Do I Have To Be A Bitch For A Guy To Respect(and love) Me?

I'm strong and independent at work. But in matters of the heart, I'm soft and sensitive, and because of it, men treat me in ways that are less than respectful.

So are my girlfriends right? Will no guy ever come along who will love me for my sensitive self without taking advantage of me? Must I be a bitch in order for a man to respect and love me? —Truly Confused
