After meditating for a while I realized why I prefer yuri anime to anime depicting heterosexual romance even when I'm a straight male.
Yuri shows (actual yuri shows, not yuri bait trash) explore the romantic relationship and build it slowly from the beginning of the story. You have a direct look at both girls' feelings, their internal turmoil, their happiness and suffering and they can allow themselves to do that because they're intended to be romance shows and nothing more.
Meanwhile heterosexual romance is either shoehorned as part of a non-romantic story, or exists just to be a vehicle for fanservice and harem hijinks. So, you have a 13, 26 or 52 episodes story featuring an unremarkable male with no personality, interactions with the girls that go nowhere, WHAT? DID YOU SAY SOMETHING? I COULDN'T HEARD YOU BECAUSE THE FIREWORKS ARE TOO LOUD, and a rushed love confession at the very end of the last episode so as an audience you never get to enjoy the relationship. Hell, many times they don't even kiss; meanwhile on yuri shows you get the kiss pretty earlier.
Tsuki ga Kirei was a pretty good hetero romance because you had those two dumb teenagers slowly opening and realizing that they loved each other.
So basically you like good romance and dislike bad romance? It doesn't seem to be a yuri vs het thing.

het relationships are almost always forced and written like trash, and the one's that aren't still feel like shit because the vast majority of other attempts completely flop

>male and female >will they, won't they drawn out and ultimately unfulfilling >girl is a bitch and the guy is an idiot >as soon as they kiss it ends, that is if they ever kiss
>female and female >too cute and lovey dovey and boring >both girls are super girly >they kiss and hold hands and nothing more
>male and male >spaghetti spilling, guys getting pissed, confused boners, and borderline rape >one guy is a horndog and the other is the girl(male) of the couple >straight up fucking and they get together and it's just the first arc

OP, there are plenty of reasons to like yuri over het, but basically this () is what it sounds like to me. Because what you describe in the second paragraph concerning heterosexual romance can just as easily happen in yuri, or yaoi romance.
And honestly, there's nothing wrong with that. Being able to enjoy a romance, any romance, really just comes down to how much you care about the characters involved.
Yuri shows are garbage you are probably refering to Shoujo-ai and i agree it is much more pure that hetshit
Connor Collins
I also agree Tsuki ga Kirei was really good, one of the few good hetero romances out there

Makes sense actaully, come to think of it Tsuki ga kirei is one the few sole romance animes where we have an amazing develpment, where many fields are explore. but yuri shows though, like how are you suppose to self insert?? Got em.
