5 Things Men Can Learn from Romance Novels

picture

In the next few weeks I have several TV and radio interviews where I’m the “romance expert.” I’m giving the male listeners/viewers tips on how to plan the perfect Valentine’s Day, and on one TV show, I’m giving a list of 5 Things Men Can Learn from Romance Novels.

Here it is for you…

What Men Can Learn from Romance Novels

5. Fidelity is sexy. (Once a romance hero finds his heroine, no other woman exists for him.)
4. It’s okay to be sensitive. (Romance heroes are always kind to children and animals.)
3. Pay attention! (Romance heroes focus on their lady. When she speaks, they give undivided attention—even if the playoff game is on.)
2. Love scenes are about emotion. (The emotional is just as important for a romance hero as the physical—well, okay, almost as important.)
1. Express your feelings. (I know. It’s hard for the romance heroes, too. That struggle is why women love it so much.)

So what would be on your list? It doesn’t have to be 5, just let me know whatever you come up with.

    It’s okay if you are a bad boy as long as you can redeem yourself in the end. (Think Sebastian St. Vincent)

    Wow Shana, this is a great list! My hubby has never read a romance novel, but I would say that he already knows/does all five…although number 3 is broken occasionally. ;)

    Yeah, #3 is the tough one, Andrea! But 4 out of 5 is pretty awesome :-)

    Looking at you like Mr. Darcy (Colin Firth) does is a big must. . . :)

    My list would have all of the above as well as honesty which is probably in with emotions. Caring listening and honesty are very important to me.
    Have Fun

    Yeah, that number 3 is a real toughie for most guys. ;-)

    I love your list. I’d add “having a sexy smile will get you everywhere.”

    Another suggestion for the list:

    Don’t overlook the “fluffy” ladies. We have a lot to offer as well!!!
