On this, I would have to agree, for the most part. Yes, males tend to be hardwired as described, but not all, by any means. I, for one, am into the touching, holding, cuddling, etc. Now, by no means am I the only one, nor are all men like me.
You sound like a very good partner :-)

We are raised to not discuss out feelings or minor pains. We aren't taught to be very affectionate or physical, except where it pertains directly to sex. We are taught to be the strong, silent types, instead.
I am glad you have partially gotten out of this potentially destructive pattern. Men die sooner for a reason.

On the other hand, some of us do overcome the nearsighted manner by which we are raised. It is possible, for us, as men, to be affectionate, as well. Admittedly, we're in the minority, and I know thqat statement will get me blasted by many men, but it is true, nontheless.
That you for putting a little reality in here.
