Is romance dead in this harsh world, or am I seen as a psycho for believing in fairytales?

It’s a literally trash world

It still exist. It’s just not like it used to be, especially w a lot of today’s women. You see so much videos online of women saying it’s “cringe” to give her flowers on the first date. But she’s in his car later that night giving him a blowjob later that night. A lot of women shun men for opening the doors for them. Miss independent. A lot of women have become like men, so we don’t even have to try, we don’t have to romance them because they’re sleeping around w all these men. I think women who think think like this need to ask theirselves, am I worthy of romance? Am I the type of lady that men who are romantic, who will provide, take care of me, etc, am I what they’re looking for? A lot of women aren’t.

Sometimes I think it is too but then I see something that changes my mind.

Romance is not dead at all but not being optimistic about finding it is normal and so is being a hopeless romantic

[DryGermanGuy]

True. If Punk isn't dead, so isn't romance!

[WhitneySnow]

No. It still exists. It’s just rare, like a rare flower.

@WhitneySnow spot on.

My aim on GAG is to prove romance is very much alive, not just in cheesy movies.

You’re not a psycho at all, you’re just a romantic in a hookup, ghosting, low-effort era. Fairytales are just exaggerated versions of real feelings: loyalty, effort, butterflies, emotional safety. That’s not crazy, that’s rare.

Protect your standards, avoid red flags, and don’t dim that soft heart. The right person will think your “fairytale” mindset is the greenest flag ever.

Honey as someone with ASPD, believing in that is at best naive but cute.

It ain't dead but too many nice people who would try were ruined by parnters who treated them poorly.

It is still out there but it takes some effort from everyone involved

I, unfortunately, do believe. I wish I didn't.

feminism and sexual revolution destroyed that. it's gone for a long time.

Romance is something the young believe in still and the old who remember when it previously existed

[DryGermanGuy]

Nope. Get a change of scenery.

I believe in romance, but I never had one.
