I am not against the romance between men or women, what's more, if you take it seriously, it is a subject that has a lot of social weight, and can give a good story that expands your point of view. (I will not deny that I like yaoi and yuri, but I don´t like stories of only sex, rape, or gender roles)

I like romance (Especially if it is well done), not because I am a woman, but because I like the stories that deeply involve the character, his/her feelings, and how it affects his environment.
I understand why romance is usually underestimated, especially as a genre (In fact, from my point of view, a "harem" is not romance, just sad delusions), but many romantic stories are worth reading.
