| Tbh, most movies dont portray men that way. Especially the ones geared towards women. Strong, attractive guy with options meets girl, they fall in love, he does something bad, she leaves, he does a big gesture to show he's changed, they get back together..the end. Bottom line is, if a chick likes you, a big romantic gesture isn't going to send her running. If she lost attraction for you and dumps you, thats a different story. The movies actually arent so far off. If the chick is attracted to you, a big gesture is seen as romantic, if she is not, it's seen as desperate.
The movies do have some truth in them. They aren't going to market unattractive/desperate men as love interests to women if that's their demographic. That's like marketing unattractive fat women as love interests in male movies. Women do like romantic gestures when from an attractive man with strength. The men in these movies doing these "desperate" things, have stuff going from them, they have options. Women want to feel chosen, and the men in the movies who "beg", are begging from a place of "I can get other women, but I want you", not "I am begging because I will die alone without you."
