How about camping? That is practical and away more cheaper than going to Tahiti. Not quite as romantic as going to some place exotic like Tahiti though.


I'm still curious as to what Dodo considers a practical vacation.

Though, I don't think that being cheaper has to mean less romantic. Or that romantic has to mean really expensive.


I guess it depends on the person. Some people feel that a tropical Island with a 5 star hotel is romantic whereas they wouldn't find a camping trip very romantic as they aren't getting pampered.
I enjoy camping and being out in nature...But I wouldn't want to be stuck with all the cooking and work just because I happen to be a woman!


Funny thing is that I quite enjoy cooking especially outdoors. I went camping with three guys and did all the cooking for the whole weekend. However; they did help with the clean up and showed much appreciation for what I did.
Great that the guys helped with clean-up and were appreciative of all you did...I like to take vacations to "feel free" and get away from chores.


Yeah, most of us do want those types of vacations but this was just a weekend camping trip.

Yes; I need one according to my doctor. I am burned out so much that my immune system shut down on me and I have been sick for the last two weeks. First time in 7 years that I have had even so much as a cold. I am just so stressed about either finding a new job or trying to start a new business as my job may soon be eliminated. I am also crazy busy with my two bands that I am not sleeping or eating. Yep; I need a break.

Sorry about all you've been going through...I got really sick after New Year's and went into a big slump...Hope you find a new job soon...I can't send you private messages anymore. The older notes got deleted. And you have a filter that doesn't allow women to write to you...Anyway please send me a note when you feel up to it and I'll be able to write back to you again. Thanks!

Why can't you can be both?

Oh, you can but again you only gave two answers to choose from.

Aren't you the same one that started the thread fat or skinny?
Giving no choice for healthy/average.

Eta: no you didn't start that thread, you've started so many it's an easy mistake.

Practical for me means more effort less money
Romantic for me means
more effort,more intentions and money ..... Combined together the money will lessen because you do it in a practical way...

Usually I am practical BUT being a child of chaos I cannot help but break out the romantic sometimes!

But a one sides romance is so BOARING!

Love does work both directions you know!


Yeah. If a woman insists on the romantic option when it is more expensive than the practical option, then the woman should pay for the romantic option.


Absolutely!


You dnt hv to spend a dime to be romantic
Like myself,I like experimentin new thing,dff kind of facial and body massage,and if it works,I'd like to give a nice massage on him out of tge blue..sometimes I'll record a voice note wakin him up,tellin him how much I care
I must say am a romantic person,sometimes too much,and I hope he does the same
He doesn't hv to buy me gift(I never ask my bf to buy me stuff)but am girl who needs attention,romantic to me is like he always keep me on his thought,msg me to knw wat am upto,look into my eyes and care for me wholeheartedlyy
I knw its unreal,until nw I cnt find anyone like tht

If your lady loves Home Depot and you patiently let her browse the aisles for new ideas...well, you've been a practical romantic!

Can you give an example of what you're talking about?

The location of a vacation, for example.


Why not expand on that example a bit? What do you consider practical? What do you consider romantic?


Tahiti may be a romantic place, but the cost of going there may be beyond a man's budget.


That only answered half the question. What would be the practical vacation vs the romantic vacation in Tahiti?


Dodo, I'm still wondering what your idea of a practical vacation is.

Something that is within one's budget.

Such as what, Dodo? You gave Tahiti as your idea of a romantic vacation. So I am asking you for an example of what you think is a practical vacation.

How am I to know what location would be within another person's budget?

How about answering for yourself? I'm just curious as to what a practical vacation would be.
