What Happened to Romance? (how to, guys, Valentine's Day, family)

Romance is about courtship.

Courtship is the process of getting to know someone. For a man, it is about trying to win a woman's favor and show his true intentions.

Women today are lost. They jump into bed with a guy on the first date. They chase men and they battle over the who is supposed to pay for the bill.

And after they've completely emasculated a man, they start complaining that there is no courtship. Well, good luck, Ladies.

That's an easy battle to settle.
Regardless of their sex, the chaser pays the bill.
The one being chased eats free.

Yeah yeah...remember your words when it comes time for your own courtship.

I would half agree that women are lost...I think "aggressive" would be a better term for it. But who cares? We all aren't like that. You just have to hunt for that perfect person to court. Romance, courtship, and the ingredients to a marriage/relationship all don't appear at the snap of your fingers. You have to work at it. It's all worth it in the end.

I get plenty of romance from my husband...and I lavish him as well. You have to want the romance before bestowing it to someone...you know?

EXCELLENT POST CARROT JUICE!!! THANK YOU!


Its SAD but SO TRUE, WE as a society have completely EMASCULATED

MEN , and then we complain about it....

ROMANCE is about COURTSHIP, ITS the FUN of it ALL,

ROMANCE should be fun, exciting, beautiful, but if women act lost, and men

feel emasculated, then who is going to do the COURTING??

Everyone ends up confused, and NO romance.....

And why are some women always trying to prove something? Why do you

battle over who is going to pay the bill??

Instead of just trying to get to know this man, that is trying to get to know

you And wants to court you, to make you feel special

It does NOT have to be soooo HARD

LETS BRING ROMANCE BACK INTO OUR LIVES!!

Lets be nicer to one another

God bless women's lib.

I agree with carrot juice. Why is it that when men fool around with many women, they are studs while when women fool around with many men they are easy? It's very simple. Women have the keys to the car. And men want to drive a car 24 hours a day. If you are constantly handing the keys to different men after barely meeting them, why purchase when you could lease? The old adage that women always know when they are going to have sex is so true. Quit making it so obvious when, and I bet courtship will once again prevail.

THANK YOU FOR THIS POST JMX!


EXCELLENT POST!!

I agree with you, ROMANCE is there, you just have to look hard enough for

it! And I guess you must want it bad enough, to look for it in the RIGHT

person.

And you are right, if you seek the REAL thing, you will find IT!!

I just wish that our society would actually value it!

The ROMANCE & COURTSHIP of it ALL!

Thank You

Just find your way out of that crazy crowd and find the people who are also looking for the same things you are.

Remember this, ladies: The man you seek is also getting pushed aside by the women who want the jerks who push you aside. And after being pushed aside enough, he's not going to be too quick to show those romantic gestures you like. Show him that you're different, that you appreciate those romantic getstures and that you will do the same for him. If he's a good man, he'll see that in you and respond in kind.

So what happened to romance? It went into hiding in order to survive in a society that no longer values such things. It's there, but you have to find it.

Yes, LETS THANK THE WOMEN'S LIB MOVEMENT


FOR OUR LACK OF ROMANCE, COURTSHIP

WE DEFINITELY WON LOTS OF EQUALITY

Most men do not know if they should open up a Lady's door,

if they stand up as a sign of respect, of being a gentleman when out to

dinner, if they try to pay the dinner bill, they get their head chewed off

Again, we have done our BEST to EMASCULATE MEN, and then

we are upset because it is hard to find ROMANCE, COURTSHIP

So, this "Wonderful Women's Lib Movement, or the Feminist

movement" or whatever you want to call it , have done soo much

good, that our incredibly high divorce rate is proof of HOW EQUAL WE

ARE WOOHOOO!! For women's Lib,

For the Feminist Movement THERE IS YOUR ROMANCE!!!

If some of us are AWARE of this, I just hope that the next generation

turns things around, as hard as that might seem.....

THANK YOU MICHIGAS73 and CARROT JUICE for your posts

Well, some call this stupid BS, others call it conspiracy (call it as you wish), but I started firmly believing in it, particularly when you put 2 and 2 together considering other disturbing developments...

American Chronicle | Feminism and the Control of Womanhood

There's much more interesting stuff written on the roots and history of feminism, but I don't feel like digging it right now and frankly don't feel like discussing it much here. If you're interested, you don't have to look too far.
