Gen Z is turned off by onscreen sex, a new study finds. Those born between 1997 and 2012 apparently prefer to see platonic relationships in film and TV.
My wife is super into romcoms and I believe they lead people into thinking that highscool-level illogic drama is the norm for adult relationships when it's really not.
I suspect that is true as well. Most of the really dramatic girls I've known have been super into romcoms and reality TV. If not causing the behavior they are at least reinforcing it.
