Is it normal that i don’t like ‘romantic gestures’

I've gotta wonder what your family life was like when you were growing up.

We all learn a set of rules for relationships, gender roles and the amount of emotions it's acceptable to express from our parents. If we're lucky and our parents had a respectful, emotionally honest and mutually supportive relationship, then it's possible for us to easily move into a similar relationship when we're adults. If someone grows up in a family where emotions are viewed as dangerous and something to be kept locked away, then it can be difficult to deal with them in a positive way when we're adults, and we need to learn how to do so on our own.

You seem to be suffering under the delusion that real men are incapable of feeling strong emotional attachment, or if they do, they never express it. That makes me wonder if your father was either emotionally cold, or if he expressed such emotions often and you came to see that as manipulative or negative for some other reason.

You're obviously free to continue to believe that expressing affection and complimenting you is "girly", but I'd suggest that if your mental model of the ideal man remains a guy who keeps his emotions under tight control at all times, then you're very likely heading for problems. A healthy relationship requires that both people be capable of expressing their feelings and understanding and empathising with the feelings of the other. If one or both of the people keep their true feelings concealed, the most likely result is that one day everything suddenly blows up with no warning at all.

So you're saying you like to express your emotions but don't like it when guys do?

I think that manly men are the ones who do gestures and dares to show emotion. I've dated a few inexperienced, immature guys and they never did romantic gestures of any kind and was terrified of displaying emotions and avoided it to every degree. Of course men who cry all the time are quite obnoxious and probably a bit unstable, but that goes for women as well.
Romantic gestures can get out of hand, it's cringy if it gets too cheesy, but once in a while it's sweet and shows he cares.
If you want someone who never lets you know he loves you though, it sounds like you want someone emotionally unavailable and there's plenty of those guys... Just go right ahead and pick one. They're almost the easiest ones to find because they're easy in general except when it comes to any real deep relationship.

I don't care for the way you define masculinity. Shit, every one of my exes said, "I love you", to me first. The biggest badasses, the most masculine ones were usually comfortable being emotional, and I remember this one who cried the first time he told me he loved me.

I don't care for archaic, two dimensional stereotypes about masculinity, it's stupid.

There are five love languages. It would seem that words of affirmation just isn't one of yours.

For perspective, you should take a break from sissies. Make friends with this guy. Then you will discover the detriments of excessive masculinity.
