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!!

This morning on the radio they were talking about how guys categorize females as far as looks go…they came up with Cute…Pretty…Sexy. Is that how you blog men view women or are there some other categories that Cute/Pretty/Sexy doesn’t cover?

Also I like that term “happy” as it relates to wearing color contacts.

I thought that was his natural hair color, but I could tell he was a Mrs. Man when I saw his pic…yep he “happy”

Slim, “beautiful” is missing. That covers “cute, pretty and sexy” “Fine”, is nice shape, but looks are lacking. “Good enough”, is how the woman looks after last call at the bar and you have stuck out all night.

Anthony Anderson is my bestest comedian/actor..dude is hilarious!
@Dirty?/ If that is dude’s natural hair color,it proly makes him look happy,tgether with his light skin self.
@Slim…??
Cute/Pretty/Sexy and beautiful!
thats how i wld categorize them….
Cute/Pretty/Sexxy for me, is on the nice and wangful type factor…Beautiful(5 star rating) is all that plus the wife in her factor

Anyway, there’s no protocol, it’s called sit down and have that “tough” conversation.
