This does not square with my experience of female gamers. The most common complaint I get from women at the table is that they're bored by number-crunching and cautious exploration, and want to fast-forward to the part where they get to strew monster guts all over the dungeon (preferably described by the DM in graphic detail). As far as relationships go, it's mostly seducing bad guys to gain the advantage over them, or casual sex with no consequences. The only players I've ever seen looking for...

I think their are factors that make romance in campaigns more likely. A DM can increase their chances of romance or other high roleplay options by just creating a more interactive world.
