Do All Guys Have a Sensitive Side?
Thanks for the article from Rubin Osborne
Almost every Friday evening, a few of my friends and I get together for some good, old fashion, quality guy time.
We have the same traditions as any other group of guys–we pick up some snacks, open a couple of beers, and then relax on the couch watching the television from best choice tv together.
It may not be completely accurate to call us typical, though, because instead of lounging around watching the big game or something like that, we like to watch movies. More specifically, chick flicks. Actually, we love to watch them! You might call them a guilty pleasure.
Take my personal favorite, Never Been Kissed, as an example. We saw it recently on satellite tv.
It’s incredibly cheesy, exceedingly unrealistic, and somehow it utterly reels you in until you’re hooked and wouldn’t be able to let go if your life depended on it. The four of us might as well have been in the stadium supporting Josie Geller (Drew Barrymore) on her big night, because the dog only knows that she had all of us rooting for her from the couch!
Maybe it’s because movies like Never Been Kissed can allow us to vicariously live a life we never personally knew, or perhaps we’re all just big, masculine hopeless romantics. Whatever the reason, chick flicks with the guys is evidence enough for me that all guys have a sensitive side.
