Romance is mostly fiction. When practiced in real life it just comes off as simpy, "nice" and $oy

Women don't desire romance, they desire resources. Romance is what a man tries to offer when he has no resources. It gives them the ick.

Is it really possible for a woman to be the missing piece of a man, or are they always going to be little monkeys hanging off your shoulder biting your testicles?

Romance was literally conceived by the rich out of boredom. It is unnatural.

Wrong. Women desire resources from betas. Women desire the feelings they want from alpha males. The alpha male is a hard rock on which they lean and can feel soft. The masculinity is desired because it makes them feel feminine. Tall men because it makes them feel small. Strong men because it makes them feel light like they weigh nothing. Aggressive and selfish men because it makes them feel kind and feminine.

your attention, care, devotion, time, etc. ARE resources and romance is just a euphemism used to justify extracting all of those from you on top of all the other stuff (all with their own genteelisms, of course).

This. Women never cared. Romance is a concept created by men.

I learned this during my naive phase, when I spent great effort planning the "perfect" dates, just to have her cancel at the last minute to come over and just fuck her instead.
