Yeah, Yuri is so lame, I don't know why anyone likes it. The only exception is when it's done right, like Hakari and Karane in 100 girlfriends.
I don´t know if this is sarcasm since I dont know the manga you are referencing, but what´s lame about it?

The fact that it's two girls. Anyways, it's just not my cup of tea. (Btw I hate bl 1000 times more than Yuri, so there is that at least)

I also enjoy Yuri because it's really cute, but only if it's a joke ship or a side ship. I prefer the main ship to be straight.
I get that. It can be a lot more rewarding if you´re able to connect to the protagonists on a deeper level. I do find a lot of male protagonists annoying, because they are often portrayed as really wimpy and shy or completely dense. For some reason or another, I find this is less of an issue with yuri manga.
I recently read a manga, where the protag is this incredibly straight-forward guy, trying to date is gyaru childhood friend, and it was very refreshing

Do you have any recommendations?

There's always 100 girlfriends, that manga definitely doesn't have a dense protagonist lol. (And has a few Yuri moments here and there) But it is incredibly unhinged and should not be taken seriously lol. It is a harem manga (obviously, there's a hundred girlfriends) but it doesn't really have any annoying harem tropes in it.

I haven't finished reading this one but it looks pretty funny, (also the protag doesn't seem to be dumb as bricks yet) the name of the manga is Aharen-san wa hakarenai.

Also your comment about male protags being weak reminded me of this manga where the girlfriend and the boyfriend's roles were kind of reversed, which I kind of like so I'll just leave the name here: Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie. Btw all three of these have anime adaptations.

I think u now understand how peak the Yuri is.
nope, I only like it when it's very cute or overly sexual. even so, it's a one and done experience, I likely won't go back to re-read, unless it's like super fucking funny.

And Yuri romance? definite pass. most of them are sappy af.

just avoid mainstream shounen romcoms lol, there are very few exceptional ones. They're like fodder for the masses, of course they're gonna be as tame and boring as possible plus the wishy washy protag is a good cop out to extend the story past its due date.

which one? this? Tedama ni Toritai Kurokiya-san

Also here's another recommendation: Arakure Ojousama Wa MonMon Shiteiru

what's with the double standards?
yuri is just another trash in the fetish bin,
don't gas it up like it's the best thing ever,
especially to people who don't even enjoy it.
and fix your grammar.
