    Default Are Boys Romantic?

    I am always just TOO romantic myself, and sometimes I wonder if boys are romantic at all... What do you think? I guess girls are usually more romantic than boys...

    I think guys tend to have a different type of romanticism then women do. I see you as someone I'd take to a high school reunion. I have no clue what that means tho. Maybe guys have situational romanticism, I think women keep it in their hearts more (at least for the duration of a relationship) I think maybe I just like taking women out of their element

    Depends on the man entirely.
    ALL of the girls I've been with I've always been the more.. feminine and romantic of the two.

    I'd go with the situational romantic; when courting and then whenever they've done something wrong or for a big event such as an anniversary.

    Well all of you sound pretty romantic to me... I guess I just meet boys that are not romantic. With pretty boys, it's all about THEM...

    I think romance often comes out of appreciation.
    Pretty boys can get a replacement girl at any time,
    and are used to getting what they want. So they do
    not appreciate women in the same way. Someone
    who appreciates a woman's gifts will likely be
    more romantic and appreciative.

    i had a boyfriend who was way too romantic and way too sappy, it got really annoying at times.
    he had to make everything like it was out of a harliquin novel, even just sitting around watching tv, blah.

    Like I was saying, it all comes down to the fact that it does not matter if it is a guy or a girl, if they have been hot their whole lives, they will be used to the idea that they can get what they want, and if it does not work out, they can get someone new without too much trouble. It can be the same problem with girls, as you describe with guys. Girls can also be unappreciative of a guy's love, if they are used to getting love and attention all the time from people. They get used to people telling them all the time, that they love them, and they are great, and hot, and wonderful, etc. So they get jaded to it. They either expect it, or stop believing in it's sincerity. And it is not even the really hot people who have this problem. Almost anyone who is able to find new partners without too much trouble, can get this lazy attitude about love and relationships. Only ugly people and losers, or people who percieve themselves in that way, will be truly appreciative of someone. I often suggest to female friends of mine, that they should date geeky guys, or not as attractive guys, because they will probably give them the love they are looking for. But they always go for the hot guys, so they will always be stuck with guys who treat them like shit, until they can break the cycle, or get really lucky...

    I'm more like play-act romantic. I doubt I would qualify as a romantic in the way you mean.

    I used to be a full time romantic, and used to watch every detail, and even when i was 2 blocks from my home if somethign came up on my head i would do it no matter the consecuences... But... my heart was turned into pieces, and ever scince then i haven't been as romantic, i guess i haven't found someone that can turn on the romantic me again... just the one night stand one... and not as often as i'd want...

    I guess it is hard for anyone, boy or girl to feel romantic about someone you don't love. Some people just don't want to be in love. One boy said to me "I'm afraid of my own heart". It was sort of a joke, but maybe it was true....

    Hmm.

    This reminds me of a very popular book title: Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.

    In essence, Men are biologically less capable to atone to a woman's emotional needs whenever she wants. Of course, that does not excuse him from any obligation to make the SOS feel good. Women need closure on their feelings because women are very emotional people. However, psychologically, it could be more than just that. When a woman feels that a man is comfortable enough to share his innermost thoughts with her, then she feels as if she's more important to him. This is important for guys to understand, but it is also important for us ladies to comprehend the fact that guys, due to social standards, rarely allow their sentimental emotions to be shown. It's a matter of compromise between two people. If one is not willing to compromise, then it's in my unproffessional opinion that a real relationship is not tangible under those circumstances.

    Not all boys in bands are like that.... it really depends if they're pretty to start. Any of the boys in my band try that, they'll get seriously injured. Fuck the guitarist playing the next show, you just don't treat people like that!

    I'd punch you right back. Just to keep things equal you know? Though to be honest it's more of a common courtesy these days. I do it for men and women...just a habit. Seems rude to close a door in anothers face.

    Well I think it's great to have good manners, and common courtesy. So many of these yuppies on the upper west side are SO rude!!! I mean, there is this yuppie market called "Fairway", and the yuppies will just push and shove and walk right in front of you. And these are supposedly well educated rich people. I think they were part of an era that did not stress common courtesy and manners.

    I find that "goth" people in general have much better manners and are a bit more cultured and artistic than the average yuppie....

    Well I wouldn't close a door in someone's face. I guess it depends on what type of door you're opening. I would mainly get pissed off if a guy opened a car door for me, I guess I should have said that instead.
