PS Maybe some men need to learn how to romance a woman. Woman who have been working all their lives in jobs don't want to get married when marriage seems to offer nothing more but the demands of yet another job.
One thing you really notice about Japanese manga (comic books) for girls is that they're saturated with romance stories. It's as if Japanese girls & young women are desperate for it, and find it only in the fantasy of these "soft-core" shoujo manga. Meanwhile, the "boy manga" (shonen) are saturated with babes, boobs, mechas, alienated biker-type guys. Talk about men from Mars & women from Venus.
