In one of his sketches Michael McIntyre said that men don't know what it means when their woman says "We've been together for some time now. You've got to be a bit more romantic!"

Is this true?

It kind of baffles me as if you don't know how the heck did you manage to get your woman in the first place?

No judgement, just interest & curiosity.
If your woman said that to you would you know what to do with it?

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what Michael McIntyre is referring to without seeing the sketch in context.

My first thought would be: why would someone say that to their partner in the first place? Surely they already know what their partner is like, and that's part of what attracted them to them in the beginning.

If a man isn't naturally romantic in the traditional sense, and that's been the case throughout the relationship, is it fair to expect him to suddenly change years later? Everyone expresses affection differently. Some people are all about flowers, love notes, and grand gestures, while others show love through loyalty, support, making time for their partner, or simply being there when it matters.

I think the real question is whether she's asking for more romance or trying to change who he is. There's a big difference between wanting a bit more effort and wanting someone to become a different person altogether.

Everyone is different, and what one person sees as romantic, another person may not.
