Romance Versus Idiocy
The Romantic
is a dying breed in our Universe, which is quite unfortunate for
women everywhere. Back in the day men would do what they could to woo
a lady, to make her smile and hopefully entice her to give him a
chance. As the generations have passed, most women have lowered their
standards and now it doesn’t take much for a man to get what he
wants from them. Sadly, only a handful of men out there actually
really care about love and a woman’s feelings; the other 99.9% of
men just want to get some ass and play it off as if they really have
feelings for the woman (which is normally just a false mask used to
fool the lady… unfortunately it works pretty much every single
time).
I can remember back when I was in high school; I
can’t remember if it was a family friend or one of my cousins’
friends (I can’t even put a face to them, I just remember their
words), but they said one of the most ignorant things that I’ve
ever heard. They were older, in their mid-20’s or so at the time,
and they were talking about Valentine’s Day and how stupid it was
to get gifts for a woman. They told me that most of the time a woman
has many men after her, and that simple flowers and candy (which he
said were also unoriginal and stupid gifts to get anyway) wouldn’t
be enough, forcing you to buy more and more stuff to even have a
shot. He joked that this would eventually lead you into the streets
(homeless) since you’d end up spending all of your money, looking
like a fool in the end. All I could do was shake my head in disgust
at his words, as I truly feel anybody with these views is a sleazy
piece of trash who has no respect for a woman’s heart/love… well,
really, he has no respect for women in general.
This
past Valentine’s Day, there was a gorgeous woman who I was really
feeling and I wanted to do something to make her smile, so I figured
I’d send her some flowers since most ladies appreciate them. I
decided that I didn’t want her to know that they were from me (I’m
shy), I just wanted her to feel good about herself and be the talk of
the office for a day (which I strongly felt was something that she
deserved), so I signed the card as anonymous and hoped that she would
enjoy them. Now, things happened and got to the point where I had to
tell her that they were from me (she was scared that her boss had
sent them since nobody else stepped forward), but in the end she
appreciated them and felt good; and that’s all I wanted from the
start, so it made me happy. You see, some guys are fortunate enough
to be spoiled and have Mommy and Daddy’s money to spend, so they
can bring their lady on trips and stuff; but how thoughtful are those
gifts?
I think getting a thoughtful gift is way better
than some expensive gift that had no real thought/love put into it,
just money and selfish intentions (meaning they were looking for sex
in the end). I had a girlfriend who said she wanted a pair of shoes
with wheels in them once, so randomly I bought her a pair, which made
her happy (and that’s all I cared about). I once bought her a
stuffed animal because she said she liked them (I got her a bunny to
remind her of me… it’s an inside joke, lol); on a hot day I was
going to pick her up from work and I remembered her favorite
ice-cream, so I bought her a cup of it, plus a rose, and surprised
her when she came out. You see, all I wanted to see was that look of
surprise and joy on her face, because that gave me the most
satisfaction; I had no desire to get anything else in return, just
her happiness. As far as the whole “going homeless” garbage, come
on! Just because I spend money on a woman doesn’t mean I’m going
to go broke; I know how much money I have and how much I can spend,
I’m not irresponsible. To me, that just sounds like someone being
annoyed over the fact that they didn’t think of sending a certain
gift first; or, better yet, it sounds like a person with no class who
has no true love for a woman and only sees her as a sex object
(though I’m sure he tells the woman otherwise… and most likely
she eats it up). Not to mention, I don’t always buy the gifts I
get, sometimes I make something, like a terribly drawn picture; the
thing is the woman realizes and appreciates the effort and
truthfulness put into such an act (well… hopefully), and that makes
her happy; thus making you happy (or so it should). The thing is, you
don’t even have to buy a gift, you can just be a gentleman and do
small things like open the door for her, remind her how beautiful she
is at every chance, carry her purse for her, give her your jacket or
sweater when she’s cold… heck, even if you’re not cold when
going out with her, but you know that she gets cold easily, bring
along a jacket or sweater knowing that she’ll probably end up
wanting/needing it; mere acts such as these go a long way and are not
only easy to do but are the right way to go about doing things…
treat the lady properly!
In conclusion, I hope that guys
can learn to use a little more class in the future. A woman is a
special being who deserves to be treated with a passionate
delicateness, with sex not always being the ultimate goal, but rather
the objective being to put a smile on her face, making her feel
special. Now, I feel the woman should also make the man feel unique
from time to time, it shouldn’t only be about the female; but sadly
none of this really happens anymore. So, I say (to all the men) go
out there and buy your girl a nice gift; send her flowers randomly or
draw her a picture every once in awhile; let her know that she’s
important and spectacular in your eyes as much as possible. To the
women, open your eyes and find a good man, not some jerk that is just
going to use you for sex. You need to gain a certain level of respect
for yourself and life will be much better and euphoric in the end;
and while you’re at it, when you do find that Romantic of your own,
let him know how remarkable he is to you every so often; things will
be wonderful if you do (for both parties), trust me.
