- yomamaisfat, on 11/14/2007, -3/+38The most romantic thing a woman can do is get naked.
- oxygen911, on 11/14/2007, -5/+31I hear Ron Paul gives sensual foot massages to all the ladies on his staff every night.
- ravage86, on 11/14/2007, -1/+13Of course men are more romantic, women don't have to be. They can just say "lets have sex", and then they get it. Men, however, have to be "prove" themselves with romance. It's ***** *****.
- TheHydrogens, on 11/14/2007, -0/+12Or shut the hell up.
- Bodhinature, on 11/14/2007, -0/+10Dave Chappelle said it best: "Chivalry is dead. And women killed it."
- canadianehme, on 11/14/2007, -1/+11I don't think romance is just defined by choosing your relationship over your career. if only it were that easy.
- seandfeeney, on 11/14/2007, -0/+9Women want want want so they can't give romance
- jmpeagle, on 11/13/2007, -1/+9usually when you write a blog post about a study you at least name the author and the title so it is possible to look up and verify that you didn't just pull ***** out of your ass
- nhavar, on 11/14/2007, -0/+8While the study research methods and subjects are suspect, from purely anecdotal evidence I agree with the finding.
Maybe it's just a poor choice in women, but of the 20 or so relationships that I've had in my life and all of the women that I'm friends with, none of the women really do anything particularly romantic. While they expect romance and they talk about lack of romance they don't actually do anything except hint to the man in their life that they need more romance. Romance is left entirely up to the man. I've yet to come home to a candle lit dinner, I've only received an unbidden massage on a couple of occasions, I haven't been whisked away to some romantic retreat, and I can't for the life of me get my wife to write me a letter or a poem.
So women, a word of advice "you get what you give!" - latino, on 11/13/2007, -1/+8they're lesbians :)
- nestcrw, on 11/14/2007, -0/+7"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. - AriaStar, on 11/14/2007, -0/+7Women who choose their relationships first are considered to be too emotional and men seem to want the ones who are too busy with other things. The man-female equilibrium is so ***** out of whack right now. The gender lines are so blurred that no one knows what to do anymore, but a rally to return to traditional views would be seen as too right-wing by liberals and too anti-woman by feminists (this is coming from a female liberal).
Unfortunately relationships suffer and people end up hurt and jaded. - SuperOmegaSlack, on 11/14/2007, -0/+7ro-MAN-tic...
- knde, on 11/14/2007, -0/+6Depends on how one defines romance though.
For example I simply don't see the appeal in flowers, teddy bears, perfumes or some of the other stereotypical romantic gifts (or gestures). I appreciate meaningful gestures i.e. detailing my car without my knowledge, buying me my favourite ice-cream, fixing my computer, sending me porn he knows I'll like etc. Things that actually show that my partner KNOWS me.
A lot of what is considered romantic today is an easy cop-out that requires minimal thought or effort. That is hardly the trademark of romance. - JackBurden, on 11/13/2007, -2/+8A recent joint University of Louisiana at Monroe/Harvard University study proves using SCIENCE! that black is white and that I am the ultimate power in the universe.
Of course I can't cite anything or provide any backing for my outlandish and overstated claims, but hey, I have a website and I can say whatever I want.
Buried for pure stupidity. - canadianehme, on 11/14/2007, -1/+6That could go either way. Someone could choose to commit to a relationship instead of a promotion at work, for example, only to have the relationship sour and then the person would realize that the career advancement was actually more important than the failing relationship. Does that make that person more romantic, or just stupid?
- blaaguuu, on 11/14/2007, -0/+5I'm certainly much more romantic than any women that I have dated... But that is only because I win by default...
- leerayIG88, on 11/14/2007, -0/+5I see why women want a romantic man. They are too lazy to be romantic themselves, I knew it!
- TACV, on 11/13/2007, -0/+3Haha, yeah that's funny! I think it changes though dramatically when turning 30! Just look around.
