Is it normal that i'm a girl who absolutely hates romance films?
I'm not saying that all girls like romance films, novels, etc, or should even feel obligated to be interested in them/like them, but I just find it odd that I can't stand them.
Now, don't get me wrong. I have "fangirled" over some romantic things(like when I have a crush on someone, for instance), but it's very rare when I do.
I hate romance movies and novels, and basically anything having to do with such. I honestly have tried to get into them, but I just end up losing interest in them and switch to something else--most often horror movies. I feel that any romantic aspect to a storyline really kills it for me--though, once again I stress that this is not always, just most of the time.
I will admit that I typically like horror movies, scary video-games, and true-life crime stories about serial killers. Once again, I'm not saying that girls are unable to like these things, but it seems the majority of the ones I've met do not. Mind you, I like plenty of other stuff that's cutesy, so I am not just a one-note sort of person.
Personality-wise, I'm a cheerful, shy, and very passive individual and am in no way dark, or disturbed. My imagination, however, is a tad morbid, but I'm sure that to some extent, everyones' is.
So, the question stands: am I really that odd?
Oh, and quick side-note: My father introduced me to horror films when I was young. Perhaps that has something to do with it?
