I'll need my cut. To ensure the fuzz doesn't catch wind of what's going on, of course.
Romantic comedies are typically chick flicks. My fave chick flicks are
How to lose a guy in ten days
Someone like you
When Harry met Sally
Autumn in New York
PS I love you
The only one I've seen out of that group is When Harry Met Sally. And I like both of the main characters in that so I'll give it a thumbs up.
I just Googled "Romantic Comedies" and was stunned by some of the movies that they deem "romantic comedies": The Wedding Singer (awesome), The Princess Bride (awesome), Clueless (very funny), Bull Durham (not a chick flick), and a few more were very surprising.
But while looking through the list, I did indeed see some that I would classify as "romantic comedies" and I liked them: Doc Hollywood, The Secret of My Success, Rumor Has It, Boomerang, The American President, Hitch, As Good As It Gets, Crazy, Stupid Love, and The Breakup. All good movies.
I've never understood why women like chick flicks. Why do you (the general 'you,' not you you) want to watch a movie that depicts a guy who's more handsome than you'll ever attract and treats the girl better and more thoughtfully and more perfectly than any guy ever has or ever will treat you....? Girls find that uplifting somehow. I'd find it depressing as shit.
BTW, I'm talking about true chick flicks that are more on the drama side of things. Not rom coms.
I see why you use Tinder.
Ironically enough, despite me talking about Tinder a lot in the past, any woman would be damn happy to have me so you can chill out, General Lingerdick
The problem is, women don't want good men. It amazes me how many women of my generation put up with -- or hell, even embrace -- being treated like shit by a guy. Nice guys truly do finish last. I treat whatever girl I'm dating like a queen. Doors, including car doors? I open them. When she walks into the room? I stand up. The bill for the dinner arrives? I pay for us both. She has a particularly bad day? I show up with flowers or her favorite candy. Chivalry may be dead, but I'm trying my best to keep that sumbitch on life support.
But nahhh, girls would rather have a dude who acts like a jackass to them, their friends, their parents, as long as he's attractive and has abs.
goddangit, now I'm waxing poetical about chick flicks and the psyche of women and shit. How did we get here? We need more OBWAT in this thread.
Whole damn state's goin' apey.

It's why their expectations are impossible to meet.
You are slaying it today. Whatever OOTB is paying you, it ain't enough.
It's the same reason guys watch porn: fantasy. It's about enjoyable but unrealistic scenarios that give no thought to what comes next after the movie ends. The only difference is that with porn, you get to rub one out to somebody's daughter.
Boom goes the dynamite.
This goes all the way back to the Disney princess crap they learn about at a tender young age. Also see: obsession with the royal family, People magazine, TV shows produced by Shonda Rhimes, boy bands, etc.

I think we put too much emphasis on looks, both men and women. We all want someone who is kind to us, "gets our quirks," finds us to be adorable at times, will gladly do things with us as well as give us freedom to do things with our friends, and really BE a good friend along with being whatever our idea of great in bed is, but we want that person to be good-looking too. I know attractiveness is subjective (Strum) but if we could get beyond our ideas of having typical good-looking people and seek out souls that meet our compatibility criteria, we'd probably all find there are TONS of great people out there to share our lives with.
I'm guilty myself. I saw THE most gorgeous man I have ever laid eyes on and was determined to find out who he was and get to know him and about a year later I was on a trip to Boston with him. But over time when I came off my cloud I realized he was a great person but not someone I'd want to live with, the looks weren't such a big deal Same with my ex-fiancé. I went ga-ga over his looks and did love him but after about a year and a half reality sunk in.
If we were all blind, oh how different things would be. When we see with only our eyes and not our hearts too, we really miss out, I think.
The fact that it IS someone's daughter makes it even better, tbh.
This is actually a great post. I don't claim to be some angelic man free from sin -- I do enjoy a girl that's very attractive -- but honestly as long as there's some level of attraction there, I can roll with it. Insert cliche about how if you find a woman who you really connect with, they become even more physically attractive in your eyes over time. It really is true though.
Is this the name of a movie, or was this you ending your poast by telling
@gunslingerdick how you really feel about him?
That is true. Back in college there was a guy that I just thought was SO unattractive and he chased me for a year. When I started thinking about how truly fun he was and intelligent I decided to go out with him. I admit the first kiss was weird but once I let go of this "looks" thing, I was all his. I loved that guy a long time. We broke up because I didn't want to get married but he stayed in touch for years until he found out I married someone else (a total douche bag!).
God, I hate chick flicks! They're all the same, "guy returns home with issues" or girl with kids returns home with issues, They meet, they fight, they fall in love, end of story. That damned Hallmark channel should be outlawed. What women see in those movies is beyond me, I guess its like porn for men, I don't know...
LOL. well yeah, the Hallmark channel sucks but some of the movies aren't THAT bad. Have you seen the Lifetime for Women channel???? It makes men look like the worst things on the planet. That's where I'm more like a guy, I can't stand that crap.
There's a Lifetime for Women channel? I thought the regular Lifetime was already for women. That'd be like an "ESPN for Men" channel.
Yeah, that's the other channel I was trying to think of, they both suck. Women just have no idea how bad men hate that crap.
Maybe they've dropped the "for women" part. I haven't watched it in years. I had a friend and she ALWAYS had the crap on. I told her I thought her hatred of men was from watching that stupid channel all day.
Oh gawd, my wife watches all those steaming piles of shit. I have to leave the room when she has them on... they are the worst!
What's the channel that like every movie is about cyber bullies or men stalking women or men meeting women online and then preying on them? It's Lifetime or something like that. I never watch it, but I always see the movie titles on the guide when I'm flipping through.
It makes me ill just being in the same room when one is on. I thought it was just me....
It actually came on cable this weekend. The rating it was given was 2 out of 4 stars. Even they think it's average at best.
I'm still distraught over the presidential election and curled up in my safe space - the professor granted me an extra week to complete this assignment.
