    It’s not the sex. It’s the cringy romantic bullshit typically surrounding it where everyone treats each other like shit for the sake of drama.

      My wife is super into romcoms and I believe they lead people into thinking that highscool-level illogic drama is the norm for adult relationships when it’s really not.

        I suspect that is true as well. Most of the really dramatic girls I’ve known have been super into romcoms and reality TV. If not causing the behavior they are at least reinforcing it.
