We all get tired of watching "chick flicks" alone and begging our male significant others to learn to dance. If we are able to talk a man into taking us to an opera it is usually riddled with yawns and sighs of boredom. So how can we make men more feminine? How can we help them to show their more sensitive sides?

A woman's expectation may be too high. It might be too much to expect your man to drop the football and start wearing pink all in one day. You have to find a way to bring out his sensitive side while still protecting his brute side. Try to find one thing he is willing to do that still has some of his interests involved. Like a funny "chick flick".

Make it fifty-fifty. If you don't like action movies or movies with a mentality of a twelve year old, then don't expect him to be so cooperative of tear-jerkers. There has to be some meeting of the middle or no one feels they are getting their needs met. Men and women don't need to have the same interests. Pick out one or two things to do together and the rest you can do 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.

Accept his limitations. You just can't get lemonade from a tomato. Some things just aren't possible. This may be true of your male counterpart. Most males are hard wired for being protectors and providers. But it's entirely possible that you can soften a few edges here and there.

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.
