Question for the men who hit cinemas.

Haven’t gone for many years. I wait for the DVD, too.

I worked at movie theatres all throughout High School. My older brother and sister did the same. This is 20+ years ago, and to be honest, I didn’t pay that much attention to the people.

Back then, you would see some women attend movies on their own. However, not at any time when there was likely to be too many people there. So that meant never during the summer or Christmas seasons, or on the weekends. That would come on weeknights to minimize the number of people that saw them. Really back then, the majority of people who saw movies out of season on weeknight were by themselves. Mostly men, but some women.

Now that I think about it though, my mother would go see movies by herself. Much different situation though, as she was seeing the movie for free, and would only see them when one of her kids was working.

As far as watching movies at the theatres by myself, I never liked it very much. I like watching movies with my kids the most as they still have the child like appreciation for movies…and it rubs off on me a bit. I prefer the theatre too be about 3/4 full so that you do get a bit of a cheering crowd effect, but that can backfire if there are people who have no sense of etiquette.

Ok. Then do it.

I also go to movies to HEAR them (soundtracks and SFX) and don’t like audience noise…. so the fewer the better.

One strong recommendation – if you’re ever in Boston and can go see a classic film like Jaws in a theater like in an older neighborhood, it’s an experience you’ll never forget. I was out there visiting and took my kid with me – it was awesome. People shouting hilarious s~~~ like Rocky horror picture show style, the whole audience lighting up and cheering when lines like “We’re gonna need a bigger boat” come through. Just a total blast.

PUA 101. (I know I know – lay off the PUAs, it’s what got ME here).

Very good strategy too. If you really want to cut to the chase, I’ve hired strippers to be my arm candy at certain clubs/bars, and then a stream of tail followed because every other female that saw you there earlier with a smokin hot chick NEEDS to know what’s up with that.

A small investment can yield a steady stream of tail….

I don’t really do “date activities” like movies alone. I don’t like restaurants much either. To each his own.

I generally think going to the cinema/theater is a waste of money. For that money, you can watch on netflix or buy a dvd.

I can’t stand the cinema anymore. The never ending ads/trailers before the movie starts, overpriced tickets, dickheads checking their phones that distract you, noisy eaters stuffing their fat greasy mouths.

So much more enjoyable to relax at home, have a beer and watch it in peace.

My sentiments exactly.

I see movies by myself all the time. Sometimes unintentionally, because I always make sure to arrive first to “save a seat”. That way the girl pays for her own ticket, and sometimes snacks too. Besides, most of the time when you wait on a woman to see a show you miss the first ten minutes.

Occasionally one of them won’t be up to speed on that and will wait by herself outside the theater while I’m inside enjoying the show. And she can’t call me to complain because it’s rude to leave your phone on in the theater.

But that is not my problem.

I have actually seen other women alone at the theater, especially if it’s late in the run and there’s almost nobody in the auditorium (though they could also be present in full theaters but harder to spot in the crowd). They’re almost exclusively post-wallers, and usually extremely post-wall at that, but not entirely.

There’s another thing I’ve noticed about them: if the lone woman is in any sort of pre-wall condition, and I’m the only other person in the auditorium, she’ll sit at some distance from me. However, if it’s myself alone with a few couples present, the lone woman will inevitably sit down next to me like we’re a couple. It’s like they can’t bear the thought that the women there in couples might see them alone.

Once this happened, and then the girl I was going with finally showed up. The ensuing silent catfight was far more entertaining than the movie.

Women are more than anything social beings and in her own eyes going to cinema alone is like voluntarily dropping SMV for 5 points on a 1-10 scale.

Their perceived SMV isn’t as much of a concern because there’s likely nobody they know there to witness it, especially if the theater is mostly empty.

It has a lot more to do with their instinctual fear of abandonment. Nobody gives a f~~~ about their SMV when they’re on the toilet, and yet they never go to take a p~~~ alone either if they can help it.

I went to get some popcorn soda and stuff, and this good looking c~~~ behind the counter said, just you, and I said yup with a smile on my face.

: “Watching the movie alone?”
: “Damn right. I’m here to see the movie, not listen to one of my girlfriends yap yap yap all the way through it.”

Women are f~~~ing puppets, nothing they do is genuine. It’s all about how they seem and how they appear to other people and not how they actually are. Take for instance social media, you have all these girls taking pictures of themselves doing stuff and out with the girls when the only reason they go out is take a picture, be seen and then slunk back home.

Appearance is everything to women, and yet they get mad when a man wants a woman that isn’t a f~~~ing land whale. Typical hypocrites.

Feminism is a movement where opinions are presented as facts and emotions are presented as evidence.

Yet the bitches i was with didn’t give a f~~~ about their actual physical appearance.