- inactive, on 11/13/2007, -4/+7It's easier than that if you're already a woman. All you have to do is look like a really ugly man, act like a man but overdo it a bit, and have a vagina no man would want to touch. It's not required to be overweight but you'd fit in better if you were.
If you're a man, amend step one to include use of a razor blade. - JuStein, on 11/13/2007, -1/+4who else 1st read the url as 'laid 2 day' ?
- capiCrimm, on 11/13/2007, -1/+4interesting, so this supports the conclusions drawn from the Indiana study., which I can't cite. You sir, are a God.
- typicalusername, on 11/13/2007, -1/+4What do I have to do to become a lesbian then!? Is there some sort of fee or club I have to join?
- fallenone05, on 11/14/2007, -0/+3are...you...out..of..breath?
- nirav72, on 11/13/2007, -1/+4you forgot ..Swallow!!!
- scamper22, on 11/14/2007, -0/+3the 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. - lOvOl, on 11/14/2007, -0/+3Depends on how old the woman is and what her circumstances happen to be. If a woman has the baby rabies (anytime after age 30), finding a guy who will marry her will be her number one priority, so much so that they will pretty much do anything for a guy to get him to marry her. However, once the guy does marry her, well lets just say that her priorities in life change dramatically and the guy tends to be at the bottom of her priority list.
- live52, on 11/14/2007, -0/+2What's the difference between a bad job and a wife?
After two years a bad job still sucks. - tanto, on 11/14/2007, -0/+2Myth 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.

- fatjoe, on 11/14/2007, -1/+3girls.. just.. want.. sex & money
- hjdutch, on 11/14/2007, -1/+3romance is something arabs invented
they ruined perfectly normal first date sex! - lilrabbit129, on 11/14/2007, -0/+2Thats very true. I've noticed this also ( not personally though )
- DarkDx, on 11/13/2007, -0/+2I thought I was the only one.,..
- wishninja, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1lol! 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!
- b15fliptop, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1He don't be ticklin' or nothin'!
- live52, on 11/14/2007, -0/+1I beg to differ. Ever heard of testosterone and estrogen?
- thecatcantalk, on 11/18/2007, -0/+1Anecdotally, 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"? - turbovince, on 11/16/2007, -0/+1Well that was short.
- inactive, on 11/13/2007, -1/+2I see you have pale manzana, latino.
- pdsoul, on 11/13/2007, -1/+2true, but fundamental choices are often made on very selfish decisions which are later regretted and cause immense emotional regret for what they then realize was "actually" important...
- xenixninja, on 11/14/2007, -0/+1It'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. - spinninnzen, on 11/14/2007, -1/+2DUGG for being my kinda woman!! Article is dribble. Romance does not equate choosing career over romance. Just means more women have their head on straight knowing that love doesn't pay the bills. Get your career on track then you can focus on a healthy relationship. So remember not all the ladies likes flowers guys....some like the porn. That or you and my gf are some strange evolved species of women, shes the same way
- LargeTrout, on 11/14/2007, -0/+1He's just living up to his name.
- LargeTrout, on 11/14/2007, -0/+1I 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).
- fatjoe, on 11/15/2007, -0/+1no.. not.. just... yet :p
- fatjoe, on 11/14/2007, -1/+2girls.. just.. want.. sex & money
- live52, on 11/14/2007, -0/+1Then after marrying her "provider" she will go out and screw the ***** 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.
- live52, on 11/14/2007, -0/+1The question at the end has way too many uncontrolled variables. Experimental design corrections are needed. Should read something like: You are now making $30k per year but are offered $45k to do the same job with more advancement possibilities in another state and in a city approximately as interesting as your current city. You have been in a relationship for six months and have been living together for three. What would you do?
Off topic slightely: Research shows that in most industrialized countries married women fool around just as much--possibly more in some countries--as married men. - live52, on 11/14/2007, -0/+1Women tend to be cold and unsentimental about relationships, especially when a relationship is not paying off for them in some way. They can simply turn off the feeling like a faucet. So, yes, in my experience men are far more sentimental about broken relationships while women almost never are if they have "traded up."
