According to men, what is romance? Do you engage in it with your spouse? Why/why not?

A sometimes necessary stop on the road to sexual congress.

Do men romance women in order to have sex? So if a guy takes out a girl for dinner, does he do it purely to have a great meal or does he do it because he wants it to lead to sex?

Hey, you gotta eat. But a lot of men would reverse the order if they could.

Men want erotically charged romance: think of a lovely secluded picnic with gourmet food and wine on a hillside meadow where clothing starts to come off.

You are deluding yourself if you think you can find a secluded picnic spot.

What will happen if a woman dosen't pick up the hint that romance should lead to sex? Will a man get over it?

On any given night or weekend? Man will pretty easily get over it.
Beyond that... the romance flow will rapidly dry up if the sex doesn't start flowing.

I think men want romance and an emotional connection, but it looks differently than what women want. Less flowery and more home cooked dinners and BJs.

He better not have a covert contract in his mind (“if I buy her dinner then she will have sex with me”) - women can smell that a mile away and it turns them off.

But yeah writ large men do “romance” because they want sex.

A turkey shoot is fine, but a good long hunt can be more satisfying. It’s nice to feel you reeled in a blue marlin based on skill and smarts, versus just buying precooked tilapia at Whole Foods.
