aka wishfull thinking.
i believe the reason women like romantic comidies and other such ciniema productions- is because, in a romantic comedy everything goes right in the end, and the girl finds that one special person that is not only perfect for her- but who loves her deeply.
all women cling to the hope that at some point in their lives this exact same thing will hapen for them. they will met a person that they click w/ on numerious levels, but who chalenges them to be more and be better. that compleating person who loves them for everthing that they are.
the reason men should agree to watch romantic comidies is because you can learn from this screen character some basic goods and bads. now i'm sure the reson alot of men avoide these movies is because they believe that they will have to be evverything that this character is and that they will never live up to this ideal. its hard to say what exactly they should be picking out of the movie that will make there girl happy. and thats an entirely differnt discuassion. alot of times she wil be happy that you wanted to see it w/ her at all.
its intresting. i enjoy having my picture takn, but never like how i look in photos. all girls want to be pretty. maybe not sexy [well that too, but on a differnt level], but they all want to be pretty. society tells us that we have to be just so to be pretty. i often am very happy w/ how i lok in the mirror. but once i leave the house i louse all confidence. some times i think i am pretty. but usually i just think i am average. not ugly but not "pretty" not in a stand out way. though intrestlying enough i find that when i do see the girls who fit the magazeen "pretty" on the street, i am un intrested and wonder what it is aobut them that makes them so special. i see so many other women who dont fit the standards, and who i think prolly think the same things about their selves that i think aobut me- but i find them absoutly beautiful and intresting.
but i ask this. in movies, people meet inline at the target and then bump into each other agin at the coffee shope and then they have a date and everything is wonderfull. how does this work in real life? i saw this hot guy buying alieve at the target tonight. in movie land he would have asked why i was buying an ace bandage, and then we would have had a sports/ injuries conversation. and be meting after work in a few days. in real life?: be found alieve, and then wandered off.
i dont know why i bring this up. im not looking. ithink even if the oppertunity came up, i'm really not ready to move on... at least not in that direction. for now i am trying to fill some emptyness. in emptnes there is lust. but even that is fleeting. fleeting and ill wanted.

I don't think this is true of all romantic comedies, but I've been told by a number of people that, when Kate and Leopold was out, any man who took his girlfriend to it was an idiot. They were setting themselves up for weeks of "why don't you treat me like *he* does?", and since no non-ficticious human ever could, it didn't work out well.
But, that's just that one movie.
eh. that really wasnt a very good movie. but it dosnt help to combine manners fron the 1800s w/ now. things were differnt. and womens roles were differnt. actually that movie really bothered me. he sohuld have been totally repulsed by her manners and so forth.
