Why aren't guys romantic anymore?
I like romance... but every guy I've dated isn't romantic

I don't have time for relationships or to be romantic. I'm too busy trying to get up on my feet so I can help the world and leave some kind of mark. This means I don't have time to convince or persuade a woman to like me more than anybody else they prefer. I'd rather be your friend if that is the case. At least that is part of the reason why I don't do the "I'm your prince charming crap." Yes, time-time is an issue for me.
I'd rather be your friend in my spare time then when my guy hormones rage pay 2000-10,000 for a professional escort to give me what I want. (Don't worry I use condoms and get tested)

Maybe it's naive of me, but is it not "leaving some kind of mark" to make a big impact in someone's life?

Knowing that I've made a girl that I love and care about, and that loves and cares about me, feel like the most important person in the world is kind of a great feeling for me (granted such opportunities are in short supply these days lol). I'd hope doing the same for me, also leaves them with a great feeling. For all the downsides these concepts can come with, this is what romance and/or even marriage means to me. If you take all the legal and religious stuff out of it. It's making one persons life that dream that they always imagined growing up. That's a beautiful mark to leave.

Life can get in the way of that a bit, since it doesn't always go the way you hope... which is why this is probably a naive sentiment. But that's romance to me. Doing everything you can to make that kind of impact in the life of someone you really care about.

Practically, Logistically, and Mathmatically speaking, it is a waste of time to focus on a single person only. You have to help enough people to reduce the number of people who have not experienced change for the good. Helping one individual person, will only see a reduction in the number of people getting help, as they grow.

A scenario, you are one person, there are three people in your life. You help your love, and not the other two. Now the other two have had three children each. Let's say you have one child, that one child has to now help six, instead of your two. Even if you all have three children, that leaves three children who are not helped, instead of the two from before.

Now, leaving one's mark is also considered to require 30% of the population recognizing you as being above average. A person who has gone above and beyond what others have. It is a competition, and you have proven to be a AAA competitor, if not 1st place.
What is this nonsense? The "mark" that's left can ONLY be valued by the person leaving it, unless you're actually egomaniacal enough to think you could possibly be of this arbitrary 30% that decides if someone else's life had meaning and/or their time was wasted.

Or if their "mark" somehow impacted you personally.

The more people that value us, the greater a mark we left. That value has to fit with our ethics, and morals.
Leaving ones mark is knowing we'll be remembered after we're gone. The amount of people remembering has absolutely nothing to do with it, and it's value is determined by the person that left it and the gravity of those it impacted.

This has gone so far past the idea of relationships that I kind of think I'm done here. I'm not interested in waxing philosophic with you, especially when some of your ideas just come across as very selfish and arrogant... undeservedly so.

I'm content with my legacy being with that of the handful of people I love and care about most throughout my life. Doing my best for them. That would hold great value to me. If you think that's wrong or my time is wasted because 30% of the world doesn't recognize me, then I feel sorry for you.

That's what was directly implied.

How about using a game site for gaming and looking elsewhere for dating purposes?

Just a thought.
