from the simple knick knacks like flowers, cards, and chocolates---are these things outdated? how about a sincere compliment? i may be old fashioned but i really look forward to meeting a guy that knows how to be romantic (be it in a date or otherwise)

I love this topic, because, its a two part answer. Yes, men have lost their romantic side, BUT the bigger question is why they lost it? Women have MADE men lose it.
Women, you need to understand, if you want me to buy dinner, pull out chairs, open doors, get you cards and flowers, any anything else on those lines, great, I will. But don't act like you have such frailty and then when Monday morning comes along insist you can do the same job as I can and deserve the same pay and all of the sudden your my equal. You get one or the other, not both.

well, let's not generalize things. i agree with you, partially. women in some point may demand too much. however, some don't ask much. a sincere compliment here and there will certainly make a girl's day.
but i think you'll agree with me when i say that some men find it cheesy (other may consider it downright non-existent in their vocab) in giving flowers/chocolates, showing emotions in public, and alike

kinda, I don't mind the public thing, a kiss here and there, or whatever, as long as its a two way street. But for the most part your right, I feel like a kid in Jr. High when I'm walking through the store and my wife tries to hold my hand.

i don`t quite how to say this with out making you or someone else mad.several years ago the women started a movement called women lib.and it`s still going strong today.if you whisle,say something nice,or just admire a lady walking down the street.your accused of stocking,or some other thing that causes all kinds of problems.if you bring a lady flowers,the first thing she want to know is,ok, what do you want! men can`t win. women are constantly running men down.so why should we even dare to try and impress them.
if a man isn`t good looking or don`t make 100,000
dollars he`s worthless.well hope i didn`t make you mad,thats just how i feel.

i dont believe that if a man isn't good looking or is not earning six-digits means that he's worthless. probably it's my own experience that made me asked such question.
with regard the compliment, i think i would be dependent on how you delivered the same. if it comes out rude, then certainly you'll be branded as a stalker (as you've mentioned). to be honest, i don't like men whistling and staring at women like a pieces of meat.
imagine receiving fake flowers on valentine's day---sweet, isn't it?
