Women are not romantic

[MadImmortalMan]

 

Okay, title is a troll.

But anyway, guys tend to be more susceptible to wild-eyed romanticism than girls. They have a hard-core pragmatism that we don't have. That's why you see dudes becoming all crazy with communism or libertarianism but girls don't. My mom only cares about her grandkids. I guess it's a good way to not get killed. God knows I've been close to death because I was an idealistic dumbass.

A year ago I spent several weeks learning to play a song on my guitar. Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits. It was for our fifteenth anniversary. She ended up going to visit her sister in Phoenix that week and I spent the anniversary alone. Someday I will play that song.

I am pretty romantic. I think idealistic might be my middle name.

I thought you meant this.

I'm a ridiculous romantic.

And a guy singing just to me? Oh hell yeah...

The theory of romance is much better than the practicality. If you tired to recreate half the stuff in romantic comedies you'd be seeing a judge re a restraining order, and rightfully so.

I sing "Babe" by Styx to Princesca sometimes.  For some odd reason she likes that.

My romantic idealism died in 1993.  Took the sawed-off barrel center mass at close range and never saw it coming.  Wasn't instant, wasn't quick and certainly wasn't painless, lingering on in a persistent vegetative state until it finally and mercifully faded away.
The assailant still walks the streets free.  No guilt, no remorse, accountable for nothing.

There is no place for romance and idealism in the war of all against all.  They are weaknesses to be exploited.  Women may realize this earlier and oftener than men.  Perhaps this explains why homosexual couples have more cohesion, as measured in millicunninghams.

We don't have the time for psychological romance.

I still want your drama and I want your revenge.

You might be an outlier.

If you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand

And if you should die, I may feel slightly sad but I won't cry.
