I Think Romance Is Overrated by Nobody: 10:17pm On Aug 01, 2012
I never really got the point behind the whole thing, I mean why can't two people be in a relationship and just be good friends without all the flowers giving and chocolate buying. :-/
Our forefathers and foremothers who were not exposed to these romantic ish from television and internet and other media still got along fine with each other. Infact their marriages lasted longer than what obtains these days.
The way I see it, all the hoopla about romance that we see foreigners displaying is what leads us to think that romance should be a crucial part of relationships. People can be friends and in love with each other without the attendant bouquet of flowers (what is somebody supposed to do with those flowers anyway?) and whatever else is considered romantic these days.

lol, I was just making an example I never said that was what it meant to me. I take it by your angry post and unnecessarily bolded font that the topic offends you. No vex, not everybody can like romance like you.

action.

sosoluv: If u can't afford flowers and chocolate its better u come out clean about it, no need to hide behind ur forefathers,,,back in your forefathers days men had to prove themselves worthy to a woman and they could only get approval from the father to be with his daughter, so if u don't follow those steps and expect it to come easy, don't expect a woman to hear 'I love you' and 'you are the only one for me' with no action.
grin I have cash for those things and please don't assume I started this thread to complain because am poor. @bold, by 'action' do you mean carrying out romantic acts?

You didn't answer my question.

Yes carrying out romantic acts....as u put it urself
So if a guy carries out romantic acts with you that means you will give him action?

sosoluv:
It means I will appreciate him more. If a man cries ove flowers and chocolate, I can wonder how worse it can get when he has to pay a child's fees if he can't do something as little as that
But sosoluv, the man is not crying over it naaa. He is just not romantic minded. It is possible for a guy to be a good and hardworking father without being romantic.

Do you live in Nigeria? It's unusual for Nigerians to be non-homophobic.

Re: I Think Romance Is Overrated by Avicenna: 12:49am On Aug 02, 2012
Yeah, it is overrated jooor.
I'm not very romantic. I lose interest rather easily. So, the burning emotion of a few weeks ago just fizzle out like that.....
Can't say how many GFs that didn't last a month.
I think if the burden of romance was avoided, my relationships would last longer.

BTW, by romance, I minus intimacy ooooo. Se.x is se.x ,
If that's not gonna be involved. I will waka fast. Alfa or no Alfa.

You are no longer an alfa, stop kidding yourself.
@bold, na wa o. How your marriage go be now?
Re: I Think Romance Is Overrated by Avicenna: 5:03am On Aug 02, 2012
^ I'm not Alfa to you naa.

Maybe I will meet some girl I can love forever(she no get choice but to love me back). Its possible. Atleast judging by my Parents.

The trick is to get somebody you have a lot in common with. The love usually lasts for couples that have a lot in common.

Romance being overrated, old style, new style, chocolate & flowers? What are u tryin to say? There are different ways of making one understand the nature/level of likeness you have for the other person (with or without gifts) the idea is to be appreciated in return by the person as being expressed, so i don't think our ourfathers/mothers and the future will have a synchronized life style....there will definately be changes.
Re: I Think Romance Is Overrated by Ranoscky(m): 8:27am On Aug 02, 2012
