I would say that the numbers are smaller now for BOTH genders than there once was, but I know that there are still men out there who believe in romanticism and nonsexual pursuit of a woman's heart. How do I know this? I am one of such men, and I am friends with several others, men who look at a lady and see a partner, not a toy.
Strangely enough though, all of us have been rejected by woman who have instead gone to men more "modern" you might say.
So I guess the pendulum swings both ways. I know there are men like this, and I believe in my heart that there are woman like this. The question is: will they find each other, and recognize each other for the jewel they are?
P.S. This may require looking for candidates who aren't the best jock or the smoothest talking.

You don't know every man, so stop judging.
Love finds you, you can't make it come to you.
Yes there are men who believe in REAL LOVE and not sex. You could just be attracting and warranting attention from the wrong person.
And, this is the definition of romanticism: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanticism
"Romanticism was an artistic and intellectual movement that originated in late 18th century Western Europe. In part a revolt against aristocratic social and political norms of the Enlightenment period and a reaction against the rationalization of nature. In art and literature it stressed strong emotion as a source of aesthetic experience, placing a new emphasis on such emotions as trepidation, horror, and the awe experienced in confronting the sublimity of nature."
Please do not use such a term in the wrong context making no sense.

True Love is not romanticism. Romance fades, true love does not.
Classic love is a misnomer. Classically marriages were arranged and had nothing to do with love.
There are as many men who believe in True Love as there are women who do. Far too often, women use sex as a controlling tool.
If your real question is "Why do the men I meet want sex with me and not a romantic or loving relationship?" Just remember that it takes two to have a relationship and you are one of the two. You might ask yourself the question "What am I doing to attract men who only want sex?"

yes - some of us still believe in Romance, but believe me it has nothing to do with sex!!!!
If you find one of us (there must be more than just me :P), you can tell because the romantic gestures don't stop as soon as you let em in your knickers. That's just a jerk buttering you up..
I for example, would treat the woman I love like a princess from day one, right through until I physically wasn't able to - wether or not sex came into the equation at all..
You may be confusing love and lust there...
Everyone agrees you can have sex without being in love - why is it so difficult to accept the other way round?

Michelle, "Oldman" said it as well as anybody could. I would just add this: Some people love to quote the "trying on the shoes before you buy them" line, and hold that up as if it were a "given". Well, here is another old saying which is more truthful. "Why buy the cow when you can milk her through the fence?" Another poster warned against "testing" the guys you date. Just what do you suppose "trying on the shoes" is? Is that not a test? Yes, it is, and an unfair one at that, because it forces you to go against your principles. It has been my experience that a good man really doesn't want a girl who has been used by every other guy she has dated. I believe that there is NOTHING WHICH YOU CAN NOT LEARN about performing sexually. That includes how to be a wonderful lover, and a true comfort to the man who honestly loves you, and has your best interest at heart. Let your conscience, your principles, and your good sense be your guide.

Your question makes no sense to me. Why would men be any different now than say 20, 40, 60 years ago??? Men do not associate sex with love, like women do. Some men are more romantic than others. Some women are more loving than others.

I will warn you. You are looking for a diamond, so rare yet, when you found it, all your efforts are worth it. Men nowadays just act like they do because of peer pressure. It takes a very wonderful male being not to be prejudiced by friends. Good luck on your search!
