To me I prefer a caring man to a romantic man. Though the two are very important but a caring man is the better. A caring man is likely to be romantic because care gives birth to romance. When a man cares for a woman, that woman will always want to be around the man and play with him, which leads to bed.

When a man is romantic but lacks care, the relationship will not last. At a time, the lady will get tired of romance and you will hear the woman saying it is because of sex that he wants me. So, come rain come sunshine, I prefer a caring man who will always know when you need a thing and provide it.

I know that majority of the women will say they prefer a romantic man but I will choose a caring man even in the next world to come. A caring man must be romantic. It is rare to see a man who is caring who does not know how to handle a woman when it comes to romance. Care is a way to a woman’s heart. If you care for a woman, you can deceive her because whatever you tell her, she will believe you. If a woman is hungry, can she enjoy romance? If my man cares for me, he does not need to ask for romance because I will give him without him asking for it.

I need both a romantic and caring man because I need a man to care for me and at the same time, a man that can handle me well in order to satisfy my sexual desires as God made it to be. If a man cares for me without being romantic, something is missing. Likewise, if he is romantic without caring for me, something is missing too.Therefore, I need a man that has the two qualities.

I will choose a man that has the two qualities because they are very necessary. If a man is caring and also romantic, the woman is fulfilled. She won’t have any cause to look outside to fill the gap in the area where the man ought to be lacking because he has both qualities.

I prefer a man that has both qualities. That is simply because, I cannot be happy if my man is romantic without been caring. I cannot eat romance because there is time for it unlike cares. When a man is caring, he knows when the woman is in need. He knows when his woman needs to make her hair, change his shoes, clothes and even jewellery. A caring man knows when the woman is over working and needs rest. He knows when to come for sex and when not to. A romantic man is only concerned about how to satisfy his sexual desire but not so with a caring man. I believe strongly that every woman will prefer a caring man except a sex maniac.

I prefer both qualities because if I have a man that is caring and romantic and knows how to complement me as his wife, knows the size of my shoes and so on. Also, I am a woman that loves a romantic mood. I want a husband that knows what to do about and where to take me to for a perfect relationship.

Abiodun Sule
I prefer a man that is caring because once I have a caring man definitely I am having a romantic man and I will be so much in love with him.

Bridget Odewade
I prefer a man that is both romantic and caring. Actually a romantic man would be very caring because they are intertwined. A caring man would automatically be romantic. As for my husband, he did not appear to be romantic at first because he is an African man to the core, but he is very caring. So, as a naturally caring husband, he easily becomes romantic even without realizing it.

I prefer a caring man first, then romantic can come later. Every woman wants to be loved and cherished. She wants to be taken care of. Naturally, human beings should be taken care of. A man could be romantic but very stingy. At the end of the day, he offers me flowers, na flowers I go chop? But if a man is caring, he knows that this lady needs this or that, she robs powder on her face, makes her hair and all that. All these count. But when you are just romantic and dry and nothing is coming out of your pocket, it is really not good.

A man has to be caring and romantic. This is what I prefer. The two qualities are complementary. They are needed for a relationship to sail smoothly. As for me, if a man is caring first, it is an indication that he is or would be romantic. My husband indeed has both outstanding qualities and I thank God for his life.

Bisi Balogun
I prefer a caring man. As for being romantic, it is relative. I think all men have one way or the other of being romantic. I wonder how a man can really win a woman’s love if he is not romantic in a way. To me, all men are romantic, what might be different is the level of being romantic by different men. This is because being romantic is what actually makes a man to gain a woman’s attention before friendship or courtship begins. It was actually my husband’s romantic nature that endeared me to him first. But a man should match romance with care to be a complete man.
