XD Well, I'm an anti-romantic, which can sometimes be confused for cynicism.
Really, the only reason I dislike the traditional ideals of romance is it... takes away a lot of the reality of a situation. If you spend all your time mooning about your "one and only" then you miss the flaws.
I mean, half the fun of Veld/Iffy is Veld realizing that Ifalna is not above most fallacies. Takes him a while. XD
Though, if you want to get really technical I'm probably a HUGE supporter of old school traditional romantic ideals. It had nothing to do with sex, or even love, but honor. I mean, stories about knights and the like were about them going to fight for a lady's honor and good name.
I've a weakness for old nobility and twisting it in the modern setting, because we're in a very relativist world.
