Romance is Dead. ...Or is It?

I recently had a friend tell me she hated romance movies because no man was actually like any of the men in the romance movies.  I happen to love romance movies.  So I was thinking about our conversation and (most) women's love of this genre.  

Now, I'm not saying that men don't possess some good qualities, but a lot of men really lack the "romance bone."  And when we watch a movie where the man makes this big, romantic gesture, we sigh and wish our significant other would perform such a gesture.  Do we realize that you will never be Hugh Grant?  Yes.  Hugh Grant isn't even Hugh Grant.  So then why do we watch, and why do we hold on to a tiny glimmer of hope that one day we will get that gesture?

Why else would we date?!  Ha.

But seriously.
