Are sensitive men well received by women?

Are you kidding me?
Israel is a direct offshoot of western, in particular european, culture and most of its founders came from the west and bringing western values.
The country (and about half+ of its community) barey been here for 70 years (regardless of their ancient ancestors), unlike their neighbors who had been there for countless of generations.

like many things, it's all about balance.

I think sensitivity is probably fine, so long as you don't let your partner hurt you too easily. No one, man or woman, wants to have to walk on eggshells all the time. Everyone has a crappy morning and lashes out sometimes, and if that's going to require years of psychoanalysis to fix, it's probably better for the too-sensitive person not to be in an intimate relationship.

Try to find a balance between feeling what you feel and letting it turn into an obsessive thought. Breathing helps, and sometimes it helps to ask the person to repeat themselves if you think they said something really awful; it might have been a misunderstanding.

Israelis are significantly more upfront and abrupt than most western cultures, and probably most cultures in the world, and they are often perceived as rude because of this. They are what we would call in the US "No bull people" meaning they don't put up with things that waste time or serve no purpose. Given their culture, I think Israeli women would be significantly less likely to put up with men with confidence or anxiety issues than American women, though I think prohibitive confidence or anxiety issues would be problematic for men worldwide.

The rudeness part is quite a common (and unfair) stereotype of Jews .

Being too upfront is more a Western stereotype thing btw, not Eastern. Eastern cultures (North Africa+ MEA + Asia) are typically more known to be "saving face" cultures (radical muslims aside) and people won't say what's on their mind even if it's something annoying them as hell; for instance a typical Eastern host would never tell a guest to leave even if the latter has already inconsiderately stayed for hours and time being late; and if it's a breakfast/lunch/dinner time, they have to invite and share with the visitor even if the visit wasn't planned in prior and came in surprise.

By your logic all, Australia, NZ and South Africa's Whites aren't western cultures (of offshoot of Western world) but they are, historically and culturally, same for Israel except they're not Christians.

I'm a jew. I was speaking specifically about Israeli culture and how Israelis are sometimes perceived by Americans. I was not saying jews are perceived as rude. There is no unified jewish culture. Most jews are not Israeli, (for example, I'm, American, not Israeli), and not all Israelis are jews. To that end, it annoys me greatly that people perceive "jew" and "Israeli" as being synonyms of each other.



Israeli culture is distinctly Israeli.



As I said above, Israeli culture is distinctly Israeli. It has some elements of western culture, some elements of eastern culture, and some elements entirely it's own.
