Are Women or Men more Romantic?

Question

And why do you think that? Preferably use anecdotal evidence (to make it more fun!) Either from personal experience, or stories you've heard. Not just famous poets when most today dont even know how to formulate a Haiku let alone a classical piece of art.

To me , True Romantics are born from at least the selfless , thoughtful & considerate amongst us together with “loving” or “caring” for someone and therefore wanting to romance them to express their feelings and or support for them. The lavish gifts or the elaborate days planned without the others knowledge can be part of it but the best of don’t need or expect that. It can just as easily be the little sparkle in someone’s day to remind them of how you feel as it’s all to easy to get busy doing “life”

It’s not supposed to be loaded with sexual intent , although it certainly hurt 😜.

People tend to copy and imitate romance from others as well as media but the art of it in my opinion comes from being able to read the other to be emotionally perceptive and so I don’t beleive it’s within everyone’s charachter or personality to be good at romance

Additionally, I don’t see it as gender specific or the man’s role although some “men” may see it as a weakness to be romantic.

So to answer your question gender isn’t the differentiator here and woman shouldn’t expect to be romanced any more than they themselves romance.

Guys can be like little puppies , so if you want to be romanced , teach them by reward.

Really depends.

Women tend to think, feel, and be centered around things romance. Though that is considered to be ‘feminine’ in stereotypes. Rom coms, prince sweeping off a princess off her feet, TV dramas, etc.

Everyone has different ways of showing their love & admiration for their someone truly special in their eyes, a different love language for the individual and towards their lover. It is not masculine or feminine to have lovey dovey thoughts and want to show it, that is a human emotion that transcends gender in my opinion.

We should normalize human emotions and healthy ways to navigate it, therefore it won’t be looked at as a girly-thing. It is stupid to pretend that way.

In my experience, men tend to be more romantic because they are expected to be that. Not saying women aren't romantic at all, but take Valentines day for example, it's kind of left to guys to do something special for their partners. Now, not all guys are naturals at it and some just downright suck at it, but I think overall the expectations on guys in this department gives them the edge.

Women especially when they are working. I’ve dated both.

As a relationship coach, I've seen both sides bring the romance game strong, but in different ways. Men often bring the grand gestures — think surprise trips or creative dates, which are straight out of a rom-com. Meanwhile, women tend to show romance through heartfelt communication and small, meaningful gestures that melt hearts like a chocolate fondue. 😍

For me, being a romantic dance-off partner with my wife has been a delight. She steals my heart with sweet post-it notes hidden around the house. ❤️ I can't out-poetry her, but I try my best with breakfast in bed! Romantic vibes come in all forms, so cherish the little things!

This question depend on the man as well as the woman some people only value sex also some people want all the romantic things done for them but are useless as tits on a boar at returning them.

Some people are just not good at being romantic especially if they don’t have any romantic feelings for somebody having sexual feelings isn’t the same. It’s like empathy and sympathy…. A lot of times they go together BUT you can have one without the other.

DishLady · Answer

Women tend to WANT more Romance (read "drama") whereas they expect romantic gestures are expected of men as a show of their having a "softer"/tender side.

You'd think that the show of tenderness was designed to help the woman trust the man (and that's partially true), but it also inadvertently contributes to the sense that the man would generally be a good caretaker (husband, dad, etc.).

Shiprex · Answer

Men are more likely to be the first to say I love you in a relationship, more likely to be responsible for all the initial gestures toward the woman in a relationship, are expected to be the ones doing little things for their partner, take the initiative in many couple type activities BUT the reception of gestures can also be romantic by showing the appreciation in a positive and appealing way.

OneViewpoint · Answer

Men are far more romantic than women in general. LOL, women don't have a romantic impulse in their personalities. They demand romantic gestures from men as proof of their commitment but give nothing in return other than showing up to receive the man's romantic gesture. So women are consumers of what men create but almost never reciprocate those efforts. And men are supposed to be satisfied with that? That's a pretty low bar for a guy to accept!

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

I don't find poetry or haikus or love songs or flowers or being "classy" or 5 star restaurant looking dinner tables romantic because I simply don't like any of them.

I find acts of consideration, generosity, possessiveness, neediness, lust, and excitement to see me to be romantic when from a mentally relatable woman that I find physically attractive.

For me romance is interpersonal, not traditional.

Most men are clueless about romance. If you find one of the exceptions, you may have a keeper.

Men they get too into to that lovey-dovey crap and when they are rejected they burst into a rage when it doesn't work out.

Women just like to sport fuck and do there on thing. Even when some degenerate guy they will just fuck for the sake of it. They're more chill about it.

foxsquirrell · Answer

Men are more romantic in that they tend to do the pursuing, with all the little things that come with it. Women are not romantic they may like or look out for romantic things or gestures but they themselves are the ones who receive the romance not give it.

I think I am always romantic. Men really don't show it unless they really, really like you.

I think it's different for men and women.. Women like romance more.. They like to read about it and experience it.. But men are usually the ones to perform that romance.. I don't know if we could call it a competition..

RedThread · Answer

It depends on the individual. Some people desire a lot of romance and others don't need it quite so much. It's best to find someone who suits your style.

Gymrat01 · Answer

A lot of women expect the man to do a lot of work without any effort, like a person wondering why their weight loss plan isn’t working when they aren't following it.

I think women expect more romance and men tend to be more romantic out of necessity.
