The other day I walked by one of my co-workers as she was parusing an E-card site to send her fiance' a romantic card. Every guy reading this knows what I am about to write about. They know because they have all received frilly, fru-fru, gold leaf scripted novellas of their significant other's passionate epic tale where he has been unwittingly cast as the protagonist. Why do women do this? They do this because women think they have the market cornered on romance. Women are absolutely convinced that: flowers, pink, ribbon, poems, Barry White and kissy teddy bears equals romance. This is fine in the receiving department, but the problem begins when women confuse the receiving department with the shipping department.
Guys HATE girlly fru-fru romantic stuff (no, YOUR guy too). Girls think guys like girly fru-fru romantic stuff because guys often give it to girls. This is because guys understand being romantic better then women. Calm down, I will explain. Guys HATE fru-fru girly romantic stuff but their significant others LOVE it so guys bite the bullet and present it as best they can in order to make the girl in their life happy. Now THAT is romantic.
Women get what they like for romance and insist that either their significant other like it or they are not romantic. This is tough for the auto mechanic who ventured into Victoria Seceret for that terrible smelling purfume that his girl loves so much. If women really want to be romantic, they should follow their guy's lead and get them a gift that helps their guy enjoy their annoying hobby. Bothered by his time on the links? Get him quallity golf balls. Does he watch too much football? Try getting him a framed jersey of his favorite team.
It is all about making your significant other feel accepted and celebrated by you as the unique and whole package they (and you) are. And by the way . . . yes YOUR guy too!
