Romanticized Ideation
Is what woman project on to men with big dicks to detract from the fact that they just hopped on the fastest cock they could find. This happens between "Initial Attraction" and continues until the "Label Phase" begins (Where you call yourself a couple, or fuck buddies, or whatever imaginary word or term you come up with for "Doubling down on the fat cock". After the "Label Phase", the "Rose colored shades" slowly fade and you are brought down to "Reality" and the "Novelty" of the first two phases is either replaced with "Nostalgia" or the relationship continues to deteriorate or end.

It looks something like this:

"Label Phase"

/ \ /

"RIP" / \ "RCGF" "Nostalgia" /

/ \ "Reality" /
"IA"/ \_______________/

/ \

\ "Deterioration"

\

So no. The piece of shit floppy cock you're fucking is not nor has he ever been great or good. Rather, you are either in the "RCGF" portion or the "Nostalgia" portion. Either way you're full of shit. Romanticized Ideation.

Postmodern Urban Romanticism
A literary and artistic movement in the United States that incorporates elements of second -generation English Romantic literature and philosophy with postmodernist artistic sensibilities. Informed by the social sciences, works in this genre are typically situated against a landscape of urban and psychological decay. Particularly prominent in the midwestern United States.

"It could be argued that many intellectuals who write new formalist verse for poetry slams, or make philosophy memes are incorporating elements of postmodern urban romanticism."
By Sela
Reverse Romanticism
A situation in which a person in a relationship, generally the male, starts to become MORE romantic as the relationship goes past the dating phase (and maybe even start becoming more years after). Generally, people tend to be romantic only in the very beginning of their relationships, and become less enthusiastic and romantic for the remainder of the relationship. Reverse Romanticism would be the opposite.

See Reverse Romantic

"Usually I date men that start romantic, but stop being romantic in about 2 months into our relationship. Dennis didn't start becoming truly romantic until we were married! He opens my door now, buys me flowers, and even treats me like a queen after 7 years of being together. I asked him "why now"?, and he said he would rather give me a genuine lifetime of romance, than just the temporary romance most guys show in the beginning. He wanted our relationship to be more fun, romantic, and get BETTER with time. I love Reverse Romanticism!"
