Today, I came across something interesting while I was browsing the “That guy with the glasses” site: An article about romance movies for men.

Well, since I’m a bit of a movie-person(Although I like silent films the best, thankyou very much), I checked the article out and came to some astonishing relevations.

 Now before I continue further, I must say this: Yes, I’m a girl, and no, I do not like romance movies. If it has explosions and action, yes, I’ll probably watch it. If it’s old, filmed in the 1910-1930’s, I’ll watch it. If it’s funny, I’ll probably give it a try. I’m usually not that picky with my movies, they can frankly be pretty predictable and half-bad if they’re to serve as temporary entertainment, except if it’s a romance movie.

Romance stories and dramas can be beautifull, yes, but in order to appeal to me, it has to be something really, really, really good. Because I really can’t stand those movies that are all about some stereotyped chick in her 20’s-30’s, who dons make-up and thinks clothes are her life. I mean, hold on. I don’t know any people around me who acts like that. I don’t act like that. So why the heck should I bother watching? It’s the same crap in every movie, right? Girl-falls-love-with-guy, one-of-them-screws-up, they-get-together-at-the-end-anyway.

Guess what? That list proved me wrong.
The descriptions of every movie actually made them seem like movies I’d watch. Why? Because, a) They’re mostly funny, and b) They actually seem to have a decent story.

So, if you don’t like romance movies, try that list. Really, there’s lots of really good movies on it! And the sappy-predictable-romance-frilly-bullshit is far, far away.
