While that is understandable, it also contradicts somethings and puts certain relationships at a standstill. For example, Spike's crush on Rarity. Though it appears he is too young to attempt to 'woo' her.

If romance was the constant focus for the main characters, then yes, it can be a problem because it would slow down episodes and shift focus of the show. But it certainly isn't the elemental 'down fall' of shows aimed at females. Perhaps it is the males who work on the show, and their lack of understanding what 'over romanticizing' would result in.
