I would gather some of the "tough guys" consider it feminine to be a guy who needs romance or to express tender type feelings. It just doesn't suit every person. I can see that.
Lots of women want the "strong silent type". It's only when sitting around, drinking coffee, in feminist focus groups that they give the impression that they want a good conversationalist. Most women find that too intimidating. Besides, such a man will eventually say (or imply) something they don't like. SST never do that.

They, like a weather vane, generally don't know what they want.
For the longest time, SST meant Super Sonic Transport...the Concorde. I then realized it's the Clint Eastwood type.
Being romantic is more of a drawback in todays dating world more than anything else, especialy when talking about men. I write poetry for example, its been my hobby since I was a young boy, but I rarely mention it when dating, because its a turn off.
I am a non-romantic, I hate flowers, and I don't watch romances. But someone being inspired enough to write something for me? That's amazing! (as long as it reflects me) Don't know why you think this is out -- it's not. But if you are writing a flowery sonnet to a girl who hates romance, that is probably the wrong peom. But let's say you choose a different style, it works.
Most of the guys I know/met don't have a romantic bone in their body.
From my experiences these men aren't romantic they just do romantic actions and say romantic things to get sex.
Considering how it seems 'romance = way to get sex' to many men and the disdain for women's romance books/movies I don't think these guys or their way of going about things is uncommon or the minority.
Being romantically interested in a person doesn't constitute as being romantic to me. Romantically interested to me is being interested in a relationship with such a person aka having an emotional attachment or liking the person. Though perhaps that's implying the depth of how romantic men can be..?..
many confuse romance with love
love is much deeper and not near as much fun and not nearly as much appreciated as romance.
usually love is taken for granted and even held in contempt but not romance.
most women would prefer romance but take love bek it is so much more useful and enduring.
love puts up with your baloney
romance never
Everytime I've done something "romantic" the tide shifted in a relationship from "going well" to "I think we should stop seeing each other".
All we really have to go on in life is personal life experiences, and mine have shown me NOT to buy flowers, do NOT plan dates, do NOT spend a lot of money and show effort in the date.
If I keep doing the same things I can only expect the same results. Men who treat women with less importance and show less effort and less romanticism seem to have better success.
I don't know what world you live in but if a guy doesn't show his interest and not trying to be romantic with me then I can not think he is taking me seriouse but more like short term until he is trying to get something he wants.
Don't let this change you, just because few woman dissapointed.
