Hi -
The first sentence is fine. You show a condition that might lead you to think one thing, but in fact something else happened. You would expect someone who is tired to stay home, but he didn't .
The second sentence is okay grammatically, but not logially. If was able to foresee what would happen, you would EXPECT him to act. It would make more sense as "Although capable of foreseein what would happen, he did nothing."
Likewise, "Although she was beautiful, men found her attractive." Instead, "Although she was rather plain, men found her attractive."
