I feel like with movies like wedding crashers and when harry met Sally the emphasis is more on the comedy than on the romance part and the main characters are the guys. Usually more absurdist or macho humor. So it appeals to guys more.
Whereas a more "chick" romcom has more emphasis on the romance than the comedy. Is usually more down to earth in its humor. Probably a good example is "you've got mail."
I’m not really a huge fan of “macho” comedy (Will Ferrell and Ben Stiller in particular. I really, really don’t like Will Ferrell’s schtick), so… Interestingly I don’t particularly mind either.
I just found “You’ve Got Mail” a bit boring/mawkish, but I didn’t hate it…
Didn’t like Notting Hill. Quite liked 4 Weddings…
Who knows, honestly.
I’m not really one for the whole “gender stereotypes” when it comes to movies, or tv, or music.
Yet I like sports, and cars, and motorbikes, and “outdoorsy shit” (inc. shit like skydiving, bungee jumping, canyoning, etc), and very, very much only like women (some might say “too much”, lol), so…
Dunno. I’m really not a fan of putting people into boxes with this stuff. Never have been.

Probably true I guess.
I still kind of like both, tbh.
