To us men,romance ismore about the thought and the activity that matters
. If something is given to us or an activity is planned around our likes then THAT is romantic to us. Something such as Rock Climbing! What can be more fun (or romantic) than spending several hours with your girl hoisted up on a rope trying to reach a summit? You get to show off your athleticism (or at least laugh when you fall from the rocks) and you get to see your girl do the same. Spending time together having fun (and getting a workout) can't get much better. To men, it's not so much of the mushiness of romance that gets us, but the willingness to partake in something within our world. With romance, women like to be pursued, but men simply like to be joined. We're simple. And to us, that's romantic.
