Relationship Protocol: Does He Cry in Front of You?
Often, there’s a social stigma attached to men who cry. But of course, men get sad, too, and sometimes that sadness is reflected in tears. I mean, they’re only human.
Relationship Protocol: Touchy Subjects
As we make it through the personal successes, failures, and traumas of life, it’s inevitable that we pick up some sore spots along the way that when poked or nudged, can release a torrent of feelings. And just as we develop them on our own, it’s common for touchy subjects to arise as we encounter normal relationship issues. It could be something that consistently creates an argument or something that makes one person extremely uncomfortable, whatever it is, it always involves a lot of emotion.
This or That: Overly Sensitive or Totally Insensitive?
Recently you received a huge promotion at work, and since then you’ve had another woman reporting directly to you. While she’s been very helpful as far as getting things done, she seems to have some kind of imbalance. For the most part she’s very sweet and understanding, but sometimes she just seems to snap.
Dear Quiz: Are You Overly Sensitive?
Though being in touch with your emotions and knowing how to communicate them is a great trait, letting your emotions get the best of you can lead to more trouble and stress than it's worth.

Obviously, some of us are more sensitive than others, so take this quiz to see if you're too sensitive!
Overly-Sensitive Friends

I am such a sucker for romantic comedies. I get all into the lovey-dovey storylines and always end up sobbing at one part or another.
I happen to think they're great movies to see with a new guy since they let you get a sense of how sensitive and carefree he is.

Do You Think You're Emotionally Intelligent?
In some ways, this is a trick question, because if you're not emotionally intelligent — defined very broadly as someone "particularly good at establishing positive social relationships with others, and avoiding conflicts, fights, and other social altercations" — you might think you are anyway!
But October is Emotional Intelligence month, and it seemed a good time to remind people, as Emotional Intelligence author Daniel Goleman claims in his book subtitle, that "it can matter more than IQ." We've all known the brilliant boss or friend who had a horrible temper or little ability to empathize and couldn't figure out why, in the case of the boss, no one ever stuck around for long, or, in the case of the friend, people had to break up with them they were so toxic.
Are People With Sensitive Noses More Empathetic?
Are you cursed and blessed with a good sense of smell? Cursed because you smell every ungodly stink no matter how far away, and blessed because lovely smells affect you deeply?
Psychology professor Denise Chen at Rice University thinks you may also be more empathetic than your olfaction-challenged neighbor.
Are You Into Sensitive Men?
Pretty much every serious boyfriend I've ever had has been a hidden softie. You'd never know it from the outside, but they tended to be emotionally open when it counted.
Some guys are always emotionally open, though, and like to tell you how they're feeling — a lot.
