The sentence

> 男子より女子の方がロマンチックよ。

apparently translates to

> Girls are more romantic than boys.

But I'm having trouble parsing this. First off, where is the sentence's verb?
Second, the literal translation seems to be something like:

> ((Young men than) young women)'s direction romantic

Is this correct? If so, it doesn't seem to make any sense to me.

question
grammar translation comparative-constructions
男子より女子の方がロマンチックよ。
より is used to compare things, 方 can have differents meanings depending the
context (as usual in japanese), here it's used to make comparaison, opposed as
より.

So 男子より -> Compared to (young)men, 女子のほうがロマンチックよlady are (more) romantic!

> where is the sentence's verb?

After ロマンチック, the copula です(だ) is omitted in this sentance but it's your
"verb" "to be" (kind of)
