The womans instinct help her to choose the man who will be a better husband.
But I don't understand how a romantic man would be a better husband.
Let me explain...
Usually romanticism is associated with giving flowers. Now here I see a problem. The flower most often is cut and will die. So you are giving to the person you love an organism which is in pain and will die slowly. Most likely the flower would cry if it would resemble humans.
So why would a woman choose as husband the man who will kill flowers for her?

(As a side note. People seem to prefer real Christmas trees because are natural also many buy plastic trees already. However my instinct tells me that plastic flowers will never be seen on market soon)

’coze if she’ll marry him, she’d have to eat what he kills. And last I’ve heard, you can’t eat plastic, now can you?

There are many forms of romance, which brings us back nicely to chocolate, followed by tickets to a show, then there's the hotel, and the flights/train journey.. and of course the celebratory drink of... horlicks.. applause And one can always plant a tree and watch it grow as the love between you does... purple heart wink

Agree! Everything depends on place and relevance and timing.

Best romantic gift I ever got was an umbrella in a rainy day. I was standing at a bus stop when it started to rain, and a man asked me whether I’d mind him holding his umbrella over me. I didn’t mind, and it was sooooooooo romantic that it lasted for ages. 9 years actually. It turned out he was an alcoholic (who isn’t in Russia?), but that’s another story.

Thank you, but it all happened a long time ago, in another world and age…

As to the subject… yes, they make plastic flowers that you not always can tell from the real ones. And still women prefer the real… those strange cows creatures.laugh

The give flowers is an old custom – people brought flowers (and fruits, and small game) to Love goddesses in all times. Traces of flowers were found in Neanderthal graves – they didn’t only put the dead away, they tried to make some beautiful ceremony of the burial. Already then people had aesthetical needs to satisfy.

I think flowers are beautiful, and beauty is comforting and inspiring. But why the real flowers when we have got plastic nowadays? To remind us that everything will pass by, and we are better to appreciate the moment when it’s still possible.

I absolutely agree.

And romance isn´t always something that was bought and paid for. Putting effort into writing a great love letter or poem or song for your woman is a lot more romantic than a bouquet of red roses. I have kept every love letter I ever received (from different boyfriends, lovers...), stashed away in a box, because they are a cherished memory even after a relationship ends.

A man taking a chance and completely baring his heart to you is the most romantic thing of all. smitten

I was talking to a friend today about the most romantic thing that has ever happend.

To me it was when someone I knew by site in a local bar started to chat to me and a girl friend one evening. We talked about music for some time. At the end of the evening he said to me " I have tickets for Lucia di Lammermoor next week would you like to come " being an Opera lover, I was bowled over, I can tell you. After that, we dated for several months and saw many beautiful and wonderful Operas of that season. The friendship it fizzled out, sadly, we only had Opera in common. But the memory will always be with me.

My my, John!

You really went off at a tangent.

Romanticism is about the small things that count: things that show appreciation, which can be cherished and remembered for a long time. More often than not, romanticism cannot be bought for money. If anything, try making a small gift with your own hands and leave it with a small note where your partner can find it.

Romanticism is the exact opposite of taking someone fore granted.

As for plastic flowers, it's a No No.

Because we (some women and men) are romantic

You can kill a cow to have your meat but kiling some flowers, is so wrong? confused

Romance is much more than flowers.......

Romanticism is more a state of mind, of being, than it is actions, words, or gifts. It's what drives you to do all those little things for the one you cherish, which can be as simple as holding her hand. smitten

maybe men giving women flowers is akin to caveman times when men gave women sabre toothed tigers .. perhaps it shows this man is able to provide

from dancing dog <- sabre toothed tiger
to bouquet <-flower
in 10,000 years of human evolution

it is a bit strange because sabre toothed tigers served a purpose - as food - whereas flowers are totally pointless .. perhaps giving a woman a cabbage would be better dunno

Woman prefer romantic man because in her mind he is what she wants him to be. There was that story of the most romantic feeling was an umbrella at a busstop which lasted for 9 years and the romance turned out in the reality of an alcoholic.

The need of her to hold on to the romance has nothing to do with reality. In the real world romance has nothing to do with choclat and everything with respect and integrity, but the problem is woman don't want it to be true.

Romance is not about stuff and presents, it has all to do with the misconception of woman about how they would like a man to be and what he can do for her. Read it for yourself.

He has to be romantic, tall, enough money, no hangups from the past, trustworthy, sense of humor, walks on the beach, walks in the woods. If that is the secret to a perfect relationship and romance why is it so very quiet on the beach today; almost no one walking in the woods, here and there some lonely loser with a dog, but were is she, the lover of the romantic walks in the woods. It is all wisfull thinking on every aspect of the relationship and in 100% of the case those are the romantic souls who saw there previous one end in bitter tears and we have to make up for it with romance.

A few things about your words...

gjhmeij: Woman prefer romantic man because in her mind he is what she wants him to be. There was that story of the most romantic feeling was an umbrella at a busstop which lasted for 9 years and the romance turned out in the reality of an alcoholic.


People like romance as it shows they can display their feelings about the person they care for the most.. As for referring to Tule's situation, only she knows the whole situation and it does not necessarily mean the romance had died, but rather other issues arose which could only be put up with for so long..

gjhmeij: The need of her to hold on to the romance has nothing to do with reality. In the real world romance has nothing to do with choclat and everything with respect and integrity, but the problem is woman don't want it to be true.


I think you are 100% wrong here, and as has been shown here, romance takes various forms, from little gits, big gifts, and simple written words or even just eye contact.. it's all about showing how much you care for your significant other and with both parties making the same effort.. it bodes well for their future, though life throws in many hiccups along the way..

gjhmeij: Romance is not about stuff and presents, it has all to do with the misconception of woman about how they would like a man to be and what he can do for her. Read it for yourself.


But surely it must include what they can do for you as it is a partnership and by working together it makes it all the more special..

That is not the secret, but it is certainly a good beginning. As with anything in life, you only get out from what you put in... though sometimes if it is always one-sided, then it might be best for both to end it.. Also, why presume the person walking the dog is a loser?? There could be many explanations & in these days, many are working two jobs or more to make ends meet and having quality time with a loved one may not be as long as it used to be.. Finally, not all break-ups are bitter, for some they realise that its just not for them and they even remain friends.. All the best to you though.. cool

Agree with you completely. Thou shalt not shelter damsels in distress under your umbrella. Thou shalt throw a straight right at ‘em without any further ceremonies. Just to show what the real life is all about, Maggie.

As to the rest… I’m off to the nearest forest, though without a dog.

what happened to holding my hand, sitting on the beach watching the sun go down, a touch of my arm when you walk past.

I don't know but if I may speak for myself...

in my opinion being romantic has nothing to do with material things.
it's just a way a guy is telling me he is making the effort of doing something for me that's worth the world.
that he is looking after my well being with tiny gestures.

I admit to killing flowers, but haven't slayed any beasts for anyone.laugh Not sure what the OP meant by that, or what that has to do with romance, sounds more like a political statement than anything.uh oh

*sigh* Listen young grasshopper...It's not about romance persay...It's about respect. You give a woman respect and she will give it to you with the keys to her heart most likely. Isn't that what you want as well? Respect? Romance is great sure, honesty is great sure, trust is great sure...but you know what...Respect is everything...It is all of the above, it is everything you can give them and in the end, it's everything they can give you.
