Too funny. You've nailed it! As a romance author, all three of those traits you've mentioned are at the heart of the romance genre. Women need romance. We even need escapism sometimes, which is why sales for romance titles are so high. If we don't write it, where are women going to get romance? Real life? Not so much :)<br /><br />I think in general, men are more physically based and women more emotionally based in their needs. Exactly 180 degrees apart, which is a whole other topic for a blog post. Amazing couples can make it, right?<br /><br />All the best,<br />Kari Walker (writing as Kaylea Cross)<br /><a href="http://www.kayleacross.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">www.kayleacross.blogspot.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.kayleacross.com" rel="nofollow">www.kayleacross.com</a> Hi Kelly!

I think in general, men are more physically based and women more emotionally based in their needs. Exactly 180 degrees apart, which is a whole other topic for a blog post. Amazing couples can make it, right?
