Culture Shock

"Oh, he's such a Romeo."
Romeo

1) An ardent lover
2) A man who is devoted to love-making, or the pursuit of love

People sometimes describe a man as a "Romeo" - It can negative, as in a man who always surrounds himself with women or is always in the pursuit of women. It can also be positive, as in a man who is very romantic and passionate about the person he loves. I wonder why no one ever says, "She's such a Juliet." ?

  1. I totally noticed that too. It's more of something that guys will call each other if they're jealous of each other to tease them.
    And i think the reason that people don't say "She's such a Juliet." as much is because it's easier to say "she's a sweetie" or something like that.
    Also Being a 'Juliet' so to speak isn't exactly a good thing... yes sure you're pretty and lovely but your parents would keep you under lock and key and you would never have any freedom.
