One might always watch one in its entierty then take a long "ahhh" sigh at the end. Only to hope that "one day" someone could love me as much as he loves her.
We all know it's fiction so why do we think these men really exist? I have yet to be married so I cannot add my thought of chick flicks from a married point of view but I can guess; "one day" my husband will be like him.
I don't think it really could change that much. The people I know who are married, still live in reality and none of the stuff in chick flicks happens in reality.
So, I pose an interesting hypothesis:
Women who watch chick flicks are less satisfied with their current state of life.
There is no way that a woman can turn off the TV after watching 1.5-2 hours of made up fairy tails (aka chick flicks) and be happy with ones current state of life.
What I think after viewing such a flick, is:
“No one has ever….”
- Tried to sell their season tickets to the Red Sox, just to win my trust
- Gone to a Celine Deion concert sporting a pink Celine Shirt with me
- Named off all seven of my smiles and why I use them
- Said “I can’t help myself” while telling someone else about me
- Conjured up an elaborate pen pal scheme just to prove their love for me
- Convinced my sisters crush to marry her just after saving my family from embarrassment by paying off my younger sisters frivolous wedding, just so that he could prove that he wasn’t proud and would do any thing for me
- Shared a bag of razzle’s with me even though I was convinced I was a thirteen year old stuck in a thirty year olds body
- Didn’t get in the way of me winning a reality show to marry his best friend even though he loved me
- Come from the 1800’s to show me the meaning of life and cuddle with me while I am sad
- Robbed a sculpture from a museum to keep my father from being outed as a fraud
- Put a diamond ring in the change slot of the Chicago train station for to prupose
- Helped me cover the tomatoes while I was in a robe and a hair cap
- Help my spirit find my body and come out of a coma and build me a wonderful garden on my roof top
"If it takes looking like __________ to get a guy like that, I guess it is a fairy tale."
(take your pick of leading actresses to fill in the blank)
Yet still, knowing and admitting to such feelings towards such fictitious films, I will continue to indulge my self to the hope....
"one day".

now what is sad is that i can tell you what movie each of those examples is from....but what is worse, is the fact that my dream fairy tale ending would be that jared turns into a vampire, then he turns me, and we both have awesome extra-vampy powers and live in a trendy house in the woods. (with NO little mixed vamp/human babies. no no no.)
I'm just as sad as Lindsay---except my dream doesn't end with turning into a vampire.
But yeah, I fully know all of those movies.
For so long, I had hoped that "one day" you would post again, and now you have! You have made my dreams come true.
Oh, I forgot: YOUR BLOG LOOKS LOVELY!
Haha! Good call Chels. And yes, I too knew all those movies.
It made me very happy that you included a Jane Austen reference.
