Those who are in favor of romantic life tend to think that real life can be as dramatic and fascinating as it is in the novels and movies.While those who advocate the realistic life attitude think this navie daydream is certain to be broken by later experiences and everyone should learn to get used to the dull routine of his everyday life.
However,there are some inadequaxies in the opinions on the part of both sides.Life will be unimaginable if everything we do is only for realistic purposes,and immersing oneself too much in dream and fantasies is unreasonable and harmful.
In my opinion,a real happy life can never be separated from either of two ways.On the one hand,let's enjoy life,enjoy the blue depth of a clear sky,enjoy the harmony on violin strings and enjoy the excitment of sports.On the other hand,let's not forget our work,happy lifecan never go without hard work.
What about you?
what is your opinion?
Which life do you prefer?

In my opinion i think the people must find a way to balance the realistic and romantic.We would have a romantic life,which life do you like best,but you will realize the true life.The romantic life will power you and take you a goal.But you may not only in romantic,you will pay out your effort and improving your life.
In my life,i choose the romantic life.I like image my life,i want living a good life.but in true life,i am not born in wealth family,i want to get something must depend on myself.
A ZA A ZA fighting.i will live a good life.

Think back to the first date...if there had been no romance there would have been no relationship...by the same token if there was not other Real time things about Him that You liked again not likely the relationship goes any futher...so i agree real life spiced with a little romance is the way to a happy life...Another thing it doesnt have to be the Woman all the time that plans a romantic evening ...lots of women think it romantic if Husband or bf cook supper ,bring flowers for no reason...take her for a spa day and share it with her instead of watching football while she goes to make herself beautiful for you...spontaneously call and let her know you love her ...and vice versa send him one red rose at His work with an invite to dinner out...real life is always there ...we need to work on the romance to keep love alive...

You can't live a romantic life. A person becomes romantic from the way others look at him. You have to lead a realistic life. Movies are just fantasy. That is why we go to see them. To escape from the real world.
Enjoying music is just a nature of the person. Differnt people like different types of music. Some may not like music and will be attracted to art. That is not being romantic. It is realistic.

life is real not ideal so I think we should live realistic.but sometimes romatic is necessary,for example,some special days,we should observe it in some romantic ways.

Of course I like to have a romantic life, but it's too ideal to complete. In the reality we have to face the truth all the time. For example, in some special days when my husband buys me flowers, I think it's OK to buy other practical gifts. As flowers can't last forever:)

Both, romantic life brings so much happiness for the involve person that they almost regret all people around them, while realistic life is a life that's fruitfull in way of experience, lesson, and all excitement.

Live a realistic life full of romance. Balanced so that all can be content with the world and relationships. Responsibility is good when you have others to care for and even doing chores around the house can have an air of romance for another. Work does not have to be hard. It is often energetic for mind or body and occasionally both. Hard is a state of mind and when in balance the 'hard' work is not perceived as such. Hope you get the idea of how romance is part of every day at work and at home.

I'm a romantic guy, so I would like to live a romantic life and a romatic love story. I lived a romantic love story for two years but when it was finished I have understood that people must be both of things. To be very realistic guy is cold and I don't want to live without dreams, but we cannot live only with the dreams.

I think women are more prone to think romantic. From the time we are little we are moved that way. What little girl has not had a Prince Charming, happily ever after story read to her several times. Notice that boys,as a rule are not read these types of stories. Women tend to think more along the romantic lines than men. Men tend to think along the lines of the physical. Young love/young marrieds spend a lot of time on romance culminating in the pyhsical aspects. That is what they see in the movies and romance novels. Long lasting love is more realistic. Love him even if he never puts the toilet seat down. Working together, for each other and enjoying being with each is more realistic. The reality of real love is simply sitting in the same room, looking up from your newspaper and seeing your beloved in the chair across the room and smiling.

A happy life is a combination of both. Share and Enjoy Life the way it comes happy or sad.

I like romantic life, but now it is a dream for me, I don't even have a stable income now, and I don't know what kind of job I can do. I'm a lazy girl, I admit. But now I really want to make enough money for my living. I dream too much time to be in a romantic life, but it is not realistic for me. I'm anxious about my life, I can't live by myself. Do you have a job in real life? Are you satisfied with it? How much money do you earn online? Do you think can I make enough money online? Give me some advice, please.

I think one needs a good balance of idealism and realism to see oneself through life.
Too much realism and we run the risk of becoming cynical.
Too much idealism and we might be living in airy fairy land and have nothing pegging us to the ground.
Personally, I would say I was idealistic when younger. But since I've started working, the hard facts of life have hit me, and I've become more and more realistic. Xian3 Shi2 as some may say. Ideals and romanticism makes live worth living for, and puts something in our hearts to look forward to. A healthy dose of realism will keep us from spending all our money on a whim, and keep us functioning well in the real world.
