Why is what a man thinks is romantic is totally different than what a woman thinks? (date, women)

[beckycat]

For men, why does being romantic always have to involve sex?

To me, a romantic date would be a walk through a park or small town, a horse drawn carraige ride, time spent in a hot tub with candles around it, and just holding hands and cuddling.

Why can't men understand this and not think it's just corny?

Maybe you date boys instead of men ? Most well adjusted men know how important these things are to women. They enjoy the walks, etc.

Men know the biggest sex organ on a woman is her brain. Any man who will romance a womans brain will have all kinds of good side benefits.

Boys don't know these things.

There's a book that has been written about this subject...It's called women are from Venus and men are from Mars!

Yeah, I know. I was thinking about reading it.

Actually, my DH is not a boy, but a man. He just doesn't get it. I even try to tell him, but he says I just don't do those things.

I just ask my husband what he thinks when I suggest romance...

He says..."being all lovey dovey and buttering up the SO, so he can get to the sex.

Thats HIS exact words.

My idea of romance is taking a hot bubble bath together, with candles, or fixing a nice meal, eating together, with a little soft music, cuddling up on the couch, etc.

My man DOES understand that. It depends on the guy - you can't generalize like that.

I agree, I don't like to generalize. This is how I feel.

I don't think being romantic needs sex involved also. Actually I prefere to seperate the two. Sometimes just a good passionate kissing session being touchy feely then just snuggling is what the doctor ordered, although what I just said I don't consider sex ,you may.


Walking and holding hands yeah sounds good. Relax in a tub? sounds good also however that might me want more just because...
