Chick-Flick
Chick-Flick. Now who’s gonna give the peak performance here? The master of cinema…that’s who.
Because you’re flocking to see a chick-flick. That cookie-cutter genre that deals with well-worn-out love stories and extraordinary old-hat romance. And in the spirit of activity. You’re gonna drag your mate to see one.
“UNLIKELY,” says you.
“NAW,” says me.
But make no mistake, watching these movies with the other half has become far more than a quaint destination. Because it continues to be a human activity that stimulates body. And mind.
In fact, there’s certainly stuff you’ll never feel except from the silver screen. Like real messy humanity. Or making us feel flawed loneliness. Not to mention seeing grown men shipwrecking for an encore performance.
chick-flick HOLISTIC & HEALTHY…
But still its good to keep a tissue box handy. Because he might go kicking and screaming but hey he’ll survive.
While it’s a fact that these films are anchors on the world’s happy list of cinema. It’s also a fact, that you’ll find these fairy-tales fully embracing the real world. Which inspires the idea of happily ever after with great warmth. And what relationship couldn’t use a bit of that from time-to-time?
But know before you go. (To the movie that is.)
That not all chick flicks are equal.
So, rather than simple encouragement. Cleverly provide a way for him to feel he’s contributing to the decision. Like an active endorsement …”My treat.” Or “I’ll buy the popcorn.”
Instead of passive abstinence like…”Let’s protect the weekend!”
Although selecting the right movie may not seem hard-core. Indeed it’s serious business.
Especially if you must lead him kicking and screaming!
So, face that problem head on: Because you’ll be walking into a matinée full of puffy eyed lonely people!
Ensure a sure-fire fix: If he stays, offer to buy him a round of wings and beers afterwards.Perhaps its a sticky situation: Like you’re jumping the gun. You don’t much like the movie pick either.
Then always use a direct hit: Up your game. Insisting you’ll be pierced together naked during the next home binge-a-thon !Not to mention a set-back: Yours truly is simply set in your ways. You refuse to believe the reviews.
Provide a straight shot: Have a back-up plan. Wings and beers…again!Then there’s that glitch in the matrix: You’re a repeat offender…
Instead overhaul the selection: You don’t want to think climate change. SO, WATCH AN 80’S MOVIE INSTEAD!OF COURSE, there’s difficulty: You’re taking heat. Because he thinks you should be sent to prison for this crime.
Renovate your moves above all: Start a thumb war…Then let’em win. Because winner picks the form of punishment!
Unfortunately, there is no “C” option here!
“Well it’s chick flick night…honey!”
“Is this really necessary.”
“YUP.”
“Well I’m here to learn.”
“THEN ZIP UP THE PANTS BECAUSE…I’M BUYING.”
