The Official Phatmass Hopeful Romantic Thread

[color=#ff0066]I agree that modern romance novels are the equivalent of female porn in the fact that they manipulate our perception of 'love,' and make us think that it has all the bells and whistles, is always romantic, is a feeling, that the apex of the relationship is sex, etc. I think some movies, like the Notebook, do that too.....
















....and I know I'm going to get a bunch nasty responses from people who loooove that movie. My apologies.[/color]
