Putting the man in ROMANTIC
Men won’t always publicly admit to wanting to be courted and romanced. They don’t have a published manifesto on how they want women to express their love. So when it comes to reciprocating the great dates that men take us on, ladies could always use a little help!
I’ve heard guys say something as simple as wearing his dress shirt is romantic to them. They don’t need grand gestures of romance! What else do men consider romantic?
How should a woman plan an evening for a man she really wants to make feel special?
Ladies, what is the best “manly” date you ever planned for someone you were dating? Guys, what is the best date you have ever had planned for you? What was the most romantic?
Happy Friday!!

Interesting topic; my first thought upon reading today was, “Is this a trick question?”
I pretty much co-sign with the tenor of the rest of the fellas in that showing simple gestures and unselfish acts of genuine care will win us over. Men are so attuned to trying to figure women out that when you ask us about us that it sometimes throws us off (carnal pleasures aside).

@Diana – no problemo.
side question since we’re all getting male opinions today – male coworker of mine somehow just noticed that i have tattoos and tells me that men automatically think women are easy if they have tatts. true/untrue?

Tats do not mean easy/slut to me automatically, but the placement and what it is a tat of may.
Tat of a tongue on your hip or inner thigh, I think slut, Anything on our your breast or inbetween your breast, slut. Above your booty crack, it depends on what it is a tat of.

@Infamous – the sleeve sounds nice. whats the equivalent of sleeve for the leg, pants? dont know, been adding to my calf for a few years piece by piece. got some girly stuff (i like butterflies, and of course their Blue) the rest kind of all over the map. got some tribal, some celtic knotwork, egyptian, asian, got the pheonix and a griffin, little of everything.
@melo – just ewwww. ewwww, that left a bad tast in my mouth right there. tattoo dude should not be allowed in nether regions…..

whats up with the Dummies who tatt their necks/bodies with names of their boos..then they have to tatt erase the boo names when the relatiosnhip goes south??
to me,when u tatt urself on the neck, u resigned to working in the underground economy,self employement or some other irregular/unofficial hustle or some job which dont require /recognize much mental capacity or trail.

Flavor it sounds like you are into sterotypes instead of getting to know the real person. I guess if I believed plies and the rest of the hype I could post things I’ve heard about other races, but we all know that is ignorant–don’t we??

Any tattoo of any kind on a woman would inspire me to lose interest. I consider tattoos to be appropriate on sailors and bikers, and that’s about it. Piercings other than 1 in each ear, likewise.

I would find it hard to date a women who does not drink at all… I mean who wants to have someone drinking water while you get tipsy? and often times that becomes an issue, becase a lot of folks who don’t drink have a problem when you have more than 1 or 2 beers a week.
@EPO, you make a good point and the extremes you mentioned in your 1:06 post, DAMN!! Best thing to do is keep on looking until you find the right one.
@DD, school is going great. I am slowly adapting to the APA style of writing.
