"The Last Romantic Woman I Met Was A Man"
Women in their heart of hearts believe that they’re the true romantics. The fact is that all men, on the average, are romantic, and women are not. Men are romantic, and women love to be romanced. In other words women were made to react emotionally to romance. Think about what happens between a man and woman during courtship, and some marriages:
Men will bring women flowers on a date, or special occassions. Women do not. To be fair, it would look kind of corny for a woman to bring a man flowers, accept at a hospital visit or funeral. What a custom. Society allows women to bring men flowers only if they put him in the hospital or the grave.
On birthdays, Valentine's Day, anniversaries etc. are some of the key days that men will pick a romantic restaurant, event, and surroundings to enhance the emotional feelings of the women they're with. Women cannot achieve these exact same feelings from the average man if they did the same thing.
Men will try their best to write a poem for their lady, even if they have to pay Hallmark to do it. The average woman will buy the card, but doesn't have a clue about romantic poetry writing.
The average man will keep a mental note of what their lady likes and dislike. Such as what is her favorite flower, color, animal. What does she like to eat, read. The places she likes to visit. The lists goes on and on. Through these mental notes he keeps a continual list of what to get her on special, or not so special occassions. Women can do this also, but it doesn't achieve the same emotional response. The man loves the gift she gives him. The woman appreciates the gift he gives her even more.
Women in general do not know how to buy a man a decent gift. It's as if they don't put any thought into their gift giving at all. I have seen women buy men (including myself) such lame gifts as ties, belts, scarfs, gloves... You know, things you already have, or doesn’t want or need. What is it with women giving clothes as gifts to men. Are we living "Ken Dolls?" We men, on the average, will at least put some thought into it.
I'm sure some women will swear up and down that their man is not romantic at all. He is especially not romantic as she is. Maybe your man isn't romantic now, but before you married him, or let him get the "milk for free" he was romantic as all get out. After that most dumb men figure, "Why bother? I've got the milk and the cow!"
What makes men romantically different from women? I believe it is because women carry their emotions on the outside, and we men carry our emotions on the inside. Women love to express themselves. They want you to see and hear what is going on emotionally inside of them. It doesn’t matter if the emotions are negative or positive. We men, on the other hand, do not. The typical man wants to keep it all bottled up inside until the pressure builds up inside him and he violently explodes all over his woman. Now she has to react emotionally against the man she loves by putting him in the hospital or the grave...and then bring him flowers.
