Why wouldn't men want to see romance films? You don't think Rick enjoyed himself (in his own twisted way) chasing Ilsa?

They're usually unrealistic with regard to how men behave. This is the quality that makes women like them and men tend to not.

They're also unrealistic with regard to how women behave. Which is the quality that makes men like them. Ilsa is great; and unrealistic.

Another difference to note is that women tend to like their portrayal in these movies. Men tend to not - They're generally put forward as either a blundering idiot unaware of what's going on around him OR an ultra-romantic connoisseur of women and all that pleases them.

Then why do men like non-romance movies, where men also behave just as unrealistically in most scripts?

Because entertainment value outweighs emasculation.
