Do guys dream of romance?

Just wondering do they sit and dream of a time when they are going to meet the right woman and fall deeply in love. Obviously sex would be involved in these fantasies, but sex with the one you love.

Yeh, we do.
Sometimes we try not to overthink things too much tho, like so much can change so quickly it's hard to ever envision things. Things can be so uncertain.
I tend to be a bit more thoughtful and emotionally connected to things than some of my mates tho - I certainly do dream about the future and meeting the right person.

Some of the other lads I'm mates with are less philosophical tho, they're more into short term things.
It normally depends on the type of lad tbh

Yea every night before sleeping
This is gonna sound really sad but, when I go to bed every night I imagine I'm getting into bed with a girl that's like wifey type material. Not in a sexual way, I just imagine that there is this girl who I can cuddle with every night and who is there for me. I kinda create a world in my head where this happens. I hug my blanket as if it were a person :frown:. For this reason, going I really enjoy going to be or having naps cause it means I can kinda escape into this world.
I'm a 17 year old guy in my last year of 6th form. Never had a girlfriend or my first kiss :frown:. Maybe one day. It's for a couple of reasons. Firstly, i'm ugly as hell. Secondly, I'm not allowed to go out to socialise(even pre-covid). Thirdly cause I haven't been allowed out, my social skills suck, so even in school I haven't been able to build meaningful friendships or relationships with people.

That doesn't sound sad at all, I think it's really sweet and whatever u may think, you're not ugly...Why weren't you allowed out, are your family religious?

I was born with this birth defect thing that makes my nose quite unsymmetrical and a scar above my lip. That makes me ugly af.

Yea, my family is religious.
I'm 26 now but yes - always. Intimacy and sincere love/romance have been two things that I've longed for for years now. Since my early teens even.
Hi there.

Ummm

I am an hopeless romantic, so yeah dream about.

Sex is not much involved in. I crave physical connection, human touch. So I always imagine being with my forever partner cuddling, being close, talking with each other, telling how much we love each other and all. But at the end of the day, it is just a dream...

Sex is just the ultimate connection. I am demisexual.
Absolutely. I miss the having well planned dates, walking around and talking, eating together, holding hands and generally having fun. I’m not lonely but it’s on my mind once in a while
So would you say that you dream/fantasise more about sex rather than romance or just not at all?
Awwww these responses :thumbsup:

Most guys (and girls) nowadays associate romance with materialism :rolleyes:
Every now and then. I definitely relate to the earlier guy sometimes in my down moments when you would like to have someone (especially in a time like this) to lie next to bed.

A lot of us do crave true love as opposed to just intimacy.
yes, i expect love letters handwritten with a sharp biro
along with one single biscuit that i can enjoy whilst read the letter out loud to my pets.
I don't really think of it all the time. Maybe once every 2 weeks. Usually I'm working long hours and if I'm not I'm asleep! I do want to be married and take my wife everywhere! If I was married I'd prioritise my wife instead of work
