Are you romantic?
Time to get some issues out there folks. from what I have been hearing, romance is dead.
People just don't take the time to turn on the charm anymore. I have been brought up to treat a woman right with total respect in every way. But I do admit that some times this can be very taxing. If I am having a bad day or a heavy work load, I just don't feel like spending my evening stoking the fire all evening, but yet I have been taught by my culture that if i want to get a little action that night then stoke the fires all evening is what I must do.
So I watch football instead and forget about the one thing that would probably help me sleep soundly.
Todays busy life style and high stress, hypersensitive attitudes have brought us to a romance free relationships. Everything must come easy. Everything happen now. Hell we can't wait for anything anymore.
From the first up the stairs to the first on the bus our life's have taught us that if you ain't number one you ain't shit. We have all become me first to the extreme and we don't even know it. I can remember working hard everyday and still having time when I got home to stoke the fires of romance before a very peaceful sleep. I foot massage, a candle light dinner at home, a quite walk in the park, all these things that have gone by the way side in our busy lives.
Today romance is symbolized by how much money we can spend on our lovers not what we can do for them. All this I want... I want.... I want... just makes me want to watch football.
But wait I am not saying it id the ladies fault at all. They need to feel like we are trying at least anyway, so because we no longer have the energy to massage their feet when they get home from a long days work. We have just finished an equally long day. So we watch football. (Note football is a metaphor).
We can't stop the romance guys. We must stoke the fires. Bring back romance I say. Reincarnate it into something that includes love.
So after reading my story what do you think? Is romance dead? Has it been dead to long or can we revive it to make the world a better place?

I expect equality. I expect that both people should do the work not just one. We are both tried. But I am always theone that does the work of romance. I want to be romance too.

Romance died, my friend... Now it is all about work, time management and showing off...

Heh...talk about showing off....That is so true! Somehow it still seems to be more money-minded (at least on the surface) in China - and Asia in general - than other parts of the world. The sheer amount of TV commercials, where a girl is sulking and turning down the guy in one bit and is happily running back to him after he offers her some expensive gift, is astounding. It always makes me smile when I see those on TV. Back home you do have similar TV ads, but not as many as here.
Romance is indeed about how much money one can spend on their lover (usually a man on a woman). That is quite sad but that is the reality. Exceptions exist, of course, but they are far and few between.

This to me seems like a big problem. Where has the love gone in a relationship. I remember one guy at SZS started an form about money can buy love and he got slagged big time for his comments. I do not believe that money can buy love but the culture here is substituting money for love so what hope do we have for romance.
I go back to my original topic Romance is dead.
