Get your popcorn out, your snuggle buddy, and your persuading skills ready because every movie night transpires a friendly altercation between you and your S.O. about what movie you will watch. If it's been months of action, science fiction, and drama movies, you may be yearning for a good old romantic comedy. However, guys have this unjustifiable notion that these rom-coms are just for girls.
They don't want the effeminate cooties to rub off on them.

Nevertheless, society's gender stereotypes are simply ludicrous–everyone enjoys a break from life and "chick flicks" is your best bet to do so. I've contacted a few men and coaxed them to admit which romantic comedies they actually enjoy because, news flash, one's masculinity doesn't vanish while nestled up with your lover.
If anything, you become more of a man as your girlfriend places you with higher regard and falls deeper in love with the gentleman who just wants to spend time with her.
