| The word romance is associated with the notion of being vulnerable in men's minds. They are conditioned to perceive being romantic as being feminine or being a wimp. Even the meaning of the word romance is confusing to men in general. I took upon myself the task of asking the men I encountered in my daily life about their perception and definition of the word romance and discovered that there was no distinct consensus to the concept of romance among men. Some told me that having a quickie in the spur of the moment is romantic. Others perceive it as a word created by women to get back at men for all those years of oppression they went through at the hands of men. One individual contemplated for a moment and then he told me that romance signifies making women feeling good about themselves at the price of making men uncertain about their identities. I could believe my ears hearing an individual telling me, that he perceived romance as a group of lies men say to get the women into bed. One man came close to the point by perceiving romance as the attempt to court the lady in your life to entice her to be your wife or girlfriend. The final conclusion that I draw was men are ignorant about romance as they are about every aspect of a relationship. Being romantic to men means watching football all afternoon. Men feel that allowing the ladies in their life the pleasure of being their waitresses, are the ultimate romantic notion. Their women should make sure that you have enough snacks and drinks so the lazy bums wouldn't get up and go to the fridge himself fearing that he may miss few seconds of the game. Going hunting or playing ball with a group of misfits while the women supposedly waiting and keeping the castles in order for the kings to return from their extrusion, is considered romantic by some men. Cooking and cleaning after hard day at work while the bums sitting watching television without any consideration of offering to help, is seen in some distorted minds of men as being romantic. Spending thousands of dollars to buy bowling or golfing equipment while being absolutely stingy when it comes to buying a bouquet of flowers in a special occasion for the ladies in their lives, is conceived in some klutz of men as being romantic. Forgetting the ladies birthdays and anniversaries among other important occasions implies in the men zucchini brains as beings romantic. No wonder, women have the justified notion that men are not romantic. Next Page |
