Guys how do you express your romanticism to a woman other than constantly humping her
Respect! Show your appreciation! Hugs, kisses.
Charm and romance start but the horny side of me always takes over and wins
Passionately kissing her. and her whole body and taking things slowly.
I don't think that I need to 'express' my romanticism: it's often obvious to most girls that I'm romantic in the way I act (even when I try so hard to conceal it).
Just like Einstein didn't need to 'express' that he was a genius, or Ghandi didn't need to 'express' that he had a kind soul.
Qualities or attributes that need to be 'expressed' are more often than not a whole lot of bullshit. The same applies to romanticism: there's absolutely nothing romantic in and of itself about offering flowers, valentine cards or compliments. It's all about where your actions stem from, nothing else.
Kindness, affection, courtesy, chivalry; all practiced whenever I'm NOT trying to get in her pants. Only being nice or affectionate when you want to score is just what it takes to turn a relationship bad. At that point she'll read every act of kindness or affection as a pass and quickly shut you out.
Getting her small gifts that don't cost a lot, but are things that make her life easier that she wouldn't have gotten herself.
I was born romantic....We are a dying breed....I just act as myself...If i am with a woman, then there is no other...She is the centre of everything.
For me it is about treating her with love and respect. Foreplay starts long before any touching occurs. Some will say flowers and candy. I think she wants dialogue and sharing and self sacrifice. So many women feel overwhelmed with responsibility and then are suppose to 'put out' at bed time, when they are drained with responsibility. If you are in a two person working household a majority of men think that " woman's work" is beneath them. So rather than flowers, do the laundry or cook the meal. Including dishes. In place of candy, take her for a walk and tell her how much you love her. I promise you will be rewarded big time in the sack.
Let her know you are thinking about her, even at inappropriate times. If you really care about her, she will wander into your thoughts with alarming regularity.
I'm aware this is ask the guys, but I'm curious - do men generally care less about romanticism,or is that just a bad stereotype?
I build her up, encourage her, protect her and serve her. I might even write a poem or two.
Intimacy. Whether it be a warm hug or just listening to how her day went, showing you care and love her is most important to a relationship.
A good hump is important too, but becomes far less important the longer you're with someone. At least that's the case for me.

I kiss her, hold and cuddle with her. I take her on dates to upscale places, candlelight dinners. Eventually it turns to sex, but she wants it as much as I do.
