Is romance simply a gimmick of the poor man?

When a man doesn’t have riches to offer, some say he turns to romance—words, poetry, promises—to prove his value. Romance becomes his currency. He can’t buy castles, but he can build fantasies. He can’t offer jewels, but he can offer devotion.

When he has riches to offer, obviously he becomes an arrogant buyer and wants to buy everything at once. So love and romance is greek and latin for him.

Whereas a true lover who is good in romance, won't offer jewels and won't buy castles even if he is wealthy.

@in10RjFox Men go into relationships for love. Women go into relationships for money.

If they can't get money, they have a meltdown and blame men for all the problems in the world.

Remember the disparity between men and women about sex:

- for women - "Who will I let sleep with me tonight?"
- for men - "Who will let me sleep with them tonight?"

Women often have a 'list' of men to choose from. Men don't usually have any 'list' of women to choose from.
