Don't you two get me started.
I'll take on the both of you at once. We're rather good at multi-tasking you see.

I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, wholesome things that money can buy.
And there was me thinking you of all people would have my back
Shame - on - you.
Fine, all three of you then.
Firstly, what you're telling me is ridiculous... I suspect you must be quite bitter from past experiences, perhaps? It's not a question of gender at all. It's all about the individual.
I mean...I'm the most romantic person I know, and last time I checked - I'm female.

I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?
LadyW I am on your side with this one alsoAnd there was me thinking you of all people would have my back

Oops!
It's a good thing to be alone in life. You get much less worried. Problem is, maybe a man will understand it better after the 80s ... The 30s are being really hard!
Forgive me, because I cannot recall the correct source, but I remember reading of a sociological study that looked at the lifespans of married men and women, in comparison to forever single men and women. On average, unmarried men lived longer than married men; additionally, unmarried women lived shorter than married women. Weird, eh? Perhaps, as you say, 'men who live platonically are unhappy,' but that unhappiness lasts longer than marriage!
Grumbles!!! This IS so GiRLiSh!!!
This is why they're so adorable!
Hm ... 'Should recover sanity, here ...
You guys don't do much better than us. Men should stop torturing me by merely existing.This is why they're so adorable!

Nonsense - Women are interested in romance, in as much as they want to be romanced. In general,they do not do any romancing themselves, it's fine that way though because guys dont really need to be romanced, often we just want to get laid and can easier accomplish that if we do some romanicin'.

Who put too much wine in his stew
He felt a bit drunk
And fell off his bunk
And landed smack into his shoe ~(C) Ms Niamh Anne King
