@sofiarose.writes: This is NOT a post that’s hating on women reading romance books. Keeping reading girly. This is a post about how straight men have been approaching dating lately. I have SO MANY amazing single girl friends that just can’t find a man who will step up. So many of them are intimidated by ambitious and driven women. This is also not a post just meant to bash men, but to draw attention to a deeper issue affecting our society. #BookTok #fantasyromance

I dont think men are opposed to growing & being better humans capable of love I think they just dont see the point. When you see the system constantly rewarding narcissistic & anti-intellectual behavior many just dont see a point in wanting to be “better”. Also stems from a personal lack of positive male role models

Soo real. And in alot of the books the ML isnt spending thousands of dollars either. Its genuine love, and he adores her the best way he can

men wouldnt be opposed to growing, if society didn't hold us down and punish most of us for being better. the patriarchy hurts men as well

depends on the romance novel readers.. some use it to feed their fantasies.. while some truly just crave the romance aspect..

What traits do fictional men have that real men don’t?

in what ways do you think men need to grow to match romance novels?

Im sorry but wasnt 50 Shades of Grey the most popular romance book not even a decade ago? Definitely a very misogynistic book.

100% The fact that I've heard from so many women that self-reflection, emotional development, and personal growth is a rarity in men now is horribly disheartening 😕

It’s literally killing them. That’s what’s truly sad. They want to be saved but their not children anymore

I am late to realizing that the bar for romance is low. Was telling my friends this and yeah, their tone dropped and got so serious. Everyone deserves to be loved and guys need to do more in general

What’s crazy is most ML are super flawed and the FL knows this but their vulnerability and appreciation for the FL is why they have success anyways!

It's hard but we do exist. I thought I was a good person for a long time but realized that wasn't enough - the patriarchy hard codes SO many harmful, isolationist and self destructive behaviors in us that we will likely spend most of our lives unlearning to the young men out there; stay well read, talk to lots of people (men and women) and always be open to new concepts also look up confirmation bias it will change your life 👊

For me it's complicated. I just am unsure of what it is I should be seeking out and or what it is I need to change, not to mention i already feel like its too late for me. Growing up all I saw was men and women hating one another in their marriages and that was the norm, alongside abuse, neglect and etc. Growing up, I would think to myself, "thats not going to be me!" Now I am unsure especially with how I feel about life these past few years, my attitude, feelings about certain things, not to mention lack of experience in dating, flirting, and etc. I fear I am far behind socially as well because I still don't pick up on social cues and or understand things like most people, and I feel like a potential partner wouldn't want to deal with that to be honest. When I was younger, I truly was looking forward to the future and my future queen. Now I am 26 and I feel like I don't even know what love is or should be, and or even feelings should feel like perse. I have decided that I'll probably be alone for the rest of my life, which I tell myself is fine but it actually kills me internally. All I try to do now is take care of my Mom and Sister, and I pray my Sister finds a good partner in this hellhole we call life. I hope all the women out there find their perfect partner, and I hope all the Men out there find their Queens. And others like me, I hope we can heal in some way in the near future.

I'm working on changing. Humans should never be stagnant in anything we do, especially in the heart. I think most do change, but for the worst, world teaches negativity all to easy.
