Survey…how Much Are Movies and Romance Novels Responsible for Unrealistic Expectations of Men?

Come on Sawman, we know you are the romance stud of Yahoo Answers, somebody on here gave your secret away, but there are some guys there is no hope for they have no clue what romance is! It has nothing to do with novels

Answer:

Oh not just men, Saw women as well. There is no such thing as the so called perfect relationship..as seen on tv and movies…Those movies make me sick,.I hate the B.S. A real relationship takes work, and 2 people will always have different views, as for romance it takes work as well. So funny in these so called love stories…where all is just nirvana…no one has money issues..no one is working their azz off…and stressed…they just have all the time in the world to bask in love…please…the world is a B! It takes work and more work, just to find time for any romance…hell what is romance Saw? Give me a good man….good sex…good food, and also space..and at times just peace and quiet…now that is enough…did I say sex??? LOL! The best form of relaxation…no wonder I am a stressed out mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But why does it have to be unrealistic? I know things don't happen just like the movies, but men these men don't want to put any effort. Guys think it takes so much but really, it doesn't. It just takes a little work to show that they care. I don't know why that is so painful to do…especially when women will put out for this stuff.

Sometimes I wonder if I would be better off with a woman. A woman who is like me of course: a romantic…an idealistic romantic. Maybe then I'd get what I want. But she'd have to have a penis. Ha…

Well …….. as February 14th draws nearer we will hear more and more
about those "expectations" ……. unrealistic and otherwise ….
the "otherwise" being the genuine article …. which, is often discounted by the
"unrealistic expectations" of the recipient …..

The times in my life that I have been accused of being "romantic" are the times that I put the desires of someone else before my own. That seems to me to be simple enough to do on a regular basis.

I hold them responsible, but I also think some of us are very gullible. Relationships and love are nothing like what we see/read. They set unfair and unrealistic expectations.

None, how many photos in playboy make for unrealistic expectations of womens bodies.

Maybe somewhat but those of us with brains know that it takes more than wine and roses to attract a woman's attention~ { hope I didn't offend any one }

They don't have to be unrealistic expectations.

I don’t think they create unrealistic expectations from men. Maybe from situations in life but not in men. I’ve never read (or at least never finished) a romance novel that has a leading man who is overly romantic or sappy, showering gifts and endearments onto the heroine. Most of the guys in mine are gruff men who don’t want to fall in love with anyone no matter how attracted they may be to her. They are mostly pervs (what man isn’t?) and they don’t always say or do the perfect thing (until the end of course). If romance novels create any unrealistic expectation it’s that we will know when a man really loves us. It’s easy when you can read his feelings like a book. Not so much when he’s a real person.
