How can men compete with novels. Everything is perfect.  Life is not perfect.\n\nWomen need to learn this fact.  Life is messy.  It is built upon screw ups.  If your man tries that should count a whole lot.\n\nBut, if you don't tell him and u have an affair.  It is not his fault.  It is urs bc you didn't communicate.\n\nbest time - during foreplay.  LAck of oxygen in the brain seems to be the key!

Sometimes a girl like you needs to educate a boyfriend as to HOW you want him to be romantic.  We men sometimes just don't understand what women want.  If you are patient and understanding, he will become romantic.

Flowers, and many, and girls love it when men create a really romantic atmosphere.. like candles, rose pedals, quiet music and maybe home cooked dinner? :)

Men have been succeeding in relationships for centuries. The ones that don't get all the bad press.  When it does happen it is most likely because they have not had a good example of a long term lasting relationship to pattern them selves on. Why the good ones go unnoticed is a question too.\ntake care ~A~

Well-written novels examine the general questions that humans ponder.  Through reading them we can answer questions about ourselves and humanity in general.  Basically, it's to make you think and exercise your brain.  Don't be afraid of it.  Try to get something out of it and enjoy the books.

I would but my man is like he's not the romantic type. It doesn't interest him but I feel like if he really loved me it wouldn't be a problem for him. It's not like I'm asking to be spoiled or anything I just need more affection. I feel like asking him to be romantic is just asking for more affection shown in a more effortful way. But he thinks it's a weakness or something always trying to be hard.

Not in my experience.  They might be better at the romance part of the relationship but better lovers?  Don't think so.

Yeah, there ARE a lot more yaoi titles being released lately. You know why? Because there are a lot of girls out there who love to watch animes about cute anime gay boys. There's even: http://www.yaoi-manga.com/ \n\nI know for me being a general member of the teenage world, a lot of guys also seem to have some kind of facination with lesbians, so yaoi also works with the fan girls. The pretty boys must be even more appealing to female fans if they are gay. \n\nAlthough males who are gay would argue that they also like yaoi because of preference and it bothers them that people view yaoi as a mainly girls' genre of anime and manga.

because bad boys are excititing but more than that is has everytthing to do with how the women grew up and their famly dynamics, stable etc can be boring to a woman who has only know chaos growing up and they crave that stimulation as it is familiar.It has nothing to do with you and everything to do with their innerworld.There are healthy women out there, just look for red flags and trust your intution.

Wow.  Some of the comments.  Women are more passionate than men at everything???  No broad generalization there...  (chuckling)\n\nI think the answer has to do with subjection.  Even in today's modern American society, and especially in Christian society, women hold a role of "being in subjection" to husbands.  Many grow up and are taught this way.  It probably comes natural for some as well.  \n\nSo, then, many women are already used to the concept of being in subjection to something.  Men, for the most part, are not.  We're fiercely independent, aren't we?  And when it comes to Christianity...to calling Christ Lord and being in subjection to His will...that presents a larger problem for men.\n\nThat, I think, is why we see more females at Church.  Not because they're more spiritual, not because they're more passionate, but because they are blessed in having an easier time at being able to humble themselves to a higher authority.  For this, kudos to women.  \n\nSomebody once wrote that Hell's motto will be "I am mine."  Perhaps this applies.  The Bible tells wives to be subject to their husbands...but it also tells husbands to love their wives to the point of giving up their lives for them, as Christ did for the Church.  The unique thing is, when you love something that much...*you are in subjection to it*.

What is it with you youngins and wanting advice on how to begin adulthood?  Give yourself a chance to become a 'woman' first....crushes are sweet, but don't become obsessed with the idea of romance...it will never work at your age!  Sorry.

why is this question in love and romance?

Frankly because we know longer know the art of the English Language...most of us stumble about our day looking for the right words, but some have been lost to antiquity. \nAlso because we, and I mean both men and women, are visual creatures...I myself think my husband is very handsome...but there are some buns that are just HOT! lol, and my husband thinks I'm walking sex...but yet Jessica Alba looks pretty tastey too...it's just human nature for all of the homosapien species, not just our male counterparts.

I agree somewhat with Katrina, that men can be intimiated by independent and strong women.  But, as a guy, I would say "put off," not exactly intimidated.  For example, I recently dated a gal who I was very attracted to, although she wasn't stunning- she just "did it" for me.  But, she spent too much time telling me about her degrees from MIT, how she worked for Steve Jobs, etc..  Relationships are about humanness to me- life's little problems, emotionality, sensuality.  I talk shop all day at work, and want something deeper in a relationship.  It just got to a point where I didn't want to hold a conversation with her, since we just couldn't connect.  I guess the point is maybe revisit the guys you like with a deeply human approach, and see how that works.  I agree with the rest of the posters-  it's hard to meet someone you like.  It's true for me, too.  I live in the middle of nowhere.

Ah, romance! Have you ever wondered, how sweet it is to be loved by someone? I know these lines are from a certain Marvin Gaye song, but isn't this the reason why love is so much more beautiful? Some denounce romance as mush, yet everyone, at certain point in life, has been touched by it. To me, romance is the essence of love - the perfume that pervades through two people's souls. \n\nRomance is what differentiates the meaning of love for individuals.
