What is to be romantic? The tantrum homeopathic

Before moving to the next paragraph, make a simple experiment: elect five people around them and ask them what they consider, a priori, more romantic, including dinner in the garden with aromatic candles under the stars and moonlight, and a pair of greasy BigMac's the nearest McDonald's with the reconstituted powdered Coke, hopefully, with tap water of questionable potability. What sounds most romantic priori as a gift: a box of chocolates for good with a red bow-shaped heart, or a miniature collector vehicle AT-AT Star Wars and a box of condoms to put "I Will Not Be your father" ? Can write the answer and / or the results of the experiment in the comments.

predict that, statistically, people will look more romantic chocolates and flowers and figurines geeks and junk food. And this is because it is what we breathe, what we see in movies, both current romantic comedies and in such other period set in past centuries in which leaves a very handsome French nobleman who woos the lady treated to gifts, bowing to all the living Christ and reciting poems beautiful and deep blush to caste concubine. How romantic, right? But times have changed, and gestures that were once a symbol of love now seem a pretentious, that is ridiculous in the eyes of the majority, which is the one imposed in each historical period the concept of normality. A fun read with humor about romance understood in terms of sentimentality found in this old post satirical entitled "How be romantic " of The world is crazy.

But not everyone understands the concept of romance as in the previous paragraph, and there are those who consider it a quality of love itself proposing a personalized romance based on the tastes and needs, of each person. Being romantic, from this other point of view, is to know the preferences and needs and satisfy your partner. No more. Personally, I resist a little, not to know and meet the needs of a person, but to consider that is to be romantic because it raises some incosistencias derived from the identification of love with romance as if they were synonymous or had to give necessarily a causal relationship between them:

1) So almost everyone is romantic but not like, because if the only prerequisite to be considered romantic interest is to know the tastes and needs of a person and be willing to cover, only then would it not be romantic abusers and freeloaders.

2) That person may prefer to MacDonald's for dinner in the garden and the chocolate figurines geeks, and that is not typically considered a romantic activity, or does not sound very romantic ... To be romantic is to give flowers? What if the flowers do not like and prefer marzipan? Do marzipan is less romantic than flowers? Why Paris has to be the city of love? Why to be considered romantic in Venice is to take a gondola ride with your partner? Why play Parcheesi can not be romantic?

3) So do not be romantic is not a quality on the idiosyncrasies of people and a personality trait that may or may not, but an absolute disgrace. A person who does not love to be romantic to your partner, because it would be romantic, in these terms, your partner do not mind. And it does not accept it. Something is wrong with that definition.

does not seem reasonable to consider that romance is an expression of affection to dry, that is love, not romance. I believe that romance is more a matter of "style", a more or less specific among the many possible and also to varying degrees. Take good care of a person and not worry about it being romantic, it's just love her (which is a lot). Surely all people who want to know your partner well, who care about her, who care, and yet, by his nature, never say of them that are romantic, romantic simply because it is an adjective not applies to everyone and that says nothing about whether much or little they want their loved ones.

What do you think?
