Post subject:  a discussion on romance

hey everyone,

prior to acquiring any PUA knowledge, i was a relatively romantic guy & i'd still like to keep that as part of my game & identity in general. however, my ideas of romance have changed throughout the years. therefore, i'd like to foster a discussion on the topic of romance & get your opinions/feedback/insight.

here are some questions:
i) what is your definition of romance?
ii) what do the women you meet/date consider romantic?
iii) do you use it as part of your pick-up or game?
iv) if so, @ what stage do you use/show romance?
v) is romance a sign of weakness?
vi) does being romantic make you lose your strong frame?
vii) does being romantic make you a "nice guy" (in a bad way)?
viii) what is your overall take on romance?

I think romance is the part of the relationship that the girl most wants. It's what turns her on, whereas for guys, it's cheesy.

That being said, romance can be a very good tool for seducing women, as it directly turns them on. BUT! It also stimulates the "relationship" side of a woman's brain, so she may read into your actions too much on a sub-conscious level.

I would only use romance in the common use of the word for a LTR. With anyone else it would just be dangerous.

interesting. i agree that romance can/does stimulate the relationship side of a woman's brain, but i wouldn't completely associate it w/ LTR. is it not possible to be romantic or show romance w/ someone you're casually dating? perhaps as a way of rewarding her or keeping her interested, even if you've made it clear LTR is not what you want.

Sure. It just depends what you're referring to as romance, though. Can you elaborate on that?

idk why, but i keep thinking of romance as being an afc thing. to me, romantic gestures such as cooking a candlelight dinner, having a picnic, giving gifts w/ sentimental value (i'm not a big fan of elaborate/expensive gifts), etc. seem kind of afc? what do you think?

i) A feeling of excitement and mystery associated with love
ii) anything that makes her feel desired/special
iii) most certainly
iv) the more romantic you are the quicker you will get into her pants. that being said I will wait until she is invested before being "romantic"
v) no
vi) no
vii) no
viii) to me a successful male lover must be romantic. if you are going to have sex with a girl, you are going to need to romanticize her. Its another word for seduce, but women dont wanna say "ohhh hes such a good seducer". . no, they wanna say "ohh hes so romantic"

Picnics? Awesome cheap date.
Sentimental gifts? Creates good connection.
Candlelight dinner? This I would save for an LTR, as it's cheesy otherwise.

"Romantic" by your definition of things, like a sentimental gift, are great ways to build connection, solidify your tie to a girl, and reward her for miscellaneous reasons.

But there's a line to be drawn between what's appropriate and what's inappropriate. There's no rule to point to, it's just sort of a in this situation, x is okay, but y isn't".

I think the AFC idea comes from AFCs using these techniques at inappropriate times to try and "trick" the girl's mind into turning her on. They will have a candlelight dinner on the first date, because they think that's what will get them into bed with the girl. Very AFC. But ignoring what a girl wants when it IS appropriate, well that's also very AFC.

@JuanAntonioB

well said man, well said.

@TheFreshPrince

i agree w/ having no rule to point to. perhaps it's just an intuition thing, where you have to gauge your relationship w/ the hb before you can start being romantic. i've always had great success these kinds of things & i just wanted to incorporate them in my game w/out them hindering it.

thanks guys, you really put some of these things into perspective.
