how do you explain what's so appealing about chick-flicks to a guy who really doesn't get it? I would particurarly like to explain why people like the typical best sellers like THE NOTEBOOK, GREASE, DIRT DANICNG, PRETTY WOMAN, TITANIC.. and so on.. cause whenever he asks "why do you like that stupid movie" i say "because i do, its awesome, i enjoy watching it" and he says "thats not good enough, you have to give me a good motivation for hy you like every single one of those movies."
So pretty much - how do you convince a chick-flick-hater by using like one sentence? what can be a good reason for liking chic-flicks?

and only real men watch chick flicks with their girls =)

But I (along with many others, no doubt) enjoy watching them because they're not gory and violent, and have a gorgeous leading man like Leonardo DiCaprio. Many of us wish to be in a situation like the one one portrayed in the movie.
Titanic, especially, minus the whole love-of-your-life-dying and falling-off-an-ocean-liner thing.
As for one sentence? It could be a rather long one, and depend on if you're a girl or guy.
Girl:
"Because Leonardo DiCaprio is cuter than your FACE!" (which is probably true, too)
Guy:
"Because I watch them with my girlfriend and have two hours of time laying with her on the couch"
