Like my profile?
I wrote it myself.
Like sweet things said to you?
I may have to get to know you a little better first.
Wrong way to go about things?

I think I understand what you are saying. Real couples take care of each other, take care of their families, do the best they can to improve each other's lives. That's the real deal.
Romance is the game. Women say in their profiles that they don't want players or games, but then add that they want romance. They not only want the game, they expect it and demand it.

I'm sure there are exceptions, but most men play the game because their partners want it. The "players" are the men who are really good at it. Women love the game while it is being played. Then when it's "game over" time, they feel they have been "played".

Romance IS often a game, but it needn't be. All of the wonderful and often little things we do for our beloved have so long been idealized as being romantic, but after all the words have been used up Love is Love is Love. Caring, nurturing, comforting, exciting, encouraging, supporting, sharing; all these and more are part and parcel of the very best relationships.
Call it romantic. Call it molasses in January. It's all Love and it's a beautiful thing.
Those who take it lightly and turn it into a mere game, preying on the most sacred secret wish of every human being...well, plenty of words have been used in these forums to describe them so I needn't bother repeating them.

All of these are part of the real deal.
A functional practical useful gift, for example, says "I want to improve the quality of your life", and that's what partners do for each other. That's the real deal.
Candlelight and flowers say, "Game".
Men who find they are good at the game quickly discover that they can get laid all day every day. They become players.

True Romance is not a game. And, Greystone - my poor dear, I think you are completely clueless when it comes to women.
However, there are such things as Erotic Games, which may include quasi-romance.
I've been "played" online many times and if I enjoyed the game, then why complain about it? If it brought some excitement into my life, then it's all good. I'll trade one day of disappointment for 3 weeks of stimulating feelings anytime.
Of course... I've been told that even though I may have the body of a woman - I have the mindset of a man at times. So, most women may not agree with me.
Don't get me wrong - I am looking for the real thing, but.... I don't want to die waiting for it - I want to live and feel and enjoy everything I can during the wait.

Yes it is and yes I am.

We all want different things and that's as it should be, as long as we are all honest with ourselves and each other.
The trick is in knowing what we want. Women who want the game should enjoy it while it lasts and not whine when it ends. Instead, they add a few lines to their profile about how much they hate games and players, then proceed to search for the next game and the next player.

 Greystone
Being romanced makes a woman feel beautiful, alive, appreciated, special, loved, wanted and a whole list of other wonderful feelings.
Too bad you think women don't deserve to experience those feelings. That doesn't make you a very appealing prospect.
Or, maybe... you just don't know what Romance is?

I agree this can be true at times, ie: gift giving occasions we are all pressured into participating in. But on the other hand when already involved in a relationship to recieve the above for no other reason than your partner thought about you and knew this would make you smile, well, thats just, nice...

It makes you feel good to make others feel good? Carefull Pete, your gonna damage your mephistophelean male reputation!
As far as romance being a game... this holds true when the romance is artificial, a means to an end, when it is not sincere. Romance where genuine feeling is involved is a sharing of sorts, when we make gestures towards each other because we want them to feel as good as we do.
