  • Quite commonly, men have been described to be “unromantic” or accused of “not putting in enough effort”. But perhaps men and women are just expressing and receiving love differently. In this episode of Men, Explain, let’s discuss what being romantic means in a modern relationship and how much media consumption has affected the way we perceive relationships.

    It's hilarious to read the comment section and see all the salty, immature boys trying to justify not putting effort into a relationship because "women will leave us anyway". Women leave you because of your negative "woe-is-me" energy sweetie. We don't want to be around men who have zero confidence. We are not signing up to be your mother. Go back to your own and stay single - saves the trouble for the rest of us.

    It's not hard to be romantic. For some people, it can be a cultural thing where they lack being able to be affectionate or romantic. Some people just lack experience or just do the bare minimum. People afraid of the girl leaving them have insecurities they need to address and shouldn't date.

    Yup, agree. I mentioned to my friends, my idea of a relationship is a 'working partnership with a dash of romance'. I was briefly mocked, to which i replied, 'you just haven't thought about it yet', something along that line.

    Romanticism shd be 2 way street, don't expect 1 party to do all the job... and people are not mind readers, communicate what u want to ur partner and be understanding

    Sometimes we do a lot also one day the girl will walk away.
    What I'm trying to say is that we cannot control a way a person thinks and feels. We can give a person the world, but up to what point they will be able to accept and reciprocate is subjective to that person.
    You can be extremely loyal, loving, romantic and go extreme lengths for a person, but if the person in question just can't find it in themselves to return your feelings, there's really nothing you can do if they eventually walk away. When that happens, you're going to regret doing the maximum and being romantic towards them because your efforts didn't last.

      There’s no regrets when you give your all.. stop self sabotaging. You get into a relationship to give. If the other person doesn’t appreciate it or reciprocate, and leave then it’s their loss not yours.
      They give you the gift of finding true happiness with someone who not only appreciates but also gives just as much back in return. Win win.

    34:25 about there, the point is, to be aware AND intentional around each other's thoughts and actions, then consciously appreciating those little things. That, is love. Many confuse it with the initial 'passion' and hormonal rush, that will give way to the everyday, ordinary moments. It's what you make of it.

    Why put effort and time into romance that will be unappreciated and undervalued by the other person? Just listen to both women saying they planned to be single but never did. Women just want to feel wanted and valued. They are the one that need validation the most. They don't care about connection all that stuff. Just give her attention and treat her, that's enough.
    Know why many girls cheats when their men are away and not by their side? Because attention and feeling wanted. Don't believe anything women say. They most often than not contradict their own self.

      If shes not getting attention, affection and gifts from her boyfriend or spouse, she obviously will try to get it from someone else in the end blame still fall on the guy for not doing better. Maybe relationships was just built on material. He was made to be a trophy boyfriend because he has to for her to progress in the social circle among her girlfriends. Maybe the MGTOW(man go their own way/seperate ways) group was right all along.
      Why would a guy live on the competition with other men just to win her heart, seems awfully stressful even with dating apps and social media she can easily replace you if she wants.
      I mean if you are single you dont have to worry so much what your partner and spouse thinks and what she appreciates, and u can save money which can be put to better use for yourself, parents or your self-improvement (enrichment courses)
