I knew someone was going to say something like this

But, honestly, if you took a poll of young straight women on whether they would prefer to read a straight or m/m romance, you would overwhelmingly see them pick straight.

DA

No shit? The world revolves around heterosexual relationships. Some people don't even know that m/m romance exists. Now I'm not sure if you live in a rock, stupid or just trolling.

A lot of straight young women haven't been exposed to a lot of m/m romance, though. Unless you're involved in fandom or know where to seek it out, it's not exactly easy to find. There's also the fact that women like m/m romance is seen as "icky" and has a lot of stigma attached to it (i.e. women who like it are "weird" or maybe even ~gay~ themselves... weird logic, but it does exist). I'm sure there are a fair number of straight women that would prefer het over m/m even if they had been exposed to more m/m romance, but there's a lot more than just preferring a het relationship over seeing two men together at play here.
