They say the romance genre is ruining the dating scene by creating unrealistic expectations from men. But the unattainable standard set by fictional men is creating a problem for women, as well.
The modern dating scene is a jungle that provides an endless supply of horror stories, and if we're being honest, the female faction could probably tell toe-curling tales that would last through the ages. Throw into the mix men written by women for the sole purpose of checking off every fantasy box in the female mind, and suddenly imaginary becomes way more appealing than reality. After all, once you meet the tall, dark, devastatingly handsome, worships-the-ground-you-walk-on man of your dreams—the fictional part seems insignificant.
Next thing you know, real-life men aren't cutting it, and your dating life is as fictional as the men you're in love with. Men often complain about this phenomenon, but this mindset hurts the ladies as well. Romance readers are fully aware that a living, breathing boyfriend will never live up to the "I burn for you" and "you are the bane of my existence and the object of all my desires" standards, yet are reluctant to settle for less. Can you really blame them?
