OF course not! I am a romance type of girl. BUT guys suck at it a lot of times so whats the sense in caring anhyway right! Whats your secret? Cause i need to get on the "down with romance" train

Not at all. I have a good friend who is blunt, to the point, very much the "I've-got-it-myself" woman who isn't the "hold me, Prince Charming" type. It's absolutly ok to hate mushy stuff, while its also ok to love the idea of being romanced. :)

not at all. i seriously doubt i'll ever get married, and i'm happy either way. and i'm awful at being a romantic girlfriend. i don't do dresses, i hate vday, i'm not big on PDA [public displays of affection] and and i don't do chick flix. but that doesn't go so far as to say that i hate men think they're scum and i don't know what it's like to have deep feelings for a guy. i just prefer not to put myself out there like that. and i'm happy =)

No, I am the same - I cannot stand any slushy stuff, don't do Valentines Day either. I quite like flowers but that's more to do with the way they look than anything else - quite happy to get them for myself. And the thought of a 'romantic meal' - oh god, get the gun and I'll shoot myself now. Many years ago I had this BF who was into all the slushy stuff and on Valentines Day I got home to find the most hideous bunch of red & silver, helium, love-hearted shaped balloons waiting for me in the bedroom, a 6ft card in the lounge with a bloody great teddybear on the front and some god awful poem inside. Needless, to say, the relationship was very brief.

No. Romance is pretty superficial in its social transition from books, stories and whatnot, becoming acceptable social guidelines and even convenience instead. The idea is all wrong, as it takes away everything we don't want about our partners and replaces it with fantasy stuff, and relationships wouldn't be enjoyed by so many if there weren't bad things too to actually enjoy in the end. Even tragic romance is false. Not saying it doesn't exist, but I don't think it's exactly how we dream or fantasize about, and it's easy to dismiss it as something almost ludicrous when you think about the real life elements and factors of a relationship, both good and bad. As for its entertainment presentation and values and what crowd it's supposed to be for, it's a matter of taste and I know that some things in society will dictate what the genders are more generally supposed to be attracted to and what is most supposed to appeal to them, but that's crap too. As not all women like romance, not all men enjoy cars. A lot of them probably fake it just to fit in. Anyways, I'd rather watch horror movies then romance ones.

According to society, yes. According to me, no.

Nothing is wrong with being yourself. We are all individuals with different needs and desires. And they change from time to time as well. Personally, I used to be that way as well, very independent and couldn't care less about Valentine's Day or getting men's attention. But for me, I found that it was my way of hiding and not letting people get close to me, especially men, because I insecure and didn't like myself very much. Once I realized that and got over it, a whole new life opened up for me. Nowadays, my favorite part of the day is cuddling with my husband and I loooooooove anything to do with romance and gushiness and it just makes me feel alive. Please don't think I am saying this is what I think is happening to you... I am just simply sharing my experience. Be who you are, and happiness will follow. Hugs!

No, but sociaty can't afford to let too many women fall to the dark side. We need you woman to keep the natural balance in order. And demand romance in the relationship. Ha Ha.
-
Of course not. What do you mean by "romance" anyway?
-
Not at all! You're being practical in love, by not caring about romance.
-
Not at all, my kind of woman... my wife complains that I'm not romantic enough...
-
Embrace that difference. I'm not a romantic myself. Too lazy to pull it off.
-
Yes, I demand that you go and inject estrogen into your body. STAT! Wait...No not really. In fact the less drama the better.
-
Nothing wrong at all, neither do I!

Helo SamanthaJones Romance is good if us blokes remember it, and sometimes we do just not as often as we SHOULD. I know that women remember romantic times and dates more than us blokes do so PLEASE forgive us... And maybe you will be "ROMANCED" more than you have before. And when we say we love you after our lack of remembering things we do mean we LOVE YOU.
