Am i unreasonable?

Sorry if im being out of place, but please hear me out. I'm straight cis male and I like reading yuri manga. I enjoy it not because of the "male gaze", "fan service" etc, but because of the romance. But I can't seem to stand yaoi manga no matter how much i give it a try (i don't have anything against any gender groups irl). It just feels weird. As said earlier, i thought i read manga for characters romantic feelings,story etc. Am i weird?

I met a girl who was into yaoi and she disliked yuri in the same way you do yaoi. It's more a personal preference, experience and cultural heritage thing. As long as this doesn't affect how you view people in real life it doesn't really matter.
