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?

Maybe we expect too much too soon. Start with something simple like a "chick flick" that has some humor or gun toting in it. It might be too much to ask for him to sit through two hours of girl talk. He may not cry at the sensitive parts, but you may get some chuckles out of him. Laughter is better than sighs.

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.

If you wish for it, you might just get it. Make sure you are not trying to make him too feminine or sensitive. You have only yourself to blame if he starts crying at every beer commercial.

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, we don't see men trying to get women to be less sensitive and less feminine. They like that about us. They want to have someone to protect. So if he isn't trying to change you, is there a reason why are you trying to change him?
