The headline said: "13 Beautifully Feminine Bedrooms "
The headline didn't say anything about "romantic."
What makes women (like Kaitlyn) think that men (1/2 of the people who sleep in bedrooms) want to sleep in a feminine room?
Kaitlyn, do you want to sleep in a bedroom surrounded by a motorcycle, half disassembled? A table saw (with sawdust) pushed into a corner? I didn't think so.
So why do you want us to sleep in a feminine bedroom? As the old ad for the cheap motel says: "When you turn the light out, our (cheap) room looks just like their (expensive) room.

"Design Inspiration: 13 Romantic Bedrooms (PHOTOS)" and I quote. On another page, the teaser called them the "13 beautifully Feminine Bedrooms" you refer to. However, I didn't find any of these pictures appealing at all, much less romantic or feminine. I felt like I was looking at IKEA ads. Scandinavian is not my favorite style, obviously.

Yeah, these look just like the type of bedrooms the average person has in their home. Get real.

Most are too "frilly" for me. Obviously,none of these bedrooms were designed by Candace Olsen!

These are gorgeous - definite inspiration for redesigning my bedroom! I love the floaty, romantic feel.

Probably only one of those (the third) is one I would ever feel comfortable in as a gay man, let alone being "romantic" in. To echo one of the comments below, does "romantic" always have to equal "feminine"?

Does 'romantic' always mean it has to look like a feminine boudoir?
07:18 AM on 02/13/2012
i wouldnt call many of those "femine"-but those were all ones i didnt like either (as a woman). so if you are a guy and wanna get a woman in the mood-you might need to relent on the design....

I do like teh "gothic" look though-reds and blacks....dark curtains....clawfoot wardrobe....a heavy black wooden canopy type bed with drapes that go all around...moody lighting......

I would also find a room made to look like a sleeper cabin on a train romantic....since guys typically like trains, i'd imagine that would be a nice compromise.

What was so romantic about these? They looked like normal bedrooms to me. No trapeze, no mirrors on the ceiling, nothing.

Who writes this stuff? "Lay in"? "Done a bathrobe" ? Hire a copy editor!
