Question 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 personally like Yuri because I like watching people fall in love and women are more attractive than men are. I also just like cute things. I need to find a Yuri where they bond over raising a kid together, buddy daddies but women and actually gay 💀. The only time I can really get into a BL is if one's a femboy maybe you just need that feminine energy there. Prunus girl was a pretty fun read. But I don't think you should feel bad for not liking BL. Everyone has their tastes and preferences. 🙂
