It seems like nowadays women are more romantic than men. What gives?

As more and more children are being raised surrounded by digital media (so romcoms and instagram feeds from accounts that document the progression of relationships), both are contributing to girls who are probably just about old enough to date now having unrealistic ideas of what real-life dating is actually like.
I think it mostly depends on character. I have met some romantic lovely men. Not every woman is romantic too. Even some women laughed at me for being an idealist and they are supposed to be romantic.
In my experience men are just more blunt, and think that them just being with you is enough. The fluff, the romance, the flowers, the frills - that's just stuff that chicks tend to prefer.
For me, it is kind of an inspirational thing. There have been women that did not inspire that in me. They wanted it, so I had to force it. Which means the romance was not very romantic. Other women have inspired that in me and made it easy. Romantic things just sort of happened without me even intending it.
The only explanations are that maybe men don’t feel like it’s worth it anymore or it’s just simple biology.
Not worth it anymore?
Yeah, I think the notion that more women are becoming closer to men and more women are engaging in more indiscriminate sex and hooking up could be the reason why men don’t act romantic anymore.
Wow, they can't go around thinking all women are the same. Unfortunate.
Yeah, I don’t think women are all the same but if a man has seen a lot of this in his personal life than maybe he might think all women aren’t much different and his experiences warps reality.
JUst be yourself & don't go based off your past or others negative experiences.
Sure

i always personally thought women were supposed to be more romantic. also i think it just depends on the guy. he and you may have different understandings on what is romantic, as well as maybe he doesn't feel the need he has to be or maybe he just doesn't know how to be romantic. itd be best just to have a good convo with the guy to express how you feel.
Us men are simple creatures. We don't like the fluff, we just want to say how we feel in a simple manner without a lot of unnecessary s*** going on in the background.
I also find as women get older and more mature they ditch childish ideas of romance and become more practical.
We live in a world where sex is given so freely that lots of men dont see a need to be romantic. If a man really likes a women, and wants a real relationship he will be romantic.
May be the guys that you have come across aren't great?
My husband is... not all the time but esp when i want him to.
If we are romantic you consider us weak, tehn you chase after the dicks. Plus, you never call out the female friends that do this. men learn and adapt. Be a jerk = get the hot chick.
Maybe sometime he has no clue how to express his feelings!!
you are hanging with the wrong guys all guys i know are very romantic
They're not that emotional
some men are still romantic.
