| is romance dead?
Posted: 7/2/2007 12:23:18 AM | | Im asking this question after receiving numerous emails from guys that seem to want to jump past the courtship and right into bed. Are the majority of women the same way? Or am I just unlucky? I have come across a few guys who still like to be romantic but they seem to me to be few and far between. | |

Romance is not dead you just have to weed the player out. | |

Men simply consider 'romance' as the cost of getting into bed. If you can get into bed for free, why not try?
It seems like a lot of women also tend to be that way these days, although they don't have to pay the same price to acheive it... I have had numerous guys tell me that women only want one thing from them on here, and it ain't mowing the lawn...
Don't settle for less than you really want. Make them pay the price | |

Posted: 7/2/2007 1:17:06 AM | ^^^^^^Ummmm Hello, do you really need to generalize men into this?
Not all men simply consider "romance" as the cost of getting into bed. What a crock!!!
I notice you same a lot of women but not the a lot of men..."just men".
WoW...thanks for giving us all a bad rap.  | |

...and if you read the whole post, you may have noticed that I also spoke up FOR the males who were complaining about the same thing with women...obviously THEY are ones that are not just looking to hop into bed.

P.S. A sense of humour is a wonderful thing. | |

Everyone has their own definition of romance.
Whether romance is dead or not it would depend on who you ask,
and your definition of romance.
I don't think romance is quite dead yet,
but I think it might be going into the death rattle. | |

Posted: 7/2/2007 2:59:21 AM | | Rather than hear you ask "Is Romance Dead" which to me sounds so negative and deflating to all humans, male or female alike, I myself would rather you posted on the positive. Perhaps you could say something like "I Love Romance" and then you could post the last romantic letter you, yourself, sent...Just as an example.... | |

Posted: 7/2/2007 3:27:05 AM | | Damien... Actually it was asked the way i wanted to ask the question..Also if asked the other way it goes against forum rules and could very well get my profile taken away. It was a thought I wanted feedback on case closed.. Now lets stay on track with the thread here. | |

OP - I don't think that romanace is dead - just sleeping and needs to be awoken. The good thing is, when we come across the men (and women) that have forgotten about it, we can weed them out quickly enough and move on. Somewhere out there is the right fellow (and lady) for each of us, we just have to be patient til we find each other.

Posted: 7/2/2007 9:00:28 AM | | We should probably get some definitions of what romance is...........nowadays???? After maybe 10 answers that are close to the same, I probably, maybe, will be able to answer if it is dead or not. Until then, I am assuming there is all types of romance of some sort bouncing around in people's heads. It's just getting it out of the dream world that seems to be a problem. | |

Posted: 7/2/2007 9:23:49 AM | i truly believe only you can make romance happen in your life..
there are men out there that get the same romantic feelings we do..
this reminds me of a song ...
I Believe In Love"
I made a promise to myself
Locked it away deep down inside
Told my heart we'd wait it out
Swore we'd never compromise
Oh I'd rather be alone
Like I am tonight
Than settle for the kind of love
That fades before the morning light
Silence stared me in the face
And I finally heard its voice
It seemed to softly say
That in love you have a choice
Today i got the answer
And there's a world of truth behind it
Love is out there waiting somewhere
You just have to go and find it
I believe in love, I believe in love
A love that's real, love that's strong
Love that lives on and on
Yes I believe in love
Yes I believe in love
best of luck OP

Not to change the topic, but Walts has a good point. What is romance? Someone recently said something to me about my being a romantic and I was honestly surprised, because I don't think of myself as a romantic in the traditional sense! If by romance, you mean "wining and dining" a girl, that leaves me cold......too easy to do (if you have a bit of coin in your pocket) and proves nothing. If by romance, you mean small thoughtful gestures, that show they have listened to you, then yes I am a romantic and I have been lucky enough to meet men, who are also! If a man is truly interested in getting to know you as a person, they will want to do this naturally. | |

Posted: 7/2/2007 6:34:57 PM | | I don't think it is dead.. Just that how someone can view it or exicute it might make it seem so at times.. No one is perfect so having a perfect view or dream ideal can hold you back on many levels.. Romance is just the tip of the iceberg. | |

Posted: 7/2/2007 9:06:25 PM | I'd have to agree that we need a definition of romance before I can answer your question. If you're looking for the 18th century definition of romance ala Emily Bronte, etc, then I have a feeling it is probably on it's last legs.
If you just mean respect for the individual, well that's quite alive and well. It just shows up in different ways these days I think. | |

Posted: 7/2/2007 11:08:53 PM | | In response to everyone if you look at the context of the questions I asked in the beginning I was basically referring to promiscuity; sorry if i spelled that wrong. I personally would not go against my beleifs and sleep with anyone, regardless of wheather they were a smooth talker or not but if i remember correctly not too long ago guys didnt message a girl saying she had nice t!ts pardon the language. Maybe its more of a manners thing but I also see it as a lack of romance. | |
