Posted: 2/15/2006 6:39:17 AM | But you know, 6d. There is a certain bashing we-they quality to your thread here. It breeds either defensiveness or aggression. Instead of taking the hard, judgemental line that women are just selfish and want to be spoiled without returning the favour (whether it's true or false), you could have offered something more constructive like ... 'Do men and women have different romantic needs? How can they ever make each other happy and see eye to eye?'
In my mind men and women often have completely different needs in a romantic relationship. It actually would have been interesting to me to hear what it is men's romantic/emotional needs are. Or whether in fact they have any. And what women's romantic/emotional needs are. And whether or not they have any. And how the twain could meet.
I bet there's a few women here who would love to hear a variety men tell them what it is they want from them romantically/emotionally in a relationship.
EDIT: I've decided I want to know so much that I'm going to start a new thread with this above topic. Crossed wires credit to JJAARR. | |

Posted: 2/16/2006 5:12:11 AM | | Unfortunately men and women are filled with erroneous preconceived notions about each other that damage our ability to accept and learn about how we really are in relation to the opposite sex. One thing you hear all the time from women is “Men are such jerks!” No need to go into what men say about women, but given all the commercials on TV about “feminine products” and the way some women act, most men are convinced that it is always “that time of the month”. I suppose the easiest way to demonstrate my point is to compare us to an automobile. We start out with a basic chassis and many components that are the same, but then the options are added. Different power trains, stereos, custom wheels and paint. By the time we roll off the assembly line, we are completely different and unique in our own way. Guy “A” might screw you over in a heartbeat, while guy “B” will bring you a long stemmed rose for no reason and remain faithful for as many years as you will have him. Gal “A” may appreciate this romantic slant and reward it with like behavior, while gal “B” says "Yawn, boring!" and starts an affair with Coco the pool boy to add spice to her life. You will never know till you go for a test drive, but most of us have turned into cowards about such things. Just because one car had a blowout and careened into the oncoming traffic doesn’t mean that “hot” little sports car you have your eye on will do the same. So…this is my long winded way of saying while men and women have basic differences, we all are at the same time different from each other, but that shouldn’t stop us from trying to get together. It could be a pleasant drive in the country or a terrifying run down the hill with faulty brakes, but we will never know if we just give up because we don’t understand each other. We all want Lincolns, but a basic sedan is much more practical. | |

Posted: 2/16/2006 11:01:59 AM | So, I think a summation of the entire discussion is in order here:
READY?
......
Here it is!
....
Girls are Weird!
There! Doesn't it feel better to have the whole thing resolved?
No applause please ... just throw money. | |

Posted: 2/16/2006 10:58:26 PM | The more threads I read, the more I am convinced that many of you will never ever be able to meet someone. Too many generalizations fly around this forum, thus outting many as idiots unworthy of a date.
I'm certain other forums are quite the same. | |

Posted: 2/17/2006 1:23:05 AM | hi im back,
i would have loved to be on the recieving end of your little romantic gestures! i have listed earlier in this thread what my idea of romance is but that is still categorising it and i dont think that is necessarily a good thing because i think its a difficult thing to caegorise. romance for me is a fluid thing that is not necessarily tangible i think its not so much a verb as a noun....if that makes any sense.....lol | |

Posted: 2/17/2006 1:26:15 AM | | lux, although i dont like you calling people idiots i do agree with you about the generalisations. i have said that it is probably wrong to generalise but this is the sort of thread that could forgive a few generalisations, the amount of discussion generated from my initial post demonstrates that. so stop being judgemental and try to offer a useful critique... | |
|
| men are from mars......
Posted: 2/17/2006 9:00:13 AM | I guess judgemental in this case simply means, "go along with me or else I'll tell you what to do and say". Sorry, I'm not changing my valid opinion to suit your needs.
My useful criticism stands.. if less complaining, whining and generalizing were done around here, most of the POF would not have much trouble getting dates. | |

Posted: 2/17/2006 1:00:00 PM | HEY MUFFY!!!!!
You may have been embarassed...but don`t you think deep down inside the others guys were jealous becuase you were getting some attention and they were`nt? Wont that explain the teasing????? Isn`t that why people tease? because Of their own insecurities.
Besides I am sure some guy some where will appreicate my romantic goofy side.
I agree hun. If Muffy would have been embrassed of my kind of romance then what is his idea of romance???? At least I made an effort to keep things alive and spicy. WE all have different veiws and likes and dislikes.
Lets here them GUYS!!!! Com on Speak up!!!!!!!!!
Hey 6D
Is Muffy really being abusive or is that a little jealousy I detect????
No Matter What little gestures I come up with to make a man smile, or to spice his day up, or to even make him know that I was thinking of him, he should embrace that fact that I have done all of it for him. When you are constantly rejected...do you honestly think your realtionship will last? Being romantic means many different things. It doesnt necessarily, or automatically mean a romantic dinner, or dancing under the stars(although that is nice). Why do we have to stick to tradition. Why not explore romance.
Most things and humans are complicated, why not think about the little things, arent they the ones that really count in the end????
But to all the Neanderthals(including my ex) of this world, you continue to be boorish and insensitive. I wonder how far your contemptible behavior will get you with love. Being that you are crude and slow witted , I am guessing not to far!!!! (a) you didn't read my post fully and jumped to conclusions (b) it was your hubby's embarrassment i was referring to (c) it was your attempts at romance that was the basis of my point.
If a guy can't tell when his lover is being romantic, and respond in kind, then my comment about him having his head up his own a*** is very much germaine. If you find that abusive and somehow betraying jealousy or embarrassment or whatever you feel like flaming someone for just because you can't be bothered to make an effort to understand their point, then i suppose i can only conclude you merely posted that list of ignored romantic overtures as 'bragging'...especially when you pout and claim i'm less than you for not posting MY brag sheet.
maybe you should go back and read my post you so blatantly misread. Welcome to planet earth. | |

Posted: 2/17/2006 2:34:31 PM | I dated a girl once that did wonderfully romantic things for me all the time. At the time I was stupid enough to think that was normal !
My current girlfriend has killed whatever romance I once felt. Her constant comments about other men and women (good God ... if I have to hear her go on about one more damn male figure skater ....  ), talking about exes, telling me I was her third best lay, etc ... has brought me down to earth and killed my romantic inclinations.
I think part of it is generational. The young people in each generation just keep getting more and more pragmatic and cynical. Honestly, I just don't think romance is very prevalent these days among those under 25. | |

Posted: 2/18/2006 5:23:20 AM | louispointe: For the record what you're describing in your current relationship is not just unromantic, I'd say it was denigrating. You can love and care for someone and not be overly demonstrative, but someone who quite literally makes you feel second (or third) rate is simply crushing your ego. Maybe this is her way of making you feel grateful she's with you. Constantly reminding you that she could do better. I'd suggest that you are the one who could do better. Sorry.
Agree that it's likely that romance is becoming outdated. I think that quick and easy sex is taking the place of romance. | |

Posted: 2/18/2006 7:13:22 AM | Buddy the part your missing is chemistry......without that to
ignite, don't care what you do it dosen't work outside of manipulation.
All the money and window dressing will never change that fact.
Many rich, powerful people live there life in convenience and one day
click they meet someone and the train derails for love. Best example:
Brad Pit......he had it all and guess what click he met chemistry.
Without that key don't care who you are and what kinda card you lay down
you are going to fail. You can not invent it, you can't will it. It is the mystery
of generations of study but the fact still remains the same. Good luck in the pond. | |
