, faults and all! He isnt perfect, but name someone who is! But I love him for the package, not just his sensitivity or his physique!

I would say sensitive, but I don't know if ALL women would feel the same. It probably varies, some may like tough, some may like sensitive. But in the end though I think being sensitive is your safest bet because being tough might send a wrong message, such as you don't care or something, where as sensitive your gf is going to know that you do.

Danielepew agony auntI will offer the help I think you're in worst need of.

You can't please everyone. Women have different preferences. So, instead of trying to become "the man the girls want", try being yourself. Some girl will not even talk to you, but then some others will appreciate you for who you are.

And then, I think that being "a manly man" is more an issue of mind than muscles. You seem to be the sensitive type; be yourself.
