My theory is this. Not only are men just as
romantic as women are but men may actually be even more romantic than women.
I was watching
the Bachelorette show on TV with my wife who likes and watches almost every season of those shows. I
asked her, who has the most drama, the men on the Bachelorette show or the
women on the Bachelor show? She replied that, "the men on the
Bachelorette show seem to have more drama than women because, we are not expecting men to
express strong feelings as much as women do." She added that,
"In general women more often than men express their emotions."
I have heard this before that women are
more emotional, more romantic, more loving, and more tender hearted and that they express
their feelings much more often than men do. On the other hand we men are viewed as being,
unimaginative and unable to express our feelings although sometimes, we might have a good heart. Suddenly, I was hit by an inspiration coming out of my great love
for music; so I asked her this question. "If men so rarely express their
feelings, then why is it that men write most of the love songs?" “You
know, you may have something there,” she said. What do you think? Below are two
links; the first being the lyrics to a love song called, ‘I’ll
have to say I love you in a song’, by Jim Croce and the second link is
for a list of the top100 love songs list which also shows the songwriters
names. This is not scientific but the lists that I have seen sure seem to back up
my hypothesis about men being even more romantic that women. Feel free to check out my earlier post entitled: The
Saint Valentine’s Day Reversal, for more on this topic.
