I think it might depend on what you consider romantic. I think a lot of people, men and women, equate romance with some old fashioned ideas of chivalry, love and permanency, which can grate against the idea of feminism and female autonomy. And if you introduce romance into this type of swinging environment, some people may read it as one party looking more long term at the encounter. However I think the two can exist together so long as there is clear conversation about expectations and boundaries.
I love a bit of romance but it doesn't mean I'm planning a wedding babies and weekend dinner parties with the neighbours 2 years down the line! |

I think maybe I misunderstood the question based on a couple of replies on this thread, but if you’re asking whether you can be romantic without splashing mad cash on romantic things, then yes. I feel like it’s more the thought that counts and it doesn’t matter how ‘pragmatic’ you are, you can still make a grand romantic gesture within your means x |

That’s perfectly true, thank you I agree but no it’s not really what meant. My question is, can you be romantic as in idealistic, feeling, caring yet also be pragmatic as in realistic, practical and rational x |

"I wouldn't fancy the romance with someone I'd only just met on here
The pragmatist in me would consider it over affected
Could you work it though?"
I'm not sure what you mean |

I haven't gave my input as I still seek clarity in what you're asking.
Wellinever seeks the same on you're comment too her.
Earlier in you're post a male member wasn't sure what you meant either.

I’m presuming the other male member you refer to was rough romantic who gave a very interesting answer and viewpoint to which I replied expanding what I meant. There’s been some other really fun replies to so unsure what else I could say to clarify something that’s merely a post to encourage a bit of fun and interaction. Again appreciate the interest... if you don’t understand it, it’s really not that important  |

You're right it's not important.
