I dont really think Im wise...just insightful. My moms a psychologist so I think it rubs off on me. Plus, I tend to take a lot of pride in educatating myself.
Intelligence is amazing...but Im still a long ways off.

Hey, well thanks! What do guys consider romantic? I know guys see things differently than women, but do they know what's romantic to women or not?
Im trying to keep the thread on the right subject.

Back on topic.... Romance is not that much work, when chemistry is involved. In other words.... No chemistry? and i believe is is just physical. Nice, but you will ALWAYS land up the "Boredom Train Station," trying to get on another train.
Romance can be:
* How you respond to the touch of another.
* Truly communicating how you feel about one another
* Being attentive AND sensitive to your partner's feelings (not just your own)
* Doing the little things, that may be silly, but can be endearing
* Always communicating
Romance IS:
* Chemistry is motion

Thats exactly what I say. Flowers, cards, little things that mean alot. Thats the man I hope to find, because I sure didnt get that from my ex. I've lived and learned the 22 years i was with him. Spontanuity, is great and keeps it fresh. Planning is great too, if you want it to be romantic with candles, etc.

Oh yes, without any doubt. That is precisely what chemistry and attraction is there for. There is time in life for planning and making careful decisions, but in some cases, jump in and go with your inner instincts!
I do and that's why I have travelled around the world..still need to find someone who is on my frequency!

Straight to the point, what does romance mean to a woman and what does it mean to a man. For men, romance is a means to an end and the end is almost always sex. For a woman, romance is the end and for us, it is difficult to separate sex and romance because they mean the same thing.
This does not imply that men don’t enjoy doing romantic things, setting up romantic scenarios and engineering romantic moments. Men are engineers by nature. They are the builder-uppers and tear’er-downers of our species. For a man, romance presents a challenge, a mountain to be climbed, a part that needs fixed and a race that is dangerous and threatening. Romance is an enemy that must be conquered.
But men should remember that all the flowers, candy, jewelry and candlelit dinners in the world won’t do a thing for your relationship if what your sweetheart really wants is new wallpaper in her bedroom. It is not true that there are unmarked graves of men everywhere who bit the dust after they bought their women a kitchen appliance for Valentine’s day. A new stove is not a bad gift, if given to the right woman at the right time. One more time guys.. know your woman. And like I always say, Women, it is up to you to make a roMANtic out of your man.
Romance is a state of being. It's about taking action on your feelings. It's a recognition that Love in the abstract has no real meaning at all.
Romance-love in action-is a daily, living, laughing and growing together.
Romance often starts as a 'state of mind' but it must move beyond mere thoughts and intentions and be communicated to your lover...through words, actions, gifts, gestures, or just a tender look.
That's my opinion and I am sticking to it

Romance...what is it? I will forget birthdays, most holidays, and other important days. Just the way I am, but I will find something that I think you would enjoy and will buy it or get it for you any other day of the week or month. Am I romance because I do those kind of things every day or am I more romance if I remembered the special days only?

Sin, out of curiousity...Do you practice what you preach on your soapboxes?
Because if you do, I don't understand why you are here my friend! You are very right on!
Chucky, I know we women are a PAIN...but at first you have to remember the romantic dates plus the extras you just fell like remembering...then communicate in the relationship and reach a compromise of which are important to both of you...maybe certain dates are not important to her but say no one ever made her feel special on her birthday so that is something that she needs each year and YOU need to be the one to remember it!!! Then you can just ad lib on other days as you want and you both are happy!
And Para...What's your "frequency"?????

I am looking for someone that is not a PAIN, but enjoyable. Someone that does not expect but accepts me for who I am. Someone that understands that I can be romance but not aways in the conventional way. I am not looking too perform for a woman. If she wants a performance, then the circus may make her happier.

But Chucky.....
Sometimes you need to do those things at first to really lay it on thick!!!
Some of us just need that extra coating of goop at first...believe me, after a little bit I'm ready for it to stop, but at first all the super mushy makes me feel super wanted and super spoiled...like all you can think about is ME...I think that is the most wonderful feeling in the world Chucky!!! After a little bit I'm quite happy if the guy cuts back to the unexpected gifts on non-dates, but remembers my BD, our anniversary, Valentines, and Christmas. (Did I leave any out? LOL) (I may be more High Maintenaince than you would like, but...)
Anyway thats just my opinion, for what it's worth... Dez
