I hate it when I am inarticulate in Important Conversations, don't get my meaning across, and - worse - end up (probably) getting quite a different meaning across than what I'd meant.

Then come away from conversation frustrated with not having been able to make Person believe, not really, what a magnificent human being he is.

I think you may have misunderstood the type of Important Conversation. The fact that he happens to be a he-type is irrelevant in this case. Sometimes he doesn't see his own strength and beauty behind something small gone wrong (or even perceived wrong!), and that bothers me.

On a different note, that's some generalization about men you've written. We may not operate on the same assumptions.

I may. The irrelevance of being a he has been the most popular point of so many conversations recently, I think I should wear a button saying I'M NOT A SEXIST.
However, I tend to ascribe my own inability to see my own strength and beauty to the fact that I am too masculine. This is the only assumption I'm operating on in this case, and of course, it can be wrong.
