for any guy forced to watch a chick flick!!!

Hey guys, so what’s happening man? This is post is actually for any guy that has ever been forced to watch a chick flick, usually in the hopes of scoring, during or after that movie, what you are about to read, might surprise you. Funny thing, I was online earlier looking for something to talk to you guys about when I came across this pretty “interesting” article that was written by this famous female historian from the prestigious Oxford University. It was a really really long article, don’t worry I won’t bore with all the details, but I have to admit, it did get me thinking. The article stated that, 90 percent of every film that is written and directed in Hollywood is done so by men. Even if it is a chick- flick. Now if you still don’t catch my drift, let me put it very simply for you. A majority of chick- flicks that you have been “forced” to sit through, are actually accounts of what a male perceives a woman as being!! Which got me thinking, why exactly are guys so pissed off or embarrassed to watch a chick flick with their girlfriends, is it because, it’s expected that men are suppose to kick up a fuss when it comes to the date nights that has the girlfriend, choosing the movie, or is it because, subconsciously, you and me, really love our girlfriends and don’t want any other guy, especially someone we don’t know, putting our girlfriends into categories that we don’t find attractive in members of the opposite sex......I know it might be abit of a stretch, but I mean, just think about it. We hate girls that are clingy, shallow, obsessive, and dumb and stalker- ish. For example in the movies Bridewars and Confessions of a Shopaholic, lead female characters in them were weight obsessed, label obsessed, man obsessed and wedding obsessed!! In the movies Confessions of a Shopaholic, Isla Fisher, plays a wanabe fashionista who lives for designer clothes and would happily fight to the death (300 style) for a pair of Gucci boots going on sale..........Obsessive and shallow trait in females we hate –CHECK!..... Other movies like He’s Just Not That into You (HJNTITY) are about women overly desperate for commitment from the men in their lives.......Obsessive and clingy trait- DOUBLE CHECK! In the movie All About Steve, Sandra Bullock plays a stalker who chases her one night stand across the country in the hopes that they will get married........Dumb, stalker-ish and obsessive trait in women we hate –TRIPLE CHECK!......now I could go on and on and on about all these other films that paint women in a negative picture (which they probably don’t intend to do), but I won’t. However I will leave you with this to think about. Next time your girlfriend wants you to watch a chick flick with her, you could either;

1. Let her know that you like her too much to have some fool of a “profit- driven- producer”, make her look bad and explain this whole blog post to her. Now doing this can get you out of that 3 hours from hell and you will definitely give her the impression that you “treasure” her dearly. (Which will inevitably score you some points) or you could

2. Spend some time doing what she wants to do while having a huge smile on your face for 2 reasons, one being, you know that your girlfriend will appreciate you not acting like all her friends boyfriends and kicking up a fuss about watching a chick- flick and two, knowing the fact that you know, the first reason for smiling, and that your girlfriend will probably REALLY make it up to you........both ways you’re a happy man!!!

So there you have it, trustworthy evidence that chick flicks are good for two things:

1. Painting women in a negative picture and

2. Definitely putting a “smile on your face” after the date night.....or if you’re really really lucky, twice that night!
