No use for the Hallmark cards
I write better ones myself. But I do cry when they come out with one of these sweet, touching commercials. Also, any tear-jerker, but not all chick-flicks are tj's or even sweetly romantic.

Point on, CL. I am a romantic, spend most of my free time with my woman,
and don't give a crap about missing out on what the boys are up to, nor have I ever wanted to gamble more than I wanted to "poke-her". Hell, I cry more than my lady during chick flicks. Does it bother me? Not until she asks me why I'm crying...

I am with you completely! Romancing your lady is one of the great joys of life...Yours? Well, never had the pleasure, mine, actually...

I admit it... I lose interest while reading mushy hallmark cards....
but my boyfriend still keeps buying them. HE likes them. I think they're awful. What a pair. LOL

Poke-Her? Too funny!
I agree 100% with you. But I am a poet. On the other hand, I am a rugby-playing poet. And I drink stout, not beer. And I like the houses in the car commercials -- who cares about the automobile, where IS that place?
In short, I am Madison Avenue's worst nightmare or would be if I had any money to spend.

Ha!
By coincidence I went through some old things recently and came across a book called
Real Men Don't Eat Quiche. Would it convey the same message today as it did in the 30 years ago?

Great post! I'm not sure I'd be too keen on a guy who would rather sit at a table mindlessly losing money than be with sweet little me diddling with his dingle.

I was just reading about how you're a cowboy. Turns out you're a romantic cowboy. Like Bon Jovi. (Never could figure out why those guys are from Jersey but dress like cowboys.) Now I know, they're a special breed of sentimental buckaroos. I myself am one parts senti, two parts mental.
Take care, buckaroo.

Thanks, that's very kind of you to say.
Not to sell out my gender or anything - that isn't my agenda - but isn't it fair to say that the fairer sex and womankind is much fairer and, in fact, much kinder than mankind? On behalf of mankind, RobDon and I would like to apologize for that.
Thanks for the visit.

There's a lot that can be said for holding hands and the occasional mild bite of the ear lobe and frolicking, galavanting and crazy name calling also have there place.

Cunning--
Well, I hesitate to say this without taking a poll of womankind (LOL) but anyone who wouldn't pick you over the commercial-brainwashed, unromatic guys is frankly, NUTS!

Hahahahaha! No apologies. You spelled it right. I am the one who
spells it incorrectly!

it sounds like you might be one of the lucky ones. Good for you. oh, and I think everybody takes a backseat to the Super Bowl. Other than those people who watch the "Grease" marathon on the other channel.
Thanks for the visit :-)

Doesn't sound gay at all. My hubby is the
one of the most "many" men I know, and he shares many of your views. Although, come Superbowl time, I DO have to at least wait until half-time for any amorous attention!
