Women want romance just NOT what you or what pop culture deems as romance. Women are kinda flakey 90% of the time you're going to get it wrong with women. Women want what they want and only when they want it. I always tell guys don't even concern yourself with what she wants. Just get what you want and do your best to anticipate what she wants. And then just let it be. You'll drive yourself crazy trying to please most women. The simple truth is 20% of women are reasonable. Just try to find one of those 20%.

Okay this is just my opinion from growing up in the 90's boyband area era...
Woman were very romantic... like the notebook romantic, titanic romantic ( yes the leonardo decaprio movie) , and omfg about boy bands which centered on groups of 4-6 men vocalizing their undying love for woman in song story format.
And yet men were always trying to hit it and quit it... leaving them broken hearted and vonerable, and many a times a single mother filled with bitterness for the freedom of her youth cut short while he ran free.
Take all that into account and young woman today be less willing to expose their feelings.

The romantic ones are:
A. single yet hopeless romantics (like me xD)
B. generally afraid of showing love out of fear of rejection.
(or a combination of both)
We are told by dating gurus, websites, etc. to “let the man take the lead”, build chemistry by pulling away”, and let’s not forget good ol’ “keep him on his toes”… so we do. Clearly, results in guys thinking we’re just not into them. In reality, some of us are pros at hiding our feelings of bliss and adoration xD
It's jus the way it is. Men date with emotion, women date with logic. I can't believe it when some people say that men are unromantic, where in fact it's the opposite. Guys fall in love faster which is the closest to love at first sight.
I think it has always been this way, Women use logic when dating, men are more logical in other areas, except love.

I think it depends on what "romance" is to each person. My husband and I are romantic in different ways. He loves to sip coffee and watch a sunset together. I enjoy that, but it doesn't exactly give me butterflies. I would prefer words of affection and taking turns giving/receiving a massage. To him, that's dull and he'd rather skip to the sex part.
Men love idealistically while women love realistically. Which means that as a man your only true strength in this world is your sense of logic, and facts. Women show romantic sentiments only to the males they see fit or deserving of the same by virtue of having a sexual mean value higher than theirs.
Some women are romantic, personally I’m not but I will do it for my guy from time to time.
For me it’s just to much
The person appears too needy for me
Someone who wants to be all over me gets annoying
Some women crave a lot of affection
You just have to find the right typeI only would be romantic to my potential husband. I dont believe in any romantic words or acts he does if he does not marry me and so wastes my youth which is very important for many women since women's age matters in the dating world unlike men's age.
Women expect to be romanticized. They don't expect to be the ones to do the romancing because they believe they're oh so special and as such deserve to be treated special when they haven't done shit besides flick their hair and bat their eyelashes

Uh based on your response in the other answer that's exactly what I'm looking for. I dont want the sex part but give me all the affection lmao
They must not be into you. Every woman I've dated, who shared a reciprocating feeling, were cutesy and romantic. Thats the key- reciprocating feeling. The ones who werent into me in that way were like blocks of wood.
Romantically women tend to just be takers and they almost never give back.
When was the last time a woman was thoughtful and did something nice for you? Did something without even being asked that shows she was thinking of you?Women don't really need to work that hard to get a relationship. Romance is the man's burden in western society.
I think you’re just looking at the wrong women lmfao. Typically men aren’t romantic too.
I find romance cringe. I don’t know why. But I have gfs who like romance. So horses for courses really.
Maybe you are meeting the wrong type of women. Im very romantic, much more then my husband. I'm okay with it cause I don't really care to be romanced
That depends on what you consider romantic. What is romance to you?
In what I understand they are the romantic receivers than doers
The only way they will be romantic is when you iinitiate its like they have an expectation from a man that's how they romanceName a story or show where a woman is being romantic to a man.
For romance stuff as far as I know it has always been the man getting the girl.Who says?
I'm very romantic to the point I feel like nobody wants to be romantic anymore.
There are many romantic womenIt deponds on what is. I am not instersted in sex since is not imporment to me. also am virgin and would like to virgin guy.
I guess romance isn't beneficial for the survival of the species.
Because I am more interested in reality than fantasy.
I would argue the opposite. In my experience, women are too romantic.
