Question Posted Wednesday November 11 2009, 12:34 pm
I'm a girl and I hate chick flicks. I just think there dumb and pointless, and everyone has the same story line; boy gets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back again. I would rather watch a mob movie anyday. Is that weird? My bf says it is.

Hey, if you like mob movies or action films, there's nothing wrong with that. Who says girls have to watch sappy love movies anyway? ;) Watch your mob movies. You're perfectly normal. :) [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

For one thing, it would mean not having to be dragged to chick flicks at the movies, and more importantly, it means having a girl who might actually have taste in film. I love mob flicks, dark comedies, dramas, independent/foreign films, etc., but I dread chick flicks-- and I'm a girl too. So nothing wrong with that. One of my friends ( a guy) is really into film, and we could go on and on talking about it...one common denominator: Hollywood blockbuster flicks bend the concept of love and relationships way out of proportion (you could say that about other things too), mainly to attract viewers, which means more profit. Unfortunately, as you mentioned, the same plot plays out time and again in a "no thinking required" fashion. I think most of us have enjoyed a chick flick or two here and there (mainly the funny ones, or the ones from the 80s, for example), but overall, they are dull and predictable.
If your boyfriend brings it up again, you can let him know that you happen to like mob flicks, and lots of other things, but find chick flicks to be dull and predictable. Just because lots of other girls like chick flicks doesn't mean it's weird for you not to- quite the opposite. [ ciao77's advice column | Ask ciao77 A Question ]
AdviceMistress answered Wednesday November 11 2009, 2:44 pm: No! Just because you're a girl doesn't mean that you're going to like or watch chick flicks. Everyone is different some people enjoy chick flicks and you happen to not...you're entitled to have your own opinion. Personally I think its cool because it shows you're not the total "damsel in distress" type of girl. Unfortunately...I sometimes am! =( [ AdviceMistress's advice column | Ask AdviceMistress A Question ]
Advicelady6798 answered Wednesday November 11 2009, 2:12 pm: Actually no it is not weird. If you a woman who is dependent on the people around them, then you have a girl who likes chick flicks. If you have a woman who is independent and kind of likes to have a say in her own life, she watches more or less gore movies, vampires, mobs, etc.
I am the exact same way, chick flicks have no originality or tone. It is the same storyline over and over again just like you said. Your boyfriend shouldn't complain, its every mans dream to live in a world where they don't have to watch chick flicks with his girlfriend :D [ Advicelady6798's advice column | Ask Advicelady6798 A Question ]
