Is reading too many romance novels bad for you?

Everytime I finish reading a romance novel, I was always feel as though I'm still sucked into that world and I want to read more. Do you think that reading a lot of romantic books are bad for you?Is reading too many romance novels bad for you?
Yes. I used to watch a lot of movies when I was a big-time loner because I wasn't getting any social feelings and interaction which the movies somehow provided. I think you're definitely getting too much from these novels. When you meet someone, you will inevitably compare your relationship to all these fantasies in your books. Real life and marriage is SO different than what you think it would have been like.



Plus, I think there's a lot more important books to read, namely nonfiction. Current affairs, politics, history, and other such topics are primarily what I read to be better informed and guarded from nationalistic propaganda.
No, I know exactly how you feel but you will work through it. You will eventually get tired of them so it will all work out. But nothing that has to do with reading is bad for you!Is reading too many romance novels bad for you?
i dont see how it can be bad for you as long as you have enough romance in your real life.
No. Everyone has a different way to "escape." Yours actually keeps your brain healthy!Is reading too many romance novels bad for you?
it is if you are ten years old

obsessed might be an explanation for someones over indulgence. but it's hollywood for God's sake read books that teach something. even forensic case files are better than the garbage of the universe
Reading is wonderful just try to keep in mind that books (fiction) are not reality. Especially romance books. Keeping the "romantic" outlook may laed to heartbreak
OMG! i feel the same way after i am done

no its not bad 4 u
Reading is always great for you brain, wheter it's romance novels down to comics. However, reading too many romance novels can deter you from finding love because you may find yourself holding the standards so high to meet the ones you read in your book. I know a lot of woman who have a hard time because they can't find love like the way they read it in the books.
That's how I feel when I finish any book, and I've only touched maybe five romance novels in my life.

There's nothing wrong with it, and it's definitely not bad for you. I'd say it's a great thing because it means you want to read (and so many people these days just don't).

If you're still worried, you could always pick up a different genre of book to switch it up a notch every once in a while.
Well, I don't think that it is (and I know perfectly well that feeling),

but my friend once send me something from an article that said that when people read romance books where there are 'perfect' guys or girls, then it's harder for them to actually find someone special in their life, because they will be basing them off of the books' characters.

Honestly, I don't think that it's true, but oh well..
as long as you aren't turning down "real life" activities in order to read all of the time! Reading is great, but it can be an escape, which is okay sometimes. If you feel like you are spending more time with books than real people, set yourself a limit of reading time. then, enjoy the books during that time, and enjoy your real life the rest of the time!
Nah, it just means it;s a good book if you feel like that.
I was the same way as a teen. Everyone told me it was creating unrealistic expectations of what love/relationships are really like when you're older. I can honestly say years later that that was BS. No, you may not meet the prince on the white horse, but the emotion you crave from the book can be found in real relationships--at least that's how I feel about my husband. I think the books teach you not to settle.
It's making you crave that passion you read about. Maybe you are desiring your own fantasy to play out similar to the ones in the books your reading. I say....read on!
no. why should it be? reading is never bad unless its po rn.
I think it can be bad. But it definitely isn't always bad, it's reading and escapism.



It's when the escapism becomes permanent that it's an issue. I have been watching several friends (all 20 and older) slowly slip into Twilight-dementia, and they're probably never going to accept the fact that glittery vampire boys just aren't real. It's sort of sad, actually...
I say read what you want....who cares as long as you are reading! I often feel the same way......and it doesn't have to be a romance either.
If you maintain a healthy love and social life, then no its not. But its if causes you to find flaws in man/woman and you find you are spending more time reading then socializing, then yes that is unhealthy.
I don't think so. I read romance novels, and have been for four years. I don't know if you'll ever get bored of them, like has been said. But if you're really worried about them being bad for you, try to find one that isn't only about the romance.
