The current definition is too vague. It must mean to treat women as
deserving preferred treatment or protection, or to treat a particular
woman affectionately. See

Editor: I agree that the current definition needs to be sharpened, but I don't think it's quite right to say that it indicates "having a soft spot" (a sentimental fondness) for a particular woman.
M ~ 香、玉,比喻青春美麗的女子。憐香惜玉比喻愛憐、善待女性。... 亦作「惜香憐玉」、「惜玉憐香」。

Some Web examples:
- 你们的身材会让有些男人顿生怜香惜玉之情,他们也许会保护你终生。
- 女主角李心潔現場抱怨連連,稱導演老公彭順和戲裡的老公劉青雲,毫不憐香惜玉,讓她很郁悶。
- 不是所有的男人都懂得怜香惜玉所以我们必须得强大起来
- 让男人怜香惜玉的女人:
第一种,长得优雅动人却又安静忧郁的女人。这种女人就有点像林黛玉,但又比林黛玉要强一点。
第二种,受了伤还假装坚强的女人。
第三种,神秘莫测却又脆弱的女人。
第四种,对别人很好而对自己很残酷的女人。
第五种,表面开心快乐而内心孤独寂寞的女人。
