I get that you don't like romances, but your disliking them doesn't make them objectively terrible. Plenty of people love fantasy romance, paranormal romance, even green humanoid alien romance.

I occasionally dip into the romance genre and have found many excellent romance novels. One of my favorites is
Valentine Bachelors. In it, three men are sitting in a bar on New Year's Eve, none of them have dates. During a conversation with the Bartender, they hit upon the idea of advertising for a date in the Personals, and make a bet over who will have the best date. Let's just say that what happens with each of them is a surprise. It's the type of romance stories I like, set in the present and is a combination of romance and humor.
