la2day.com— A recent Duke University study proves why women are less romantic than men!Believe me, this has happened to me...time for the guys to educate women and bring romance back...

"The outcome of the study highlighted the fact that men are far more romantic and will much sooner choose for a relationship over any career. Several factors may have influenced this outcome though, as all participants were students."Yeah this is dumb. Those results are so swayed. I mean, think about it. Of course they are more focused on their careers, THEY ARE IN COLLEGE! Plus this could be any university, all of the results would be different.
the romance equation is much like working in high tech.hold on..let me finish :)In software, no matter how talented or good you are at your job, you always need to work harder as there's so many other people working harder...for what...to serve the business man. Maybe get a promotion. Maybe get more stock options. So the investors laugh at making such skilled people work their bums off for a slice of the pie. A pie they get to divide at the end of the day.In relationships, women hold the position of investor. They sit back relax, and watch the men work to attain the prize. At the end, they get to choose who they wish to settle with.However, both equations change dramatically when you realize, they need you as much as you want them.So, if you're the kind of person who feels they have to prove themselves to a woman, chances are you're the same kind of very intelligent dimwit who feels they need to prove themselves to the company.Get over it and stop trying to romance woman. Be romantic, but don't romance.
lol! Its all part of his bedside manner it comes from years of pap smears and a breast exams. He could do a fund raiser: donate to RP and get a free exam, or c section or Vote for Ron Paul because he has seen more pussy than any other candidate!
Then after marrying her "provider" she will go out and screw the assh**e she was really attracted to in the first place. So both men and women are forced to (to some extent) pretend to be someone they are not during the courtship ritual and that's why we often marry people we do not really know, with disastrous results on down the line.
I think the difference might be that for women relationships are a means to an end, whereas for men, relationships are the end in themselves. Women get into relationships (long term ones) with the ultimate goal of having babies. Men get into relationships with the ultimate goal of having lots of sex. Women are less interested in romance because they are less interested in sex than men are. So the romance is ultimately up to the man because he's the one who wants the sex (the majority of the time). In fact, in my own relationships it's practically always been me who has instigated sex and not my partners (with the exception of rare drunken occasions).
It's not that you only have two choices when it comes to a relationship and your career.It is more like, if you choose your career over your relationship, then either you are very selfish or your relationship isn't that good. And vice versa.When you don't have to choose between your relationship and your career, you have a good job and your relationship is good.It's like what many men complain about, that they have to even to the extreme have to stop having hobbies because their wives don't like them. Well, then you're not in a good relationship. A good relationship is when both respects each other for who they are. And same goes for a job.
Anecdotally, I've noticed this for years. I've known many, many guys who've moved cross-country in order to please a girlfriend; but when the shoe's on the other foot, it seems almost impossible to find a woman who's done the same for her boyfriend. Hmm.Maybe men will stop treating women as "sex objects", when women stop treating men as "money objects (magic ATMs with legs) lmao"?
Both genders have to decide what is most important to them, career advancement at any cost or a relationship that is more than just sharing the bills. It comes down to finding a balance between career and relationships and sometimes that might mean sacrificing a career opportunity. It is unlikely that rejecting one opportunity is going to end your career, other opportunities will come up in the future.

Myth 1:Men Are Less Romantic Than Women.If either gender can be labeled romance junkies, it’s men. They often fall in love more easily and more quickly than women, who are apt to consider practical issues in choosing a mate.<a class="user" href="http://orangtuamurid.info/blog/what-women-dont-know-about-men/">http://orangtuamurid.info/blog/what-women-dont-kno ...</a>

I do not agree with this. Time has clearly stated that Women has that strong zeal of romance. Women have ingenuous romantic ideas to make that relationship achieving and flourishing. Love flows from the woman's heart rapidly. <a class="user" href="http://www.lovebegetswealth.com/wordpress/">http://www.lovebegetswealth.com/wordpress/</a>
