Why don't you start your romance novel about pirates with a woman falling overboard while on a cruise. She can be saved by a pirate and your romance can ensue.
Romance is a two-way street. It shouldn't be all about how much a man provides for a woman (though providing for a woman is wonderful). Women should offer equal input into the relationship as well. There's nothing wrong with a woman bringing her man a surprise gift now and then!
