I once knew an entomologist whose specialty was the study of the role of scent in moth mating; his job was to devise a method of detecting the scent of the male genitalia; after five years of sniffing moth balls, he left the field and took refuge in a substance-abuse program.

Yes, there is, in our case anyways. After a evening of "romantic" opera, my husband is all smiles. kwim?
And I go to the movie with him for the latest spy thriller, sci fi offering, although it is a bit more difficult for me to find them very romantic. ;)

As a man we must say that we don't like opera even if we do. Women want to go to the opera perhaps, but rarely want to go with a man who actually likes it.

hmmmm . . . when we were dating, my husband asked if I liked opera. I thought he was talking about A Night At The Opera and responded that, yes, I did like that one, but preferred The Big Store (I loved Harpo on roller skates -- I thought that scene was hysterical).

The same thing happened when he offered to take me to a film festival. The only one I'd ever been to was a Marx Brothers' festival, and was most upset to learn that people actually attend movies in which no one speaks English. I mean really -- what's the point?

Let it go dude. She's gone. Doing a scientific study to determine why she "really" dumped you is crossing the border and qualifies it as an obsession.

I've never considered tickets and expensive dinners "worthless" gifts, but I guess that's just me.
