I am just thankful that the Authors write what they do, so that we the readers can enjoy……Thank you.

The only comment I have to add is that you could say it’s a common fact that women who read romances have more satisfying marriages

LOL! Great comeback!

The real trouble is their comment always blindsides me.
That’s why I need to practice replies.

“They say love makes the world go ’round, but really, it’s smut.”

“Yes, writing smut is a terrible job, but someone has to rake in all that profit.”

“Why, yes, I DO write smut. Thank you SO much for asking…” (Said with a dreamy smile)

And of course, there’s the sweet/snotty answering their rude query with a question of your own that demeans their career path, such as:

“Do you chase ambulances?” (lawyer)

“Do you count beans?” (accountant)

“Are you a quack?” (doctor)

Seriously, though, have pity on those poor souls who never left the playground, and can’t think of anything more imaginative to ask you.
