That's a bit harsh, many people enjoy romance novels & romantic movies. Do you think "hmmm should I even consider being friends with this person, as they obviously can not find any affection IRL or are obsessed with sex?" when someone goes "Ooh, I really liked [a romance novel/movie]! I liked how X was and Y developed, and I liked Z a lot too."? I'm willing to bet you don't.
Some people enjoy romance novels. Some enjoy romantic movies. Some enjoy romance sub-plots in video games. Some (like you) seem to want to keep romance in the real world, but that's no reason to generalize every single person who likes fictional romance.
Anyway, to the topic at hand.
I played through the MConsular romance on my main and liked it, although it felt sort of rushed seen as you only pick up your romantic interest after Belsavis, meaning you get a tonne of affection from dialogue choices so after 1 planet you can grind off nearly every companion quest one after another. But I'm interested to see how it develops through further content patches & expansions.
I played the SW Jaesa romance on my alt and liked it as well, DSJaesa seems to be pretty much the complete opposite of Nadia [MConsular romance] personality wise, and it was fun to get to see an emotional side to someone who's pretty bloodthirsty and crazy.
